Question

I m using psexec to auto run from cmd on all PCs on our network to check if certain process is running or not. but i wannt a list with all pc name that has the service running on. how can i do it from powershell?

this is what i m running now. 2 batch files and 1 text file.

get.bat

tasklist | findstr pmill.exe >> dc-01c$001.txt

run_get.bat

psexec @%1 -u administrator -p password -c "C:get.bat"

---

pclist.txt

what i got from this in result are just all pmill.exe , i m wondering if there is anyway that i can output the PC name that has pmill.exe running on?

If all computers have powershell installed with remoting enabled, you can try the script below. It also outputs computers that were not reachable so you can retest them later if you want to. If you don't need it, just remove the content inside the catch-block(or all of try/catch):

$out = @()
Get-Content "pclist.txt" | foreach {
    $pc = $_ 
    try {
        if((Get-Process -Name "pmill" -ComputerName $pc) -ne $null) {
            $out += $_
        }
    } catch { 
        #Unknown error
        $out += "ERROR: $pc was not checked. $_.Message"
    }
}

$out | Set-Content "out.txt"

pclist.txt:

graimer-pc
pcwithoutprocesscalledpmill
testcomputer
testpc
graimer-pc

Out.txt (log):

graimer-pc
ERROR: testcomputer is unreachable
ERROR: testpc is unreachable
graimer-pc
