Ping all the servers into SP farm using powershell script and send email only if any of them failed to ping.

Question

Hi,
i am trying to have such kind of functionality, so that if any servers in sharepoint farm failed then it will send notification email to specific user that server is not able to ping or failed. Right now following script is working but it sending mail either
servers are all running or dead. But i would like to send email only if any of the server failed to ping. what i need to modify following code to work.
Thanks in advanced

Answer 1

you need to put a check on the send-mailmessage if no ping fails then exit else send the email with message.
also try this script, performing the the same thing but more granular way
