Re: remove-vm doesn't delete from inventory

I see. It looks as if you have these VMs with the same name in different datacenters.

You can also use a Get-Datacenter -Name <dcname> on the Location parameter of the Get-VM.

That way only that specific VM gets removed (and unregistered).

Something like this

$vmlist= ("vm1","vm-2","vm-3")$dcName="MyDC"
foreach ($vmnamein$vmlist)
{  $vm=GET-VM-Name$vmname-Location (Get-Datacenter-Name$dcName)  if($vm.PowerState-ne"PoweredOff")  {    Stop-VM-VM$vm
    Write-output"$vmname shutting down" (get-date)  }  Remove-VM$vm-DeleteFromDisk:$true
}
