Script to check RDP connection status

Hi all,
Could anyone provide me a script to check whether multiple remote servers are able to RDP or not. I just want to check the connectivity status. I have checked with past threads available in form, but none has worked for me. Powershell or Batch or VBS scripts
... anything would be good....
I am not that much good at writing scripts.. So please help me.
Thanks in Advance..
Vinay..

Run this script on one of the servers:
Get-Wmiobject -Class Win32_Terminal -Property *
It should return a number of information including, fEnableTerminal. For servers that have RDP enabled, fEnableTerminal should be 1, for the servers with RDP not enabled, fEnableTerminal should be 0.
Once you can confirm that this is the case, I will provide the full script to run this on multiple servers with input from AD query of text file
That still won't tell you if the TS is accessible.  PortQry or Net Tcp are the fastest and easiest ways to do this.
Your code also only orks on WS2008R2 and later but, s posted, ill not work on any system.  Have you actually tried it?
The other bigger issue is that the Win32_Terminal class will always return enabled on any server even if the terminal server is inaccessible and even if it is in Admin mode.  All Servers since 2003 have Terminal Server running by default but not in
Terminal Server mode.
PortQry to 3389 will tell us that the TS is alive and available.  Win32_Terminal will report enabled even if the service is stopped.
Win32_Terminal is only useful to admins and PortQry can be used by anyone.
The above PowerShell code can be run on any system instead of installing PortQry or other software.
The original question was "Check RDP connection".  RDP is available on all systems since XP.  The Win32_Terminal class is only available on Server class machines and it does not check to see if the RDP connection is available.

  • VBS Script to validate RDP Connection

    I am working on a VBS script to confirm if RDP Connection is working on remote servers. I know some server administrators check it via Telnet on default RDP port 3389. But, it is not completely reliable. I need to open an RDP Connection to a server, capture
    the result, if the connection is working or not, document the results on a text file and close the window just opened. My code follows below:
    Const ForReading = 1
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("servers.txt", ForReading)
    Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesyStemObject")
    Outputfile="RDP.txt"
    Set ofile = ofso.createTextFile(OutputFile, True)
    ofile.writeline "computer" &vbtab& "Status"
    Dim arrFileLines(), computer, pingable
    i = 0
    Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
    Redim Preserve arrFileLines(i)
    arrFileLines(i) = objFile.ReadLine
    i = i + 1
    Loop
    objFile.Close
    For Each computer in arrFileLines
    Select Case RDPTest(computer)
    Case "RDP is working"
    wscript.echo computer &""& " RDP is working"
    ofile.writeline computer &""& vbtab & " RDP is working"
    Case "RDP is NOT working"
    wscript.echo computer & " RDP is not working"
    ofile.writeline computer &""& vbtab & " RDP is NOT working"
    End Select
    'WScript.Echo strLine
    Next
    Private Function RDPTest(ByVal strComputer)
    Dim objShell, objExecObject, strText
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Set objExecObject = wshShell.Exec("%comspec% /c mstsc /v:" & strComputer) 'Calls RDP Connection to the target server as per servers.txt list
    ret = wshShell.AppActivate(strComputer & " - Remote Desktop") 'Check out if the RDP window is opened for the target server
    If ret = True Then
    RDPTest = "RDP is working" 'Confirms RDP is working
    wshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}" 'Close up the RDP window
    Else
    RDPTest = "RDP is NOT working" 'Confirms RDP is not working
    wshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}" 'Close up the RDP-error window
    End If
    Do While Not objExecObject.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
    strText = strText & objExecObject.StdOut.ReadLine()
    Loop
    End Function
    The part that calls a remote server and open RDP by the servername provided on the servers.txt list is working. The problem is with the part that confirms the RDP window opened and close it posting the results. I need help to fix it. As it is the code is not
    recognizing the RDP window just opened by the script, it is not closing the window and not reporting the connections as working. I tested it by opening RDP manually to a server, then ran the script, and the window I opened before running the script was recongnized
    by the script, but it was not closed.
    I thank in advance any help on this question.

    You cannot do it like that.
    To test RPP use PortQry and check the returned string.  Use PowerShell.
    foreach($computers in $computers){
        $results=PortQryV2 -n $computer -p tcp -e 3389
        # process results
    That is all it takes.

  • Script for Checking the Server Status

    Hi All,
         I just need the script for monitoring the server status through the WLST.My scenario:I have 2 server in Running State.If any one of the server get failed or in not RUNNING state then i use the script for starting that server automatically.I tried some of the script but it is not working properly .If any one have the sample script please share with me.
    Regards,
    Ove.

    Hi Syed,
    Replication state is very easy to see in 4.x and earlier. The last changenumber in the supplier changelog is visible (on the root DSE IIRC), and each consumer suffix has an operational attribute "copiedfrom" that tells you the name of the supplier, the database generation id, and the last change replayed from the supplier.
    So a script that compares the results of
    ldapsearch -h <supplier> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" lastchangenumber
    and
    ldapsearch -h <consumer> -s base -b <base_suffix> "objectclass=*" copiedFrom
    will show you if a replica has fallen out of sync. It won't tell you more than how many changes behind the replica is, though, because pre-5.x changenumbers are sequential integers, not timestamps.
    However, the change that corresponds to the changenumber is clearly visible under the "cn=changelog" suffix. So if you look at the change itself you can see the timestamp on it.
    For more info on the status of replication, you should be able to query the agreements on the supplier. Those live under the "Netscape Machine Data Suffix", which you can also find on the supplier's root DSE:
    ldapsearch -h <supplier> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" netscapemdsuffix
    And of course the error logs will usually tell you if replication is failing outright.
    I may be off on some of the attribute names, but if you do some investigating along these lines, you should be able to figure it out.

  • Script to check database connection on 9.3.1

    Hello,
    I hope I can describe this clearly. We are running Hyperion 9.3.1. The database and essbase are on one server, and the applications are on another server.
    We do a nightly database and essbase backup, and in some environments, we lose the database connection, as evidenced by signing onto EAS, and trying to access the Business Rules icon, and getting a message that the connection failed. We currently resolve this by scheduling a restart of the services, but I have been asked instead if I can write a script that queries the database, and if it is not up, to send an email.
    I am not an experienced script writer, and would appreciate as much help as I can get towards this objective. Thank you for reading this.

    Take a look at this thread: Re: Planning server not showing up while attaching BR in Essbase
    I just did a quick test on my 11.1.1.3 VM and ran this query:
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM HBRPluginData
    If you didn't get at least a 1 as a response, you'd know it wasn't working.
    It wouldn't be all that hard to script it. An easy test is the next time EAS is down to go try the above query and prove that you get a 0 or an error and compare it to EAS in a running state.

  • Checking client connection status.

    Hello everyone,
    This post is basically just to give me a starting point for a program i am GOING to write. Heres the situation, i want a server program that will basically send out messages to other client machines, originally i was using JMS but now i'm just trying something new. Okay, client machines will have lousy conections to the server, i.e. wireless links that will drop in and out of range and usability, and i want the server to recognise that this is happenning and stop sending messages to that client when is is inactive, but restart again automatically when the link returns. This will hopefully be simultaed by simply unplugging network cables.
    So, all i really want to know is if java socket programming (or something similar) will let this occur WITH EASE. :-)
    Well, as always, all help is greatly apprectiated, and hopefully i get enough feedback to start coding today :-P
    Also, any alternate ways to do such a thing would be awesome.

    The problem you are addressing is not an "easy" problem, so the solution may not be programmed "with ease", but it is solvable. If you have control of the definition of both the client and the server, you can build a reliable message service using UDP or a reconnection protocol with TCP. Both of these use sockets. The choice is based on whether you want to maintain a session or not. If you wish to maintain a long term session, and plan to send lots of data over it, TCP is probably better. If there is no session, or messages are infrequent UDP is probably better.
    If you use TCP you need to detect loss of connection by sending a keepalive or heartbeat message on a regular basis, say every miinute and closing sockets that can't send or get eof when reading. You also need to build a reconnection process that attempts to reestablish lost connections, again using a timer.
    If you use UDP and reliable transport iof messages is critical you need to sequence the messages sent and provide an acknowledgement protocol to determine if a message has been received and attempt to retransmit if one is lost. Some kinds of data don't realy need this since the next message sent will contain all the data anyway.

    Hi,
    The failing line is
    sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtYou should test the connect statement you provide to sqlplus. For example:
    CONSTRING=$USER/$PASS\@$i
    echo Connect string used: $CONSTRING
    sqlplus -s $CONSTRING <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtCheck the echoed value. It's malformed. Correct it appropriately.

  • Error Message: The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

    I have a web page that contains a ReportViewer control.  I am trying to display a report, which is an .rdl file located on the SSRS server, in this ReportViewer control.  I have set the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl correctly.  I am
    getting an error message.
    Am I suppose to use an .rdlc file rather than a .rdl file?  Does the web server configuration need to use a certain account?
     I am getting the following error message:
    The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.
    The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

    Hi bucaroov,
    The error "The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found." means the ReportServerURL configured in the ReportViewer control is invalid.
    Please follow these steps to solve the issue:
    Logon the Report Server machine.
    Open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
    Copy the Report Server URL from 'Web Services URL'.
    Logon the application server(in this case, it is the server that host the web page), check if we can use the URL we got from step 3 to access the Report Server. If so, please replace the ReportServerURL in the ReportViewer control with this URL. If it is
    not available, could you please post the error message.
    Additionaly, we don't need to provide the extension for a server report. The ReportPath should be like: /<reports folder>/<report name>

  • Bash script for checking link status

    So I'm doing some SEO work I've been tasked with checking a couple hundred thousand back links for quality.  I found myself spending a lot of time navigating to sites that no longer existed.  I figured I would make a bash script that checks if the links are active first.  The problem is my script is slower than evolution.  I'm no bash guru or anything so I figured maybe I would see if there are some optimizations you folks can think of.  Here is what I am working with:
    #!/bin/bash
    while read line
    do
    #pull page source and grep for domain
    curl -s "$line" | grep "example.com"
    if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
    then
    echo \"$line\",\"link active\" >> csv.csv else
    echo \"$line\",\"REMOVED\" >> csv.csv
    fi
    done < <(cat links.txt)
    Can you guys think of another way of doing this that might be quicker?  I realize the bottleneck is curl (as well as the speed of the remote server/dns servers) and that there isn't really a way around that.  Is there another tool or technique I could use within my script to speed up this process?
    I will still have to go through the active links one by one and analyze by hand but I don't think there is a good way of doing this programmatically that wouldn't consume more time than doing it by hand (if it's even possible).
    Thanks

  • Script to check aur status

    I'm trying to write a script to check the status of a package on aur; ie, to see if its been updated since I've installed it.
    Here's what I have so far:
    #!/bin/sh
    PACK=$1 #package name
    PACKID=$2 #package ID on AUR
    #grab last updated of package on AUR
    LUPD=`elinks -source http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=$PACKID | grep "Last Updated" | awk -F : '{print $2}'`
    LAST=`grep -c $PACK /var/log/pacman.log` #number of instances of package
    INST=`grep $PACK /var/log/pacman.log | sed -n ${LAST}p` #get last instance
    echo -e "Package: $PACK \n $INST \n Last Update: $LUPD"
    This basically works fine for manually inputting a package name and AUR ID (though it needs to be prettied up):
    [mike@esme abs]$ aurcheck rxvt-unicode-256color 13060
    Package: rxvt-unicode-256color
    [2008-04-18 20:01] installed rxvt-unicode-256color (9.02-1)
    Last Update: Sun, 04 May 2008 14
    but what I envision is having a two column file with the first column the package name and the second the ID but I can't figure out how to make this loop around for each line of such a file.  If anyone can provide some help/pointers I'd greatly appreciate it.
    PS Perhaps yaourt can do this for you, but I don't use yaourt and would like to learn how to do this even just to improve my scripting abilities
    Thanks!

    local aurresult=""
    [[ -z "${cmd}" ]] && {
    echo "${iam}: use ${iam} (cmd) searchstring"
    return 1
    aurresult="$(${wget} ${aurrepo}${what})"
    ${js} -e "
    var out = ${aurresult};
    var res = out.results;
    var i, j, len;
    var tabs = ' ';
    var tabstop1 = 13;
    var oneline1 = {
    'ID':true, 'CategoryID':true, 'NumVotes':true,
    'OutOfDate':true, 'License':true

    var line1='', line2='';
    var others = {};
    function tabto(string) {
    return tabs.substring(1, tabstop1 - string.length);
    if (out.type === 'error') {
    print(res);
    quit(1);
    for (i in res) {
    others = {};
    line1 = '';
    line2 = '';
    for (j in res[i]) {
    if ((typeof oneline1[j] !== 'undefined')
    && (typeof res[i][j] === 'string')) {
    if (line1.length > 0) line1 = line1 + '; ';
    line1 = line1 + j + ': ' + res[i][j];
    } else if ((typeof oneline2[j] !== 'undefined')
    && (typeof res[i][j] === 'string')) {
    if (line2.length > 0) line2 = line2 + '; ';
    line2 = line2 + j + ': ' + res[i][j];
    } else {
    others[j] = res[i][j];
    print(line2);
    print(line1);

    Note that js(1), which has no man-page or other documentation, is part of "spidermonkey", which in turn is part of "firefox".  It makes sense to assume that people have this browser installed.  If at all possible, the javascript shell should have the file-methods compiled in to be able to use it like many other scripting languages, especially with JSON code.  The scriptlet above works with an unmodified standard install.

  • Script to check if internet is connected.

    I am new at scripting and have a problem.
    I need a script to check if my headless server, after starting up in the morning, has an Internet connection or not, and once it has established that it is connected to the Internet it needs to send me a mail that it has a connection.
    Now the mail sending part of the script I can do.
    However the checking if it has an Internet connection or not is harder and here I get stuck.
    I have the following script to check if I have a connection (found it on macinstruct.com).
    set intnt to do shell script "ping -c 1 google.com; echo -n"
    set paras to number of paragraphs in intnt
    if paras < 5 then
    Now I would like the script to recheck if it has or has no connection till it has one, and then execute sending the mail. This is where I get stuck.
    Anybody have such script or can tell me how to do this?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure that your method of checking for internet connection is ideal (and I am sure you will get some hints from others). However, what you're looking for is the repeat while ... end repeat loop.
    Note that in the example below, I have initialised your variables to an empty string and 1 respectively. You could also just repeat the lines inside the repeat loop.
    set intnt to ""
    set paras to 1
    repeat while paras < 5
    set intnt to do shell script "ping -c 1 google.com; echo -n"
    set paras to number of paragraphs in intnt
    end repeat
