PowerShell script for starting service and calling external script on remote machine.. I have most of the script written where it will start the w3svc service (which is what I need). Then I have added an extra elseif statement which will be used to call an external script for each machine listed in servers.txt. These may be powershell scripts or bat scripts.. All I am looking to do is look at servers.txt pull in the server name and then look at the name/location of the script residing on that server and run that script (on the remote server) with a start or stop command. I then am using a write-output in both operations to log exactly what has been done to a log file. Once I get this start script going then I need to use the same script to create a stop script which will use the same servers.txt to stop the w3svc service and run an external script with a stop argument.I am adding the code that I have already. I have tried to use WMI for this so I can leverage Powershell 3 but am not opposed to something different if it is cleaner. Also if there is anything that needs cleaning up in my current script I would appreciate the input.SVCStart.ps1# Setup trap to catch exceptionstrap [Exception]{write-error $("TRAPPED: " + $_.Exception.Message);}$start = $true#Assuming headers of "computername","operation","service" $computers = Import-CSV 'C:\scripts\servers.txt' foreach($computer in $computers){write-host $computer.computername $computer.service $computer.operation$objWMIService = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service -computer $computer.computername -filter "name = '$($computer.service)'"if($computer.operation -eq "service"){if($objWMIService.state -ne "Running"){$objWMIService.StartService() | Out-Null;# Refresh the object instance $state = (Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name = '$($computer.service)'" -computer $computer.name).stateWrite-Output "$($computer.service) is ""$state"" on $($computer.name)" | Out-File C:\scripts\log.txt -append}}elseif($computer.operation -eq "script"){ $operation = [IO.File]::ReadAllText(".\external.ps1")Invoke-Expression $serviceWrite-Output "$($service.service) is ""$state"" on $($computer.name)" | Out-File C:\scripts\externallog.txt -append#As part of the ElseIF I have to call whatever script (may be different names) for each server listed under service. # As part of calling the EXTERNAL script I need to be able to give it a start of stop argument. # so this portion of the start script is going to be pulling from the third placement on server.txt under the header of service.#[the script will live on the remote server, this is where I want to use psremoting (or WMI If possible )to run the script *on* the remote server. } } Servers.txtcomputername,operation,service <--headersc1399,w3svc,c:\scripts\external.ps1 <--Server name, service, external script locationWn2k8srv,script,c:\scripts\dotwhatever.batXcutionDT,w3svc,c:\scripts\vstudio.ps1XcutionSRV,script,c:\scripts\getprocess.ps1Optional Information: Language (or Software): OtherAlready Tried: I have written most of the script but I cant figure out how to use invoke-expression to run the external script and add in a start argument..
