Another powershell script. This one is for monitoring systems and to send alerts if a monitored system is no longer pingable. It generates a balloon notification and an email alert. It is similar to my laptop tracking script. Run the script once to configure it then add your hosts you wish to monitor to the hosts file in the configuration folder one host per line.
Code:
$rootdir = "$env:ProgramData\Neemobeer"
$configdir = "$rootdir\ServerMonitor"
$credfile = "$configdir\cred"
$configfile = "$configdir\config"
$hostfile = "$configdir\hosts"
Function Set-Setup
{
#Prompt for configuration information
New-Item -Path $configdir -ItemType Directory
"Configuration folder missing, please enter setup info..."
$server = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter email server"
$port = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter email port"
$emailto = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter To email address"
$emailfrom = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter From email address"
$user = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter email username"
Write-Host 'Enter your password:' -ForegroundColor Red
$pass = Read-Host -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File $credfile
#Create Configuration File
$monitor_file = New-Item -Path $configfile -ItemType File
Out-File -FilePath $monitor_file.FullName -Append -InputObject ("server:$server")
Out-File -FilePath $monitor_file.FullName -Append -InputObject ("port:$port")
Out-File -FilePath $monitor_file.FullName -Append -InputObject ("username:$user")
Out-File -FilePath $monitor_file.FullName -Append -InputObject ("to:$emailto")
Out-File -FilePath $monitor_file.FullName -Append -InputObject ("from:$emailfrom")
#Create hosts file
New-Item -Path $hostfile -ItemType File
}
#Show a Notification balloon when a host is unreachable
Function Get-Notification([string]$Title, [string]$Message)
{
$notify = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$notify.Icon = "C:\Windows\ProgressError.ico"
$notify.BalloonTipIcon = "Error"
$notify.BalloonTipText = $Message
$notify.BalloonTipTitle = $Title
$notify.Visible = $True
$notify.ShowBalloonTip(5000)
}
#Setup configuration
If (!(Test-Path -Path $rootdir))
{
New-Item -Path $rootdir -ItemType Directory
Set-Setup
} ElseIf (!(Test-Path $configdir))

New-Item -Path $configdir -ItemType Directory

Else
