Adding multiple lines inside french brackets to action multiple tasks

PowerShell Help
1

Hello All,

Is it possible include multiple tasks in the IF loop for example say after echoeing “computer name found” then I want to run get-hotfix and write a message on screen to say searching for hotfixes,

$testConnection = Test-Connection $computername
IF ($testConnection = “True”)
{Write-Host “$computername found” }

}
Else

Would it hurt you when you tried? What could happen? Did you try to search for it?

BTW: Usually your code should look like this:

IF (Test-Connection $computername ) {

“$computername online”

}

The “=” is the assign operator not a comparison operator. That would be “-eq” and you don’t compare to “True” you’d compare to $true. :wink:

Please start by learning the very basics of Powershell first.
