Powershell is a wonderful tool that finally allows Windows Server Administrators to have the ability to access a shell-like environment that Unix Administrators have had for years.

This script (Powershell CmdLet) will read a list of servernames, ip address and service names from a cvs file. It will check each service on the server to verify that it is running. If it is not running, it will notify via email.

• The Service_Check.ps1 is the Powershell script.
• The Service_Check.csv lists each server, ip and service name to check.
• The Service_Test.bat is what is used to run as a scheduled task.
