Help with a loop and saving a desired result

PowerShell Help

Hi, I have a script that loops through all the VM’s on a specific host and checks the ‘isolation.tools.copy.disable’. I am trying to get the code so that if any one VM shows that the setting is $False (users can copy to the console) it saves a value of “Non-Compliant” into a variable. My problem what ever the last server in the loops results are in what ends up in the variable.

Here is my code:

#Connects directly to the VMHost

Connect-VIServer $vmhost -Credential $Credential

#Gets all the VMs on a VMHost
$HostVMs = $vmhost | Get-VM *
$VMSettings =$null


$VMSettings += ForEach ($HostVM in $HostVMs)
                {

                #Get the VM Copy setting

                $ConsoleCopyCompliance = "Compliant"
                 
                $VMConsoleCopySettings = $null
                $VMConsoleCopySettings = {$HostVM | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name "isolation.tools.copy.disable" | Select Entity, Name, Value}
                                            If($VMConsoleCopySetting.Value -eq $False) {$ConsoleCopyCompliance = "Non-Compliant"}
                                                

                $ConsoleCopyVMs = $VMConsoleCopySettings | where {$_.value –eq “false”}

                #$ConsoleCopyVMs | Select Entity,Value | ft
                $ConsoleCopyCompliance

All help is appreciated. Thanks , Ed

Remove the + before the foreach or here is another approach to try:

#Gets all the VMs on a VMHost
$HostVMs = $vmhost | Get-VM *
   
$VMSettings = $HostVMs | 
                  Get-AdvancedSetting -Name "isolation.tools.copy.disable" | 
                      Select Entity, 
                             Name,
                             Value,
                             @{Name='Compliant';Expression={$_.Value}}
                              
$ConsoleCopyVMs = $VMSettings | where {$_.value –eq “false”}

#$ConsoleCopyVMs | Select Entity,Value | ft
$ConsoleCopyCompliance
