Get-Service | Where {$_.status –eq 'running'}

2. Get the service from (SERVICE-NAME) in SERVER1, SERVER2 with formate table.

 Get-Service -ServiceName *SERVICE-NAME* -ComputerName SERVER1, SERVER2 | select name, status, machinename | sort machinename | format-table -AutoSize

3. Get the service status form the list of server name store in MyServers.txt.

 Get-Service -computername (get-content c:\folder\Servers_list.txt) | Select servername,status |sort name | format-table -autosize<span id="mce_marker" data-mce-type="bookmark" data-mce-fragment="1">​</span>

4. Get server from wuauserv from listed VM’s.

 'vm1','vm2','vm3'| foreach {get-service
wuauserv -computername $_} | Format-Table Name,Status,Machinename -AutoSize

5. Run the service from the listed remote server.

 Get-Service -Name express* -Computer vm1, vm2, vm3 |
? { $_.Status -eq "Running" } |
format-table -auto MachineName, ServiceName, DisplayName, Status

6. Find out from the list of server in which one SQL is installed and export in csv file.

$Machines = Get-Content -Path "C:\machines.txt"
foreach ($computer in $machines){
Write-host "SQL Service chacking on $computer" -b "green" -foregroundcolor "red"
Get-Service -Displayname "*SQl Server*" -ComputerName "$computer"
}

 ps >.\sql_service.ps1 | Export-Csv C:sql_install_server.csv -encoding "unicode"

Running Multiple different services on different servers

7. Starting Multiple services on different servers.

Create a 2 txt file and save one as services.txt which is the list of service one by one and in machines.txt list server one by one

services.txt >

wuauserv
MpsSvc
W32Time
W3SVC
wmiApSrv

machines.txt >

vm1
vm2
vm3
vm4
vm5

Next, download PsServices.exe and save to C : drive from where you are running your script.

 $Services = Get-Content -Path "C:\services.txt"
$Machines = Get-Content -Path "C:\machines.txt"
foreach ($computer in $machines){
Write-host "Service is going to start on $computer" -b "green" -foregroundcolor "white"
foreach ($service in $services) {
PsService.exe \$computer start $service
}
}

8. The same script can be performed well by using Get-Service

$Services = Get-Content -Path "C:service_list.txt"
$Machines = Get-Content -Path "C:computers_list.txt"
foreach ($computer in $machines){
Write-host "Service is going to start on $computer" -b "green" -foregroundcolor "red"
foreach ($service in $services) {
Get-Service -ComputerName $computer -Name $service
}
}
