Have you allowed the remote powershell ports?[url]http://blogs.technet.com/b/christwe/archive/2012/06/20/what-port-does-powershell-remoting-use.aspx[/url]Another possibility to check the running server:You can use the Registered Servers feature of the SSMS. Generate a serverlist to import and start a new query. All server without connection would be listed in the messages window.Sun, 24 Feb 2013 07:43:28 GMTPatrick_Fiedlerhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1422885-1550-1.aspxAppreciate if anyone can help.---- ONe more add on.I have SQL 2000, 2005, 2008, R2 & 2012 in place, of 800+ servers.Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:17:43 GMT- Winhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1422885-1550-1.aspxany help is appreciated..the below script gives report to only one machine twice when it is ran through VM.List of servers are not getting used for checking.why script not trying next server names in the list other than local instance.it results for local machine only.
