Incorrect commands listed in the "View the VM instances in a scale set" section

[zahnrad]

The "View the VM instances in a scale set" section specifies the wrong Powershell commands. It says to use Get-AzVM but when you attempt to use that command to list VMs that are part of a scale set nothing is returned.

The command that should be used is Get-AzVmssVM and it also requires the -VMScaleSetName parameter to successfully list VMs.

(As a note, this issue also exists for the azure cli version of these instructions here.)

Tested and was unable to reproduce issue as stated. VM information was listed as expected.

The alternative command suggested does also work.
