    There is no such thing as an "active" checkpoint. By definition, they are inert.
    If you're looking for the immediate parent checkpoint of a running VM, then look on the VM. 

    Get-VM -VMName checkpointedVM | select Name, ParentSnapshotName

    Hi,

    I would like to check what do you mean "active" checkpoint, you may provide an example and related screenshot, so that we can understand you question more clearly.

    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
    Anne
