Well, I had one, but I retired 5 months ago and have no access to the collection of my powershell scripts. I was using the powershell's TNC ( test network connectivity) to the remote RDP ports, because ping is not a good indication to the availability of the server. ICMP is a low-level protocol and the kernel may respond though the server will not be available to any users' activities.

Good luck with it

Hi all.
I would check connectivity from a Windows machine (with XymonPSClient installed) do one or a few external host. Just a ping response time would be enough.
Anyone has a quick and dirty solution already implemented?
Thanks
