Hello All,

I am pretty much a novice at coding & i need your help. I want to reboot a list of remote servers & ping them until they come online. I did try my hand at rebooting a single server, but was not able to do so for multiple servers.

ConnectionOptions co = new ConnectionOptions();
            System.Management.ManagementScope ms = new ManagementScope(sServer + "\\root\\CIMV2");
            System.Management.ObjectQuery oq = new ObjectQuery("select * from win32_Processor");
            ManagementObjectSearcher query1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher(ms, oq);
            ManagementObjectCollection moc = query1.Get();
            foreach (ManagementObject mo in moc)
            {
                string[] s = { "" };
                mo.InvokeMethod("Reboot", s);
                Console.WriteLine(mo.ToString());
            }

Any help in getting multiple servers to reboot at once & ping them until they are online will be of great help!

Thanks!

I would personally use PowerShell instead of C# for these kind of Sys Admin tasks.

Here is an article on how to do this with PowerShell:

It's actually just one liner:

gc c:\Temp\ServerList.txt |%{Restart-computer –computername $_ –force}

Thank you Nilesh

I followed the links that you gave me & it didn't work. The code just executes, but does nothing.
