I have a scenario where I have below details in log.ini file.
Hostname : DLC1MQF
IP Address : 10.210.208.102
Temporary IP : 10.212.215.91
Subnet Mask : 255.255.248.0
Gateway : 10.212.208.1
What I am really looking here is I want check Default gateway is pinging or not. if not pinging I need to capture the IP,Subnet and Gateway from log.ini and assign that to my NIC.
Currently I am able to write a script like below and the problem is I am getting an error message that else is not a recognised command here.
$imagelog = Get-Content C:\Windows\ImageLog.ini
foreach ($line in $imagelog) {
if ($line -like "*Gateway*") {
$line | out-file -FilePath "C:\Windows\Gateway.txt"
}
}
$gatewayIP = get-content c:\windows\Gateway.txt
$GIP = $gatewayIp -replace '.*:.'.Trim()
if ( Test-Connection -ComputerName $Gip -Count 1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue ) {
Write-Host $GIP `t $GIP `t Ping Success -ForegroundColor Green
}
else{
$details = get-content c:\windows\imagelog.ini
foreach ($line in $details) {
if ($line -like "*IP Address*") {
$line | out-file -FilePath "C:\Windows\IP Address.txt"
}
#}
$IP = get-content c:\windows\IP Address.txt
$systemip = $Ip -replace '.*:.'.Trim()
foreach ($line in $details) {
if ($line -like "*Subnet Mask*") {
$line | out-file -FilePath "C:\Windows\subnet.txt"
}
}
$subnet = get-content c:\windows\subnet.txt
$subnetip = $subnet -replace '.*:.'.Trim()
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static $systemip $subnetip $GIP
foreach ($line in $details) {
if (Hostname.StartsWith("LCG")) {
Set-DNSClientServerAddress –Local Area Connection –ServerAddresses (“10.0.6.65”,”10.0.25.65”,"10.0.0.1")
}
elseif (Hostname.StartsWith("ENG")) {
Set-DNSClientServerAddress –Local Area Connection –ServerAddresses (“10.80.38.33”,”10.0.25.65”,"10.0.0.1")
}
}
}
}
Any help is much appreciated.
You can wrap the test-connection in a try/catch block
Try{
test-connection $IP -ErrorAction Stop | out-null
write-output "working"
...do working stuff...
}Catch{
...do failed stuff...
write-output "failed"
}

I have written a script to check the nslookup for each server and export the details to Excel, but my script is looking but I am not able to export the output when I export I a getting empty data.
Please help me to export the data to Excel
CODE
## Loop through each server for Nslookup
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
$Addresses = $null
try {
$Addresses = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("$Server").IPAddressToString
}
catch {
$Addresses = "Server IP cannot resolve"
}
foreach($Address in $addresses) {
#write-host $Server, $Address
$Server_Name = $Server
$IP_Address = $Address
}
}
$result | Export-Excel -Path $FileName -AutoSize -BoldTopRow -FreezeTopRow -TitleBold -WorksheetName Server_Nslookup_Details
Your inner foreach loop is producing no output, just assigning values to the 2 variables ($Server_Name and $IP_Address):
foreach($Address in $addresses) {
$Server_Name = $Server
$IP_Address = $Address
}
You likely meant to construct a new object instead:
$result = foreach($Server in $Servers) {
$addresses = try {
[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($Server).IPAddressToString
}
catch {
"Server IP cannot resolve"
}
foreach($address in $addresses) {
[pscustomobject]#{
Server = $Server
IPAddress = $address
}
}
}
$result | Export-Excel ....
I am seeking help to get output in csv format. I have written powershell code and would want to tweak the output to get in csv format as shown in below pic.
$servers = Get-Content 'C:\Temp\listofservers.txt'
foreach ($server in $servers)
{
#DHCP
if (((Get-Service -ComputerName $server -ServiceName 'DHCPServer' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Status) -eq 'Running')
{
if ((((Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName $server | Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ComputerName $server) | Measure-Object).Count) -ge 1)
{
Write-Host "DHCP present on $server and in use"
}
else
{
Write-Host "DHCP present on $server and not in use"
}
}
else
{
Write-Host("DHCP is not present on $server")
}
#Certificate authority
if (((Get-Service -ComputerName $server -ServiceName 'CertSvc' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Status) -eq 'Running')
{
Write-Host "Certificate Authority is present on $server"
}
else
{
Write-Host "Certificate Authority is not present on $server"
}
}
Send all outputs to a custom object then export them:
$servers = get-content "C:\Temp\listofservers.txt"
$ExportPath = 'c:\temp\results.csv'
$Servers | ForEach-Object {
Write-Host "Checking $_"
# DHCP status
# Use Try....Catch to trap the errors - it's more robust than
# If...Then and prevents a wall of red text if something goes wrong
Try {
$DHCPStatus = Get-Service -ComputerName $_ -Name 'DHCPServer' -ErrorAction Stop
If ($DHCPStatus.Status -eq "Running") {
Try {
If ((((Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName $_ -ErrorAction Stop | Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ComputerName $_ -ErrorAction Stop) | Measure-Object).Count) -ge 1) {
$DHCPResult = "DHCP present on, in use"
}
Else {
$DHCPResult = "DHCP present, not in use"
}
}
Catch {
$DHCPResult = "DHCP present - error obtaining details: $_"
}
}
}
Catch {
$DHCPResult = "DHCP is not present"
}
#Certificate authority
Try {
If (((Get-Service -ComputerName $_ -ServiceName 'CertSvc' -ErrorAction Stop).Status) -eq "Running") {
$CAResult = "Certificate Authority is present"
}
}
Catch {
$CAResult = "Certificate Authority is not present"
}
[pscustomobject]#{ComputerName = $_;DHCP = $DHCPResult;CA=$CAResult}
} | Export-Csv -Path $ExportPath -NoTypeInformation
Use a hashtable to build your object, adding key/values for each property along the way. Then convert the hashtable to a [PSCustomObject] and output it capturing in a variable ($results). Finally, export it to csv using Export-Csv
$servers = Get-Content 'C:\Temp\listofservers.txt'
$results = foreach ($server in $servers) {
# Create hashtable to build object and add ComputerName property
$output = [ordered]#{ComputerName = $server }
#DHCP
if (((Get-Service -ComputerName $server -ServiceName 'DHCPServer' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Status) -eq 'Running') {
if ((((Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName $server |
Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ComputerName $server) |
Measure-Object).Count) -ge 1) {
# add Dhcp property if present, in use
$output.Add('Dhcp', 'Present, in use')
}
else {
# add Dhcp property if present, not in use
$output.Add('Dhcp', 'Present, not in use')
}
}
else {
# add Dhcp property if not present
$output.Add('Dhcp', 'Not present')
}
#Certificate authority
if (((Get-Service -ComputerName $server -ServiceName 'CertSvc' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Status) -eq 'Running') {
# add CA property if present
$output.Add('CA', 'Present')
}
else {
# add CA property if not present
$output.Add('CA', 'Not present')
}
# Convert hashtable to pscustomobject and output it
[PSCustomObject]$output
}
# output results to screen
$results
# export results to csv file
$results | Export-Csv -Path c:\temp\server_dhcp_ca_check.csv -NoTypeInformation
I have a Powershell script that shuts down a list of servers which runs fine, but a part of the code is supposed to continually PING until the the server reports shutdown.
foreach ($line in Get-Content $GetLocation) {
if($line -match $regex){
echo "Server Name = $line "
# Stop-Computer -ComputerName $Line -Confirm
ping $line -t
}
}
Is there a way to get the script to stop when the PING returns a non-response of "Request Timed Out". Is the switch T the right switch to use? Any advice on this?
You don't want a continuous ping, you want to continuously ping it until it fails.
foreach ($line in Get-Content $GetLocation) {
if($line -match $regex){
echo "Server Name = $line "
# Stop-Computer -ComputerName $Line -Confirm
while((Test-Connection $line -Count 1 -Quiet) -eq $true){}
}
}
You may want to put a sleep in there as well.
foreach ($line in Get-Content $GetLocation) {
if($line -match $regex){
echo "Server Name = $line "
# Stop-Computer -ComputerName $Line -Confirm
while((Test-Connection $line -Count 1 -Quiet) -eq $true){
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
}
}
}
as i was wondering why my script takes so long i was seachring on google and also here in stackoverflow.
But all that i could find any close to helpful was this one here, Powershell Script Running Slowly
As I'm still pretty new to Powershell this is a little complicated to get through and take over to my script as i dont know how to handle those mentiond things anyway as i never heard of it before.
My Script is pretty easy and just gives me some Informations if there is something that returns an echo or not.
I wanted to "scan" our entire Network so I made an csv with out local Networks IP's and pass it to Powershell to "Ping" those.
But I realised that the "was not responing" part takes a long time to execute.
$list = Import-Csv -Path D:\ipcheck3.csv -UseCulture
$x=$list.IP
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
foreach ($y in $x)
{
try
{
if(Test-Connection $y -Count 1 -quiet)
{
write-host "$y responded"
$y | Export-Csv -Path D:\PingSucceded.csv -Append
}
else
{
Write-Host "$y was not responding"
$y | Export-Csv -Path D:\Pingfailed.csv -Append
}
}
catch
{
Write-Warning "Other Error occured"
}
}
There are not only Windows Clients out there so WMI is not an option and I don't know how to achvie this otherwise
EDIT:
After the Workflow input this is my "Try Version"
workflow Test-IPrange
{
Param
(
$IPs
)
$tocheck= $IPs.IP
foreach -parallel ($IP in $tocheck)
{
$pingsucceed = Test-Connection $IP -Count 1 -quiet
if($pingsucceed -eq "True")
{
$IP | Export-Csv -Path D:\testj.csv -Append
}
else
{
$IP | Export-Csv -Path D:\testn.csv -Append
}
}
}
Test-IPrange -IPs $(Import-Csv -Path D:\ipcheck3.csv -UseCulture)
My Output of Workflow Try
#TYPE System.String

localhost,"True","4e208e38-f7c2-492f-9d81-6583a103c3ac","12"
localhost,"True","4e208e38-f7c2-492f-9d81-6583a103c3ac","12"
With the Help of #Fourat
i edited my code to this form
Function Custom-Ping {
Param(
[string]$Address
)
$ping = ping $Address /w 1 /n 1
$result = ![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($ping -Like "*(0% Verlust)*")
return $result
}
$list = Import-Csv -Path D:\ipcheck3.csv -UseCulture
$x=$list.IP
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
foreach ($y in $x)
{
try
{
if(Custom-Ping $y)
{
Write-Host "$y responded"
$y | Export-Csv -Path D:\PingsuccededV3.csv -Append
}
else
{
Write-Host "$y was not responding"
$y | Export-Csv -Path D:\PingfailedV3.csv -Append
}
}
catch
{
Write-Warning "Textline from CMD Command or other Error"
}
}
which works properly good and is faster
I think that your process time is spoiled by the timeouts. If all your IPs are in the local network, try to reduce the timeout (because the default value is 5 seconds).
If you have Powershell 6 :
Test-Connection $y -Count 1 -quiet -TimeoutSeconds 1
If you don't, just use ping :
ping 58.47.45.1 /w 1 /n 1
You can also use a parallel for each loop, but it won't help much if you have multiple fails :
ForEach -Parallel ($x in $y)
{
...
}
UPDATE
In order to handle ping results, you can use a function like this (I used the keyword 'perte' because my computer is in French) :
Function Custom-Ping {
Param(
[string]$Address
)
$ping = ping $Address /w 1 /n 1
$result = ![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($ping -Like "*(perte 0%)*")
return $result
}
I've used Workflow to solve this issue my self. It's a few years ago I did it, so something better and newer is out there. But this works great for me...
I've ping over 2000 computers within a few Min...
workflow Test-ComputersConnection
{
Param
(
# Param1 help description
$Computernames#,
# Param2 help description
# [int]
# $Param2
)
foreach -parallel ($ComputerName in $Computernames)
{
$ConnectionTest = Test-Connection -ComputerName $ComputerName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Count 1
if ($ConnectionTest.Address -eq $ComputerName) {
Write-Output $(Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Computername" -Value $ComputerName -InputObject $ConnectionTest -PassThru )
#Write-Verbose -Verbose -Message "[$($ComputerName)]: Replays on Ping."
}
Else {
#Write-Verbose -Verbose -Message "[$($ComputerName)]: Do not replays on Ping."
}
}
}
$OnlineNow0 = Test-ComputersConnection -Computernames $( Import-Csv -Path D:\ipcheck3.csv -UseCulture |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty name)
The code above is a quick edit of what I use... You will need to edit the $(Import ...) statement first, to make sure the PC name is being deliveret to the workflow.
I've just testet on my own computer and it gave me a reply...
I'm trying (and failing) to:
Connect to the server by iterating through a list.
Confirm location where file exists (1 of 3 locations).
Replace a string in that file.
I've tried to do this multiple ways. There are two that I have which do part of what I want.
Can someone please help me understand if there's something I'm doing inefficiently or how to put all this together?
This one can loop through the servers and find the file
$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$nope=$null
$servers= Get-Content C:\Servers.txt
foreach ($server in $servers)
{
If (Test-Connection -ComputerName $server -Quiet)
{Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -ScriptBlock {$file=(Get-Childitem -Path C:\DiskSpace.ps1, D:\DiskSpace.ps1, Y:\DiskSpace.ps1); Write-Host "Found $file on $env:computername."}}
Else {
Write-Host ">> Could not connect to $server."; $nope += $server}
}
Write-Host $nope
...and this one can at least find a local file
$valid=#('')
$paths = #("C:\Users\user_name\Desktop\DiskSpace.ps1","C:\DiskSpace.ps1","D:\DiskSpace.ps1","Y:\DiskSpace.ps1")
Foreach ($path in $paths)
{
if (Test-Path $path)
{$valid += $path}
}
write-host $valid
Here's how I intend to to replace the string:
$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$find=(Get-Childitem -Path C:\, D:\, Y:\ -include DiskSpace.ps1 -Recurse)
Write-Host $find
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
try {
(Get-Content $find).replace('bad_email#domain.com', 'good_email#domain.com') | Set-Content $find
}
catch {
}
Get-Content $find
You had all the pieces already. Simply loop over your Get-Content command for each file in the Invoke-Command.
$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$servers = Get-Content C:\Servers.txt
$files = #('C:\DiskSpace.ps1', 'D:\DiskSpace.ps1', 'Y:\DiskSpace.ps1')
$report = foreach ($server in $servers) {
if (Test-Connection -ComputerName $server -Quiet) {
$response = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -ScriptBlock {
Get-Childitem -Path $using:files | ForEach-Object {
(Get-Content $_).replace('bad_email#domain.com', 'good_email#domain.com') | Set-Content $_
[PSCustomObject]#{
Name = $env:COMPUTERNAME
Message = "$($_.fullname) updated."
}
}
}
if ($response -eq $null) {
[PSCustomObject]#{
Name = $env:COMPUTERNAME
Message = "No files found"
}
} else {
$response
}
} else {
[PSCustomObject]#{
Name = $env:COMPUTERNAME
Message = "Unreachable"
}
}
}
$report
