PowerShell 3 and later
Provided you have PowerShell remoting up and running on two servers, here is a simple script that illustrates how you can get the state of all services from each server and then calculate the differences between the two servers.
$Server1 = 'myServer1' $Server2 = 'someOtherServer' $services1 = Invoke-Command { Get-Service } -ComputerName $Server1 | Sort-Object -Property Name, Status $services2 = Invoke-Command { Get-Service } -ComputerName $Server2 | Sort-Object -Property Name, Status Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $services1 -DifferenceObject $services2 -Property Name, Status -PassThru | Sort-Object -Property Name
The result is a list with only the differences in service configuration.
