This post explains how to monitor a multiple services on a group of servers with alternate credentials.
This script will allow you to read a list of servers from the input file and use credentials to connect remote/DMZ servers to pull service status information for a set of specific services and send services status information to all intended recipients
Get-Service cmdlet don’t accept credentials parameter hence I’ve used win32_service win32 class which accepts the credential parameter. You need to comment or uncomment the required portion of code.
Most of the time it’s not good practice to hard code the credentials. In that case you might need encrypt the password and use the secured code in the script. You need to run the below Powershell script to pull the encrypted password to c:\SecurePassword.txt and copy code in the script.
$password = read-host -prompt "Enter your Password" $secure = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -force -asPlainText ConvertFrom-SecureString $secure |Out-File c:\SecurePassword.txt
In the below example, Test@2013##) password is encrypted and it’s content is shown below
There are some instance where you are OK to store the password in the script itself.
Refer the below screenshot and change the code according to your requirement
The Get-ServiceStatusReport
- Credential to connect to DMZ server
- HTML Ouptut
- Email Address validation
The Function Get-ServiceStatusReport contains five parameters
- ComputerList – List of Servers
- ServiceName – Name of Services separated by comma
- SMTPMail – SMTP mail address
- FromID – Valid Email ID
- ToID – Valid Email ID

Sample Call:-
Get-ServiceStatusReport -ComputerList C:\servers.txt -includeService “Dfs”,”Dhcp” -To <pjayaram@app.com> -From <pjayaram@app.com> -SMTPMail <SMTPMail>
Output:-
