| Hi Guys,
I'am looking for a script to check the availability of the RDP connection to
Windows 2000/2003 Server.I'm rebooting about 900 servers for windows
patching. Some servers keep hanging in their reboots, and I would like to
have script to check the RDP really good. I prefer the use of VBScript or a
batch file.

| netstat -a -b will tell you which port a local machine has open, and which
service has the port. On my win7 machine I get this:
5:30 C:\>netstat -a -b |findstr /n /i "24242 cryp"
20: TCP 0.0.0.0:3389 MyLocalWin7:0 LISTENING
21: CryptSvc
I tried this on an XP/SP3 machine and the output was a little different, so
some investigation is warranted (I don't have w2k/w2k3 handy at the moment).
Unfortunately this won't help you if you want to centrally query your server
universe.

| Hello Nidhin,
Two slightly different approaches, just FYI.
1. Use Remote Desktop Connection Manager
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4603c621-6de7-4ccb-9f51-d53dc7e48047&displaylang=en>and
easily spot visually which servers are not responding on 3389.
2. Use Angry IP Scanner <http://www.angryip.org/w/Download>to scan on port
3389 your chosen address range.
Also, not wishing to state the obvious and/or patronise you but if you're
looking after that many servers and patches cause server hangs/crashes, do
you not test your patches in a separate non-production environment?
Kind regards,
Andrew

| For VBscript or batch use Portqry.exe
I have a powershell cmlet that does exactly this as well.

| Can use NMAP
NMAP -iL c:\cpus.txt -sS -P0 -p 3389
IP the names/IP's/Networks in the txt file and let it rip.

| Here are two PowerShell functions I found online when I was writing a script to audit DNS server settings on a couple of hundred servers. It will also work for your purpose of checking RDP. I found that it was better to ping first and then attempt to connect to the specified port as you could discern if the host was down versus a host that is pingable but not listening on a specific port. It was useful for DNS checking.
In your case where a server not answering on port 3389 is deemed a problem, you may be able to skip the ping.
Function Ping-Host ($phost)
# Function to ping a host
# Example use:
# $data = Ping-Host $strComputer
{
$Response = $null
$ping = new-object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$pingStatus = New-Object PSObject
Add-Member -InputObject $pingStatus noteproperty Status $null
Add-Member -InputObject $pingStatus noteproperty Address $null
Add-Member -InputObject $pingStatus noteproperty RoundtripTime $null
Add-Member -InputObject $pingStatus noteproperty Options $null
Add-Member -InputObject $pingStatus noteproperty Buffer $null
$Response = $ping.send($phost) #| Select-Object -Property Address
trap [Exception]
{
$pingStatus.status = "Failure"
continue
}
If ($Response.Status -eq "Success")
{
Return $Response
}
else
{
Return $pingStatus
}
}
# Function to test if a server is listening on a specified port
# Example use:
# $listening = Test-port -server <ServerName> -port <portnumber>
# $listening = Test-Port -srv <ServerName> -port 53
#
function Test-Port{
Param([string]$srv,$port=135,$timeout=3000,[switch]$verbose)
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
$tcpclient = new-Object system.Net.Sockets.TcpClient
$iar = $tcpclient.BeginConnect($srv,$port,$null,$null)
$wait = $iar.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne($timeout,$false)
if(!$wait)
{
$tcpclient.Close()
if($verbose){Write-Host "Connection Timeout"}
Return $false
}
else
{
$error.Clear()
$tcpclient.EndConnect($iar) | out-Null
Trap {continue}
if($errorΎ]){if($verbose){write-host $errorΎ]};$failed = $true}
$tcpclient.Close()
}
if($failed){return $false}else{return $true}
}
Enjoy
