automation - Is there a way to get VMs Operating System name from Hyper-V using powershell? -

i'm writing script on hyper-v host getting vms guest informations. there way vms operating system name hyper-v using powershell?

there several examples using (get-wmiobject win32_operatingsystem -computername $vmname).name should information directly hyper-v because of domain restrictions.

also i'm using hyper-v module of powershell couldn't see cmdlets related os.

this retrieved guest intrinsic exchange items.
