   4. Before extracting VM report you will have to know the name of your cloud service. Check your cloud service you want to take VM report from.

5. CCreate folder structure “C:\temp\Reports\Azure_VM_Info” in this location where you will save your report.

6. Change your cloud service name and run your PowerShell command to get the nice report.

$cloudsname = 'Your azure cloud service name'
 
$getvm = Get-AzureVM -ServiceName $cloudsname | select -Property Name,IpAddress,InstanceSize,Status | ConvertTo-Html -Fragment
 
 
$getvm = $getvm | foreach {
 
      $_ -replace "<td>ReadyRole</td>","<td style='color:green'>Running</td>"
 
}
 
 
$getvm = $getvm | foreach {
 
      $_ -replace "<td>StoppedDeallocated</td>","<td style='color:red'>Stopped</td>"
 
      }
 
 
 
$date = Get-Date -UFormat "%m-%d-%y"
$filename = "AzureVM_Info"+"$date"
 
 
$HTML = ConvertTo-Html -Body "<H2> AzureVMInfo - </H2>", "$getvm" -Head "<style> body {background-color: lightblue; } table {background-color: white; margin 5px; float: left; top: 0px; display: inline-block; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid black} tr:nth-child(odd) {background-color: lightgray} </style>"
 
$HTML | Out-File C:\temp\Reports\Azure_VM_Info\$filename.html
 
Invoke-Item C:\temp\Reports\Azure_VM_Info\$filename.html
