PowerShell: How to return all the VMs in a Hyper-V Cluster

Give this a shot:

$clusterNodes = Get-ClusterNode;
ForEach($item in $clusterNodes)
{Get-VM -ComputerName $item.Name; }

You have to reference the Name property of the objects returned by Get-ClusterNode.

These one liners maybe a little easier. Works for Windows Server 2012 R2, should work for 2012.

Get-VM –ComputerName (Get-ClusterNode –Cluster CLUSTER)

Basically gets the nodes from the cluster called "CLUSTER". Feeds list to your -ComputerName

Get-ClusterGroup -Cluster CLUSTER | ? {$_.GroupType –eq 'VirtualMachine' } | Get-VM

Gets the cluster groups and filters for type called "VirtualMachine".

With either, you can execute Get-ClusterGroup instead of Get-ClusterGroup -Cluster CLUSTER if you are on one of the nodes.
