Description

The Get-AzureRmVM cmdlet gets the model view and instance view of an Azure virtual machine. The model view is the user specified properties of the virtual machine. The instance view is the instance level status of the virtual machine. Specify the Status parameter to get only the instance view of a virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1: Get model and instance view properties

PS C:\> Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "VirtualMachine07"
