Get-VM for a hyper-v , what are the differecnes between VMName & Name

1

I want to get a list of VMS for a Hyper-V server, so I run the following command , to get the VMs details inside hyper-v server named "hyperV01":-

PS C:\Windows\system32> Invoke-Command -ComputerName hyperV01.customerABC.local -Credential hyperV01\Administrator {Get-VM}

now i got two fields regarding the VM name; VMName & Name, as follow:-

VMName                      : VMPC

Name                        : VMPC

I have 2 questions regarding this :-

  1. Can anyone advice what are the differences between these 2 fields (VMName & Name), as in my case these 2 fields appears to have exact same value for each VM ?

  2. Can i get the fully qualified name for the VM such as VMPC.domainname.local or it is something I need to configure on the VM in a way or another ?

Hey John John you did ask that question over at Microsoft Q&A and got an answer (differecnes-between-vmname-name) Posting here for reference: VMname is an alias to Name.
