List Portgroups and IP address of VMs using PowerCLI

For official work, I wanted to print out a list of all the VMs and their associated network/portgroups and IP details. since I am dealing with thousands of VMs this was a difficult task to perform manually. I was searching and trying to write a script to get the expected result. Finally, To get this info I ran the following command:

Get-DataCenter DataCenterName | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},@{N="NIC";E={$_.Name}},@{N="Network";E={$_.NetworkName}}

But what I expected it to run get the output based on the cluster. therefore modified the command as follows

Get-Cluster ClusterName | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},@{N="NIC";E={$_.Name}},@{N="Network";E={$_.NetworkName}}

This gave me a nice output.

But that was not enough, the requirement was to retrieve the IP addresses. For this, I used the below script to take the result.

Get-Cluster ClusterName | Get-VM | Select-Object -Property Name,@Name='IPAddress';Expression={($_ | Get-VMGuest).IPAddress}},@Name='NetworkName';Expression={($_ | Get-NetworkAdapter).NetworkName}}

Added the following at the end of the script to get the output to a CSV file.
