The below script will allow you to output ip details for multiple servers on a network.

You will need powershell v2 installed and the PsExec executable

Copy & paste the following into Powershell amending the paths as required.

$inputfile = ‘C:\serverslist.txt’  #this is the file containing the list of server host names, one per line

$outputfolder = ‘C:\outputfolder\’  #this is the folder where the output text files will be stored

set-alias psexec ‘C:\PsExec.exe’ #this is the path to the free Sysinternals PsExec tool, available from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553

$servers=Get-Content $inputfile #get list of server hostnames

$serverscount = $servers.count;$i=0 #set values for progress counter

foreach ($server in $servers) {  #loop systematically through each server in the intput file

$i++  #increment progress counter   

Write-Progress -Activity “Checking servers for IPconfig and static route info” -Status “Querying:” -percentcomplete ((($i-1) / $serverscount)*100) -CurrentOperation “$server ($i of $serverscount)”  #display progress to the end user

$serverUNC = “\\” + $server  #PsExec requires server names to have \\ in front of them

$ipconfigoutput = & PsExec $serverUNC ipconfig /all #Connect to remote server using PsExec and run ipconfig /all

$routeprintoutput = & PsExec $serverUNC route print #Connect to remote server user PsExec and run route print

$outputfilename = $outputfolder+$server+”.txt”  #generate file name based on server name

($ipconfigoutput + $routeprintoutput) | out-file $outputfilename #output data to text file

}

To check if a particular update is installed on your machine, you could browse to the control panel or check the Windows directory.

If you wish to carry out this task via script, the script can be found below. Just replace the patch in the highlighted area.

Set objSession = CreateObject(“Microsoft.Update.Session”)
Set objSearcher = objSession.CreateUpdateSearcher
Set objResults = objSearcher.Search(“Type=’Software'”)
Set colUpdates = objResults.Updates

For i = 0 to colUpdates.Count – 1
    If colUpdates.Item(i).Title = _
        “Security Update for Windows XP (KB89000)” Then
        If colUpdates.Item(i).IsInstalled <> 0 Then
            Wscript.Echo “This update is installed.”
            Wscript.Quit
        Else
            Wscript.Echo “This update is not installed.”
            Wscript.Quit
        End If
    End If
Next

Wscript.Echo “This update is not installed.”
