PowerCLI - Verify if a website is up.

[stuartgmilton]

Hi guys,

So I realise that this is not the purpose of PowerCLI, but I'm trying to create my own 'DailyChecks' script to move my team into a more automated way of working rather than checking everything manually.

So in effect, I'd like to do something like an Invoke-WebRequest, but in PowerCLI - This would allow me to have one script to do everything.

Cheers,
Stuart

You could use the Test-Connection cmdlet to test if the host is up.

For website availability you could use something like this

Many Thanks to both of you.

As it turn out, my connection code was working, but the firewall had been blocking the traffic on port 80 to my other network.
