    Is there a PS command I could run to determine which VM's are not part of a protection group?

    Thanks

    Hello Jeff,

    I'm not sure if you can get the guest VM's protection status, but you can determine servers/clients that have an agent installed by using the Get-DPMProductionServer cmdlet and then basically select the agents that have no protected datasources, I'll give you an example below.

    Example:

    Get-DPMProductionServer -DPMServerName <YourDPMServer> | Where-Object {$_.ServerProtectionState -eq "NoDatasourcesProtected"}

    Best regards,
    Leon

    Thanks for the help Leon.

    Made a minor modification to the where clause to filter by VM's

    Get-DPMProductionServer -DPMServerName <DPMServerName> | Where-Object {$_.ServerProtectionState -eq "NoDatasourcesProtected" -and $_.ServerName -like "SCVMM*"}

    That's great! I don't have a cluster to test, with but I'm glad you found a way to retrieve this information, this can certainly be helpful for the community!
