Powershell script

Question

can someone help me on the below script on how to get the below script working to get the status of multiple services on multiple servers.

$servers = 'a','b'
$services = 'a', 'b'

for each($server in $servers)
{
$status = Invoke-Command -Session $remotesession -ScriptBlock { (Get-Service -Name $services).status }

I can get this working when I pass it on like this,

$status = (Get-Service -Name $services -ComputerName $Server).status

But considering the performance of using remote connection every time vs using a pssession might be worth a shot .

Answer 1

You don't say what error or what result you are getting. It look like you just need to use $using so that your scriptblock can reference the $service variable.

$servers = 'a','b'
$services = 'a', 'b'

for each($server in $servers)
{
$status = Invoke-Command -Session $remotesession -ScriptBlock { (Get-Service -Name $using:services).status }
