Hey Joe, Lets say one of the managed instance has guest vm installed on it. How do I access those vm from local powershell or terminal? If I want to see the list of VMs that are installed on that instance. Thank you

I don’t think that would works? What nested virtualization platform are you using to nest vms?
I think you could just install the Sam agent on the guest vm. Sam won’t manage all of the guest vms because they all would need the agent to add it to the inventory l.
