… that looks weird … how do you populate `$esx`? Using the same variable for the loop itself and defining it inside the loop cannot work. 🤔

What is it actually what you want to achieve? If you want to get information about each individual VMHost of a given cluster you may run something like this:

```auto
Get-Cluster -Name "swbdvcpyld01v.nslijhs.net" | 
Get-VMHost | 
ForEach-Object {
    $VMHostNetworkAdapter = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMKernel -VMHost $_
    $VMHostNetworkStack = Get-VMHostNetworkStack -VMHost $_

    [PSCustomObject]@{
        Hostname = $VMHostNetworkAdapter.VMHost
        IP = $VMHostNetworkAdapter.IP
        IPv6Enable = $VMHostNetworkStack.IPv6Enabled
        DnsAddress = $VMHostNetworkStack.DnsAddress
    }
}

```

!! You may adapt the queries inside the loop. You don’t provide the `VMHost` via pipeline - so you have to specify it.
