I used to do this with a batch file and for some reason it didnt work on Windows 7 SP1 today. So i asked a colleague for a powershell way to do this quickly. Props to Robert Ramsay over at NAMMCAL with the script.<\/p>\n
copy the following and save in the c:\\scripts folder as ping.ps1<\/p>\n
$names = Get-Content “C:\\scripts\\list.txt”
\nforeach ($name in $names) {
\nif ( Test-Connection -ComputerName $name -Count 1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue ) {
\nWrite-Host “$name is up” -ForegroundColor Magenta
\n}
\nelse {
\nWrite-Host “$name is down” -ForegroundColor Red
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Next you will need to open a administrator elevated Powershell command prompt and set your execution level to unrestricted<\/p>\n
set-executionpolicy unrestricted<\/p>\n
Next in your powershell window you can change directory to c:\\scripts and type .\/ping.ps1 > output.txt and it will save the output to the file. \u00a0DONE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
