Hi,
There is any way to pass VM name in csv file and stop and start vm.
Example :

#Import VMs listed within CSV
$VMs = Import-csv "D:\Az_Powershell_13_06_20\VMstart-05.Csv"

$VMs | foreach-object {

Start-azureRMVM -Name $VM.Name -force

}

Absolutely.
Something like this where;

• myVMs.csv contains a column named vmname with your VM names

$vm_list = Import-Csv -Path .\myVMs.csv

foreach ($vm in $vm_list) {
Start-azureRMVM -Name $vm.vmname -force
}
