Video calls are becoming the norm, as is streaming content that requires more bandwidth. Yet, in many cases having fast internet is just as important as having an internet connection. There is a reason that the UN considers internet connection a human right. Chances are you would have difficulties communicating with loved ones, working effectively, and even paying your bills. For example, we have a Servers.txt file containing the list of servers, and to check if the server is reachable or not we will use the below code.įoreach($server in (Get-Content C:\temp\Servers.txt)) Example #5 – Establishing a session if connection successfulįrom the above examples reference, you can also establish a session with the remote server only when the connection is successful.Try to imagine not having internet in the modern world. Most of the time, programmers use both -Count and -Quiet parameters together to check multiple server’s connectivities. Test-Connection -ComputerName LabMachine2k12 -Quiet If the server is reachable, the output is true otherwise, the output is false. The -Quiet parameter returns the output in Boolean (True or False). Example #4 – Test-Connection with -Quiet parameter. If we keep the default parameter, it counts for 4, and checking remote connectivity for multiple servers will take more than the expected time. This parameter is generally used when we test connections for multiple computers. Test-Connection -ComputerName LabMachine2k12 -Count 2 The default number of responses we receive from remote computers is 4. We can specify the number of counts we need to receive as a response from the remote computer using the -Count Parameter. Example #3 – Test-Connection with -Count parameter. You can check the ComputerName parameter is a String array parameter. Help Test-Connection -Parameter ComputerName To check the connectivity of the multiple remote computers, we can provide the multiple computer names for the -ComputerName parameter because this parameter accepts the string array. Example #2 – Test-Connection for multiple remote computers. In the above example, Source mentions the originated machine, the destination is the remote computer, IP address is the remote computer IP.įor PowerShell core version (version 6.0+) ComputerName parameter is renamed to TargentName. Test-Connection -ComputerName LabMachine2k12 This example simply explains remote connectivity. Examplesĭifferent examples are mentioned below: Example #1 – Test-Connection for a remote computer. This command is far better than the ping command as we can play with the different parameters like we can specify the number of count in response, can send requests for the multiple servers, set the buffer size and MTU limit, etc.

Many times remote computers are online, but they cannot respond due to the above-mentioned reasons. Remote computer response depends on offline, their firewall rules, network security rules, etc. This command’s sole purpose is to check if the remote computers are online or not by sending them ICMP requests to the remote hosts. How does the Test-Connection command work in PowerShell? For example, We can’t use Mtusize and TraceRoute parameters together. Please note: We need to use a single pair at a time as a syntax.
