Monitoring servers is an important thing, almost uptime of all servers. You should have some dedicated tools such as Zabbix, Nagios, etc… BUT ! Here is a script to generate an HTML report of all your servers uptime.
Those servers are all registered into AD and the ‘get’ is based on the operating system detected by AD.

#Check if group well created

If($testADGroup){
Write-Host " OK" -ForegroundColor:GREEN
$success+=1
}
Else{
Write-Host " KO" -ForegroundColor:RED
$errors+=1
}
}
#Final
$total=$success+$errors

A quick Powershell script, easy to use, to create a lot of groups from a csv file
It could be really usefull to use the -DomainController parameter with many Powershell commands… But How to be sure to find an available DC ?
A little function will help you to do that :
Function Get_Domain_Controller {
$site = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectorysite]::GetComputerSite()$back = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain().FindDomainController($site).Name
return $back
}
