_________________________________________
Good morning.
I make DataGridVew as in attachment. I want, if i select checkbox and after press Restart button, selected servers will be restart and information about time of lost ping will be fill at cell Start time (as job).
What i did:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1.     $PCs = $datagridviewResults.Rows | Where-Object { $_.Cells["Restart\Shutdown"].Value -eq "Yes" }  
2.     FOREACH ($i IN $PCs)
3.     {
4.         $pc = $i.Cells["ComputerName"].Value
5.         $start_time = $i.Cells["StartTime"]
6.         Restart-Computer $pc -Force
7.         Start-Job -ScriptBlock {
8.             FOR ($t -ne 1)
9.             {
10.                 IF (Test-Connection $args[0] -Quiet -eq $false)
11.                 {
12.                     $args[1].Value = "$(Get-Date -Format "HH:mm")"
13.                     $t = 1
14.                 }
15.             }
16.         } -ArgumentList $pc, $start_time
17. }

What i do wrong?

Hello,
No error, and not value at cell Start_time.
If i do not use job, but simple type:

$i.cells["start_time"].Value = "$(Get-Date -Format "HH:mm")"
Cell "Start Time" correct fill time. But this is not time lost ping. This is time at press button restart.
If i use all block without job:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1.              FOR ($t -ne 1)
2.             {
3.                 IF ((Test-Connection $pc -Quiet) -eq $false)
4.                 {
5.                     $Start_Time.Value = "$(Get-Date -Format "HH:mm")"
6.                     $t = 1
7.                 }
8.             }

Works correctly, but all form waiting then "For" will end.

You have to restart the computer with "-wait". It will tell you when the PC has finished its restart.
