The following is a powershell script to list all devices on the network. It will list the name ipaddress and whether it is online or offline. It uses a file called c:\machinelist.txt. This file contains a list of all machine names on the network. I hope this might help those with limited network experience.
Note the output spacing is off some spaces have been removed
