I have a list of 30 servers with its scheduled re-boot time in an excel file. I just want to check whether the servers are up after its scheduled re-boot using vb script and mail me the status after checking each server.

Better to have each server send a heartbeat to the monitoring system on a schedule, perhaps hourly.

a much better answer yes. I remember monitoring tools with dashboards for this, eg stuff from SolarWinds, Nagios etc, but the OP didn't give any indication of $$ to spend. Some monitoring systems Ive seen expect you to write the tests for them in (script) and I think 'whats the point'

Add a column to your script with the tcp/ip address of each server and do a ping perhaps ?

Something like this will get you started on the ping bit itself - do a google for 'vbscript smtp mail' and Im sure you'll find plenty of code for emailing yourself

VB

'==========================================================================
' The following function will test if a machine is reachable via a ping
' using WMI and the Win32_PingStatus Class
'==========================================================================
If Reachable("10.50.138.48") Then
 WScript.Echo "Computer is Reachable!"
Else
 WScript.Echo "Computer is Unreachable!"
End If

Function Reachable(strComputer)
'     On Error Resume Next

 Dim wmiQuery, objWMIService, objPing, objStatus

 wmiQuery = "Select * From Win32_PingStatus Where Address = '" & strComputer & "'"

 Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
 Set objPing = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery)

 For Each objStatus in objPing
     If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) Or objStatus.Statuscode<>0 Then
         Reachable = False 'if computer is unreacable, return false
     Else
         Reachable = True 'if computer is reachable, return true
     End If
 Next
End Function
