I always forget the correct line for listing these things with WMI.
Therefore, it’s now perpetuated on Fuffle.net. =)
cls
$servers = get-content "C:tempserverlist.txt"
foreach ($s in $servers){
$gwmi = (Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $s -class win32_operatingsystem -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).caption
write-host "$s - IP:"([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($s)) - $gwmi -foregroundcolor “green"}
-F
This neat little thing wil test connection for a list of pingable DNS names (URLS, switches, servers, computers, whatever), and output the result in a list with the objects IP address(es).
If the ICMP ping does not reach the object, it outputs this and jumps to the next object on its list.
Hurray!
cls
$servers = gc "C:temppingme.txt"
Write-Host
write-host "::::::::::::::::::::::::::"
Write-host ":: Testing Connectivity ::"
write-host "::::::::::::::::::::::::::"
Write-Host
foreach ($s in $servers) {
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $s -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet))
{write-host "Problem connecting to $s" -foregroundcolor “yellow”}
else
{write-host "Connectivity tested OK on $s." "IP:"([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($s)) -foregroundcolor “green”}}
