PowerShell: Find VNet of an ARM VM

Hi everyone,   it took me quite some time to find a way to get the VNet an ARM VM belongs to by using PowerShell. I don't think this is the perfect solution, but I would like to share it in order...

Hello!

 

Funny, that it isnt straight forward to get the vNet!

 

I tried to do it using another method, but in the end I am not sure it is better than yours. :)

 

$RG = "HybridWorkers"
 $VMName = "AA10"
 
 Login-AzureRmAccount
 $VM = Get-AzureRMVM -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name $VMName 
 $VMNicName = $vm.NetworkProfile.NetworkInterfaces.Id.Split("/")[-1] 
 $VMNic = Get-AzureRmNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name 
 $VMvNetName = $VMNic.IpConfigurations.Subnet.Id.Split("/")[8]
 $vNet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name $VMvNetName

 $vNet

It think it is quite weird that the command outputs this "Id" but afaik the other commands cannot use that as input to get a resource. :)
