Powershell Script to create txt file of pingable hosts?

[kennysarmy]

I have a text file of student computers.

 

I've found some powershell that let's me see which are on and which are off.

 

The code is :

 

GC D:\scripts\remotesoftware\PupilComputers.txt | %{
If (Test-Connection $_ -Quiet -Count 2){
Write-Host "$_ is UP" -b Green
}
Else{
Write-Host "$_ is Down" -b Red
}
}

 

 

Can anyone help me adapt this so that the hosts which are ping-able are added to a new TXT file?

Have a look at the Out-file command.

And Set-content

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/set-content?view=powershell-7

 

There is also some very good info here.

This should work.

 

GC D:\scripts\remotesoftware\PupilComputers.txt | %{

If (Test-Connection $_ -Quiet -Count 2){

Write-Output "$_ is UP" -b Green >> C:\scripts\testlog.txt

}

Else{

Write-Output "$_ is Down" -b Red >> C:\scripts\testlog.txt

}

}
