Answer 1

What I did in one of my scripts was to test port 135 and 445 to verify WMI connection to the server, might not be bulletproof but it worked. Sample code below:
$TargetServers = Get-Content "[PATH TO TXT FILE WITH SERVERNAMES]"
$logfile = New-Item "[PATH TO OUTPUTFILE]" -ItemType file
foreach ($server in $TargetServers){
#Test server connection port 135 and 445
echo "Testing connection to $server on port 135 and 445" | Out-File -FilePath $logfile -Append
$ip1=test-connection $server -count 1 -timetolive 5; $ip2=$ip1.ipv4address
$ConnTest135 = New-Object Net.Sockets.TcpClient("$ips", 135)
$ConnTest445 = New-Object net.sockets.TcpClient("$ips", 445)
If ($ConnTest135.Connected -and $ConnTest445.Connected){
echo "Connection to $server successful" | Out-File -FilePath $logfile -Append}
