A PowerShell script that will upload files to and run batch scripts/commands on remote PCs, then generate a success/fail report.
- PS Remoting must be enabled on the remote computers.
- Update $domain variable - Add your organization's domain to the $domain variable
- Update $remoteDir variable - If uploading files to a remote directory, add the directory path to the $remoteDir variable
- BatchCmdCompList.txt - This is a list of computers on which the commands will be run, separated by line
- BatchCmdCommands.ps1 - This is the script/commands that will run on each computer, separated by line
This script iterates through a list of computers, uploading files if necessary, and runs commands defined in BatchCmdCommands.ps1 on each computer.
When connecting to a remote computer, this script will first test the connection to make sure the computer is reachable. It will then attempt to start the remote WinRM service, start a PSSession with the remote computer, then upload any file(s) specified by the user. If all of these are successful, it will run all commands defined in BatchCmdCommands.ps1. If all commands complete successfully, the computer will be marked successful in BatchCmd-Report.csv. If any of the commands return an error, the error is logged to BatchCmd-Results.csv. Any uploaded files are remotely deleted upon completion of the commands, then the PSSession is closed and the next computer is processed.
Upon each subsequent run of this script, BatchCmd-Report.csv is reimported and only computers that were previously failed will be attempted again. Errors are appended to BatchCmd-Results.csv.
When using a new set of computers, you must update BatchCmdCompList.txt and delete BatchCmd-Report.csv.
When using a new set of commands, you must update BatchCmdCommands.ps1 and delete BatchCmd-Report.csv.
