How to use Powershell for a custom check in Servers Alive In Servers Alive you can use an external program as a check. This external program could be your own Powershell script. This howto explains how to do this.
- Below is an example of a powershell script that checks if a certain registry value is still 1. You save this script as (example!) c:\data\myscripts\reg_check.ps1
$RemoteServer=$args[0]
$RefValue=1
$Value=Invoke-Command -computername $RemoteServer -ScriptBlock {(get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\2.0").Forcefixup}
if ($Waarde -eq $RefValue)
{
write-host "OK. Value ForceFixup is $Value. "
exit 0
}
else
{
write-host "Error. Value ForceFixup is $Value, must be $RefValue."
exit 1
}
- In Servers Alive create a new entry and as check type select EXTERNAL (ERRORLEVEL)
- As commandline enter:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File "c:\data\myscripts\reg_check.ps1" %h
and as rule you would set it to "is <> from 0"
Woodstone would like to thank David White for creating the document on which this HOWTO is based.

"Our Network group bought HP OpenView a year before my Database group bought SA. They paid $195,000, I paid $90. My group lets them know when the network is down. SA is so good it's scary."Anonymous
