Hi @D Vijayakumar VLR ,

Maybe this is helpful:

$servernames = "server1","server2"  
$file = "C:\Junk\ResultServices.txt"  
$result = "ServerName;Service;Status;StartType`r`n"  
foreach ($Server in $Servernames){  
    $services = Get-service -ComputerName $server  | select Name, Status, StartType | Foreach-Object {  
        $result += $server + ";"+  $_.name + ";" + $_.Status + ";" + $_.StartType + "`r`n"  
        }  
    }  
$result > $file

You can try either of these two examples:

# get server names from array
$servernames = "server01","server02","server03"
Get-service -ComputerName $servernames  | 
    Select-Object MachineName, Name, DisplayName, Status, StartType

# get server names from a file
$serverfile = "c:\junk\list-of-names.txt"
Get-service -ComputerName (Get-Content $serverfile)  | 
    Select-Object MachineName, Name, DisplayName, Status, StartType

If you like you can sort the output, export it to a CSV file, convert it to JSON, convert it to HTML, etc. You can also select what service status you're interested in (e.g. Stopped, Running, etc.) before sending it to a file.
