To check or monitor services on remote computers using PowerShell is a one liner code.
To check Hyper-V Image Management Services on Server1:
Get-service -name vhdsvc -ComputerName Server1
Output will be:
Status Name DisplayName
------ ---- -----------
Running vhdsvc Hyper-V Image Management Service
Get-Service cmdlet also accepts wildcard, so to list all services starting with "v".
Type this command:
Get-service -name v* -ComputerName Server1
It will list all services starting with the letter "v".
“Display name” or “service name” can be used as input parameter for the get-service cmdlet.
Get-service -name "DHCP Client" -ComputerName Server1
Get-service -name "DHCP" -ComputerName Server1
Both commands will resolve the "DHCP" service.
"DHCP Client" is the display name for DHCP service.
Get-service cmdlet will display the output; provided that the remote computer and the user account used to query have the appropriate rights on the remote computer.
Monitoring or checking the service is quite important.
If there's a buggy program or a program that is still under development and needs to be monitored whether the service has stopped, Get-service cmdlet will come handy plus the use of Task Scheduler to run the script at specified time interval.
Or even a quite stable program but is a critical mission application it would be a good practice to monitor or check the service once in a while.
