I'm having a bit of trouble with my powershell script
I can't seem to get option 5 of the script working, I also need a little help with option 4
Option 4 is suppose to ask the user an IP address to ping and then create a popup with the address that the ping was sent to and the hostname of the computer that responds.
I have it so that it will ping a range of addresses and respond with the address and hostname of computers that respond to the ping but can't figure out how to get the popup working and only ping and output the hostname of the computer the responds
Option 5 throws an error when I try to run it. It works just fine if I run it as a stand alone script...
This is for a mid term so if you just want to give some pointers that would be great.
