I have 3 servers
server a, server b, server c
I want to check 3 services,
service = serva, servb, servc
server a contains serva and servb
server b contains servb and serv c
server c contains servc only
I already seen a script for checking different services on different servers but i cannot think of a way to edit it to fit to my needs. Can anyone help me please on how to check multiple servies (some are the same) in different servers?
Here is one way to do this:
$services = #( #{Computername="ServerA"; ServiceName="ServiceA"},
#{Computername="ServerA"; ServiceName="ServiceB"},
#{Computername="ServerB"; ServiceName="ServiceB"},
#{Computername="ServerB"; ServiceName="ServiceC"},
#{Computername="ServerC"; ServiceName="ServiceC"}
)
$services | %{Get-Service -Computername $_.Computername -ServiceName $_.ServiceName}
# Because I used a hashtable with full parameter names for $services, I can do this trick
$services | %{Get-Service #_ }
Now I did a lot of advanced stuff there. We can make this smpler by putting your data in a CSV file. Just use ComputerName and ServiceName as the columns to fit this example. Just have one server and one service on each line.
$services = Import-CSV servicelist.txt
$services | %{Get-Service -Computername $_.Computername -ServiceName $_.ServiceName}
The default output may not show the computer name so it would be a good idea to pipe it to a Select-Object MachineName, Name, Status.

I wrote a powershell command to audit services in HyperV HV's and
$Auditservices = get-service -computername $ComputerName -name "*iscsi*","*winrm*","*scvmm*","*vmms*","vss"| Select-Object Status, Name, MachineName
And output for the same is showing like below
MSiSCSI SCVMMAgent vmms vss WinRM Running Running Running Running Running
Is there anyway we can change the output to this format ?
MSiSCSI,Running
SCVMMAgent,Running
vmms,Running
vss,Running
WinRM,Running
If you really want to get output exactly as you've described, you'll need to create some strings:
$Auditservices | Foreach-Object {"$($_.Name),$($_.Status)"}
You might instead actually want it in CSV format? If so, pipe it to Export-CSV
I want to run a Powershell script that talks to the router/AP and figures out what IP (I have Reserved IPS) or MAC address is currently connected to the Router/AP. The script would output what is connected so that I could see "who's home".
At first I used IE though powershell logging into the router and trying to capture data of the wifi client page but I don't think that is the way to go. Is there another way to do this? A way to scan the network without worrying about logging into the router?
If you have DNS resolution on the names of your PCs, you can try this out.
$Computer = "value or foreach loop of values"
$IPAddress = ([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName($Computer).AddressList[0]).IpAddressToString
$IPMAC = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName $Computer
$MACAddress = ($IPMAC | where { $_.IpAddress -eq $IPAddress}).MACAddress
I have tested this with a couple individual names and a foreach loop getting the names from a txt or csv file, and I tested using
write-host $IPAddress $MACAddress
at the end for a sanity check.
If you want to verify an up/down state of the computer before querying, try using the 'test-connection' powershell command (basically a ping that grabs the results)
We have recently acquired a small firm having 1500 servers on which our team doesn't has access as of now although they are in domain. We need to find out how many servers are running Windows 2k3 and how many are Windows 2k8.
I know the RDP screen of both of these versions are different , for example: if we RDP a Win2k3 machine, it gives a warning notice first and once we click Ok, it takes us to the credentials screen , but in case of Win2k8, it directly takes us to Crendentials which is a proof of the OS on the server. Doing this manually for 1500 servers is a time consuming task.
Can we implement this RDP screen logic using a script to find out the Windows OS version.
I can imagine an Algorithm something like that:
Enter server name.
Invoke mstsc for that server
Verify if the dialogue box is a direct prompt for credentials or not?
If so, print Windows 2k8, else 2k3/2k.
If this logic successful on one server, I can use it in a foreach loop for all servers and export in in Excel.
With 1500 servers I'm going to assume that you have an Active Directory in place. In that case you should be able to simply run a query against AD to retrieve the desired information:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$server = 'somehostname'
$dc = '...' # domain controller of trusted domain
$fltr = "OperatingSystem -like '*server*'"
Get-ADComputer -Filter $fltr -Property OperatingSystem -Server $dc |
Where-Object { $_.Enabled } |
Select-Object Name, OperatingSystem |
Sort-Object OperatingSystem, Name
Pipe the result into Export-Csv to create a CSV file that you can import into Excel.
I'm trying to automate the create of a NIC team during an unattended Windows Server 2012 R2 install.
I've got the following PowerShell code:
New-NetLbFoTeam -Name "LANTeam" -TeamMembers "Ethernet", "Ethernet 2" -TeamNicName "LAN" -TeamingMode SwitchIndependent -LoadBalancingAlgorithm TransportPorts -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
That works well for my Dell servers, but the HP servers Windows randomly gives InterfaceAliases to. One install Ethernet 2 could be the Broadcom, the next it could be the NC373i card.
What I'm trying to accomplish is set the -TeamMembers parameter to be the two NICs that match "HP NC373i*" wildcard for the InterfaceDescription, or have a valid DHCP address. The other team I'll do something similar, but don't retrieve a valid IP address.
I've tried setting a hash table, but not getting it to stick in there correctly.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I was able to figure it out on my own. I output the get-netadapter output to a variable, and added that:
$adapters = Get-netAdapter –InterfaceDescription “HP NC*”
$nicList = #()
Foreach ($nic in $adapters) {$nicList += $nic.Name}
$team = New-NetLbfoTeam -Name “LANTeam” -TeamNicName “LAN” -TeamMembers ($nicList) -TeamingMode SwitchIndependent -LoadBalancingAlgorithm HyperVPort -Confirm:$false
I want to find what the possible columns or elements are from the get-service command. I am mostly interested in finding the log on as value a service runs under, but it'd be nice to know how to find others when the need arises.
Use the Get-Member cmdlet - gm in short
Get-Service | gm
Coming to Log On As, I think Get-Service ( or rather the [ServiceController] type)
does not expose it. You can use WMI though:
gwmi win32_service | select name, startname
