List all VM’s with a Dynamic MAC Address

Short, simple script to list all VM’s which has NIC’s with a Dynamic MAC Address set.

# Get all VM's from Localhost (change to SCVMM Server if running remote) 
$AllVMS = Get-SCVirtualMachine -VMMServer localhost
$DynamicVMs = @()

# For each VM, check Virtual Network Adapters if Mac = Dynamic. 
foreach ($vm in $AllVMS ) {
   $vmnics = $vm | Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter
     if ($vmnics.MACAddressType -eq "Dynamic") {     
     $DynamicVMs += $vm.Name
     }
   }

# List all VM's with a Dynamic Mac address. 
$DynamicVMs | Sort-Object
Write-Output "--------"
$DynamicVMs.Count

# Get all VM's from Localhost (change to SCVMM Server if running remote)

$AllVMS = Get-SCVirtualMachine -VMMServer localhost

$DynamicVMs = @()

# For each VM, check Virtual Network Adapters if Mac = Dynamic.

foreach ($vm in $AllVMS ) {

$vmnics = $vm | Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter

if ($vmnics.MACAddressType -eq "Dynamic") {

$DynamicVMs += $vm.Name

}

# List all VM's with a Dynamic Mac address.

$DynamicVMs | Sort-Object

Write-Output "--------"

$DynamicVMs.Count

It will give a list of all VM’s and the number of VM’s in that list.
Small, simple and efficient.

Thank you! Fixed 🙂
Must have missed that variable when I cleaned up the script for publishing.

line 6 should be:
foreach ($vm in $AllVMS) {
