Thanks Satyajit,
1) I did initially have a version of the script that worked sequentially and ran each function based on a few foreach statements, but the script has blown out since then... so I know my functions work.. I am just struggling with getting the array information
INTO and OUT of each invokeParallel script block.
2) Unfortunately we must use invoke-parallel because the entire process takes SO unbelievably long to complete, even for a single machine. Running it against 100 machines or so could easily take an entire day to complete.
3) You lost me completely :(
Jrv, normally I would in a heartbeat do as you say, but the issue is not so much with SCCM, as it is with my inability to code.. but I suppose you are right and they may have some solution to this problem already coded somewhere, but i doubt it will be muiltithreaded
which is what we really need..
Here is the code I am having troubles with.. have tried to include as much of it as i can.. things like $WorkingDirectory are not shown though.. that is the workingdirectory of the script when launched.
#Get our list of machines if it exists..
if (test-path -path "$inputfile" -erroraction SilentlyContinue) {
$MasterList = gc $inputfile
# If the list we just got IS NOT empty...
if ($MasterList -ne $null) {
Write-Host -foregroundcolor Green "Found: $Inputfile"
$MasterList
Start-sleep -seconds 2
foreach ($item in $Masterlist) {
$test = test-connection -computername $item -quiet -count 1
if ($test) {
