The the idea was good in theory. However, I will be pulling it from my next presentation.

Quick Server Health Check
Posted: March 15, 2012 Filed under: PowerShell 3 CommentsThe following is a quick script I generated that allows me to do a simple health check of systems. The idea behind it was that I wanted a script that I could execute after patching systems to make sure that the systems where available and all services where running. After creating the script though I found it was a great way for me to do an early morning health check of systems. I do this by executing the script via a windows schedule task. The result of the script is them sent to me via email.
