I am trying to do something very simple but have lost my way. I have this script that works almost perfect. It goes into a list of servers checks for 2 services and checks if they are running. Then, it generates a list of servers that are running or stopped. Now, what I need it to do is to restart the service when it finds that it is stopped...
$Computers = Get-Content -path C:\computers.txt
$Computerobject = $null
FOREACH ( $Computer IN $Computers )
{
TRY
{
$Services = $null
$Services = (Get-Service -Name 'CrystalToPDF','Bradware - BoxUploadService' -computername $Computer -ErrorAction Stop | Select-Object Status, Name, DisplayName )
Add-Member -InputObject $Services -NotePropertyName ComputerName -NotePropertyValue $Computer
$ComputerProperties = [ordered] @{ComputerName=$Services.ComputerName; ServiceName=$Services.Name; Status=$Services.Status}
$Computerobject = New-Object PSObject -Property $ComputerProperties
$Computerobject
}
CATCH
{
Write-Host "Both services are not installed on $Computer." -ForegroundColor Red
}
}

Following from my comment.
Like this:
$Computers = Get-Content -path C:\computers.txt
$Computerobject = $null
FOREACH ( $Computer IN $Computers )
{
TRY
{
$Services = $null
$Services = (Get-Service -Name 'CrystalToPDF','Bradware - BoxUploadService' -computername $Computer -ErrorAction Stop | Select-Object Status, Name, DisplayName )
if($Services.Status -eq "Stopped"){ Get-Service -Name 'CrystalToPDF','Bradware - BoxUploadService' -computername $Computer | Start-Service}
Add-Member -InputObject $Services -NotePropertyName ComputerName -NotePropertyValue $Computer
$ComputerProperties = [ordered] @{ComputerName=$Services.ComputerName; ServiceName=$Services.Name; Status=$Services.Status}
$Computerobject = New-Object PSObject -Property $ComputerProperties
$Computerobject
}
CATCH
{
Write-Host "Both services are not installed on $Computer." -ForegroundColor Red
}
}
