Using the Azure VM Agent to find server health

I discovered a pool of servers that seemed to be unused, and used the Azure VM Agent “Run PowerShell Script” to determine the real health.

The output told me: not domain joined, not managed, not being patched, so targets for decommissioning.

$boot = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem

$hotfix = Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 1

$name = Get-CimInstance -Classname Win32_ComputerSystem

write-host “Server $($name.name) Domain $($name.domain)”

write-host “Last reboot $($boot.LastBootUpTime)”

write-host “Last patch $($hotfix.HotFixID) $($hotfix.InstalledOn)”
