PowerShell Scripts

I am new to PowerShell

$Server = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter Server Name'
$Service= Read-Service- Prompt ' Enter Service"

while ($Server -ne "")  
{
    Get-Service -ComputerName $Server | Where Status -eq "Running" | Out-GridView
    $Server = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter Server Name'
    $Service= Read-Service -Prompt 'Enter Service'
   Restart-Service $Service -force

}



Is there a way to read the server name and to read the service then restart regardless of its status on the same network.for eg. if you have Mutiple computer and you required a service to be restarted on each of them.

Enter Server Name: ABC1 
Enter Service: Service123 
Service123 has been restarted successfully on Server ABC1 else Restart has failed please investigate

G’Day and Welcome to the forum. :wave:t3:

Have you tried to search for a solution or example code for tasks like this at first? That’s a very common and basic task. It is more than likely that you find some code snippets you can easily adapt to your particular needs. :wink:

And since you already posted some code … what’s wrong with it? What happend? What did not happen? Did you get some error messages? If yes why didn’t you post them?

IMHO it is always a bad idea to allow free text input for technical properties. A better solution would be to offer a predefined limited choise the user can choose from.

What is Read-Service? … but again … not a good idea to allow free text input for technical properties.

didn’t you say …

?
This way you only get running serrvices. :wink:
