Issue:

You wanted to know to retrieve a list of 400 private IP addresses and names of VMs running inside the virtual machine scale sets in Azure

Solution:

You found a powershell script that helped you accomplish your scenario:

$resourceGroupName = "your_rg_name"
$vmssName = "your_vmss_name"

$nics = Get-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -VirtualMachineScaleSetName $vmssName

$vmIpAddresses = $nics | ForEach-Object {
    $vmResourceId = $_.VirtualMachine.Id
    $vmId = ($vmResourceId -split '/')[-1]
    $vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmId
    $vmName = $vm.Name
    $privateIpAddress = $_.IpConfigurations[0].PrivateIpAddress

    [PSCustomObject]@{
        Name = "${vmssName}_${vmId}"
        PrivateIP = $privateIpAddress
    }
}

$vmIpAddresses

Thanks again for sharing your solution.

$resourceGroupName = "your_rg_name"
$vmssName = "your_vmss_name"

$nics = Get-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -VirtualMachineScaleSetName $vmssName

$vmIpAddresses = $nics | ForEach-Object {
    $vmResourceId = $_.VirtualMachine.Id
    $vmId = ($vmResourceId -split '/')[-1]
    $vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmId
    $vmName = $vm.Name
    $privateIpAddress = $_.IpConfigurations[0].PrivateIpAddress

    [PSCustomObject]@{
        Name = "${vmssName}_${vmId}"
        PrivateIP = $privateIpAddress
    }
}

$vmIpAddresses
