nathan_mitten_rpa, when you query for an individual VM with the "Status" switch, you get the VM Agent details, as follows:

$vm = Get-AzVm -Name "vm name" -ResourceGroupName "RG name" -Status

$vm.VMAgent.VmAgentVersion

However, the VM must be running to get all the details.

Hi hspinto

IS there a way to do this based at the RG level so I can get the agent version from all my vms that are on that RG

  I believe there's a more efficient way of doing it, but this should work:
  
  $vmStatuses = @(); Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupName | ForEach-Object { $vmStatus = Get-AzVM -Status -ResourceGroupName $_.ResourceGroupName -Name $_.Name; $vmStatuses += $vmStatus }
  
  The $vmStatuses array will contain all the details for each VM, including the agent version, for the VMs that are running.

    hspintonever use += operator when working with collections, it's an anti-pattern.
    In this case you can use just
    $vmStatuses = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupName | ForEach-Object { Get-AzVM -Status -ResourceGroupName $_.ResourceGroupName -Name $_.Name}
