1. Open Power Shell
2. copy and paste the following command
PS> Start-Transcript -path C:/Script/PingLog.txt -Append
-The Append flag is telling it to continue on if the file already exists, this isn’t necessary, and depends on how you would like to name/use the file.
3. Copy and paste the following command
Ping.exe -t google.com | ForEach {“{0} – {1}” -f (Get-Date),$_}
Ping.exe – powershell can use your CMD stuff just fine.
-t – a continuous ping. can go before or after our hostname/IP address.
google.com is what we’re pinging.
Next up is a pipe (|) – you’re sending information over to our next command.
Foreach is the next command.
[{0} – {1} -f] – This is the text formatting, check the references below if you’d like to learn more
(Get-Date) – is the date to date. it’s also what’s going into {0} in the text formatting above.
$_ – This is you taking your previous input from ping and putting into {1}
4. Then go to C: select Script folder and open PingLog.txt you should see your text file that’s recording your pings.
