View status of ARM VMs using PowerShell

Q. How can I view the status of my ARM VMs using PowerShell?

A. To view the status of an Azure RM VM using PowerShell you must add the -Status parameter which includes an array of statuses, one of which is the current powerstate., e.g.

Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName "SAVILLTECHRGEASTUS" -Name "testvm44" -Status

To view the status for all VMs you could use something like the following:

$RGs = Get-AzureRMResourceGroupforeach($RG in $RGs){    $VMs = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $RG.ResourceGroupName    foreach($VM in $VMs)    {        $VMDetail = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $RG.ResourceGroupName -Name $VM.Name -Status        foreach ($VMStatus in $VMDetail.Statuses)        {             if($VMStatus.Code.CompareTo("PowerState/deallocated") -eq 0)            {                $VMStatusDetail = $VMStatus.DisplayStatus            }        }        write-output $VM.Name $VMStatusDetail    }}

Basically in the above PowerShell I go through all resource groups for all VMs and for each find the status related to power state then output.
