How do I confirm What NETWORK a VM is connected to?

Question

Hi,
I am just starting out with runbooks and making some progress. I have been able to startup and shutdown VM's on a schedule and it all works well.
I am now looking at how I can select only VM's that are connected to a specific virtual network. The objects returned by Get-AzureVM do not seem to contain the name of the network they are connected to. I have found that Get-AzureSubnet seems to work but
I am a little conserned about what happens if I have multiple networks with the same Subnet names? I can't find any information on this.
Has anyone any ideas?
Many thanks
Gary

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no Azure PowerShell cmdlets to achieve that directly.
You can try the commands below:
Get-AzureVM -Servicename xxx -Name xxx (to get the internal IP address and cloud service name of the VM)
Get-AzureSubnet (to get the subnet name of the VM)
Get-AzureVnetSite (to get the regions and subnets of all the virtual networks)
Get-AzureService (to get the region of the cloud service)
After you compare the region of the cloud service which the VM belongs to and the Subnet that VM in, you can know the virtual network of the VM.
However, if you have virtual networks which are in the same region and has similar address spaces and subnet names, it would be impossible to distinguish that.
The easiest way to check that is from the Azure management portal. You can check the Dashboard of the Virtual network and the names of the VMs belong
to the virtual network will be displayed under resources.
