There isn't much wrong with the code actually. You were close. Actually, you need an array of hashtables, one of which needs an array to hold the services. This object, '$services' is defined in the beginning as an empty array, and we just add the properties and values to the empty 'status' hashtable as we find stuff out. It is rather neat. I might copy it myself. By the way, to take a good look at the object you've created, you need ConvertTo-JSON (or my own ConvertTo-PSON or ConvertTo-YAML). I've only included the relevant parts of the routine in the following snippet. I didn't test the rest, but it should be enough to get you up and running again.

$Services=@()

foreach ($server in $newset)

{

$status = @{ "ServerName" = $server; "TimeStamp" = (Get-Date -f s) }

if (!(Test-Connection $server -Count 1 -ea 0 -Quiet))

{

#Server is DOWN

$status.Results = "DOWN"

}

else

{

#Server is UP

$status.Results = "UP"

$status.Services=Get-Service -ComputerName $server |

Where-Object {$_.ServiceName -like "MSSQL`$*"}|

Select-Object Name, DisplayName, Status

$Services+=$Status

}

}
