Help with iControl cmdlets to check Session status

Hello all,

 

This seems like a fairly easy task, but my scripting skills are unfortunately not up to par. What I am trying to do is have a Powershell script in VSTS that will basically take a pool member out, check that the "Session" is in "user-disabled", then proceed to deploy the site.

 

For some reason this site thinks my post is spam, so I'm trying to post without the code block.

    Looks like I was able to post, so here is the rest of my post:

    Here is the output you get with the get-poolmember cmdlet:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-PoolMember -Address 10.10.10.10

Name                 Partition            Address              Description          Monitor              Session             State              
----                 ---------            -------              -----------          -------              -------             -----              
10.10.10.10:443     Common               10.10.10.10                                default              monitor-enabled     up

    Here is what I currently have for the script:

    $VerbosePreference = 'Continue'

[Int]$MaxRetries = 20

$RetryCount = 0; $Completed = $false

while (-not $Completed) {
    if ($Node.Session -ne 'monitor-enabled') {
        Write-Verbose "The pool member is disabled"
        $Completed = $true
    }
    else {
        if ($RetryCount -ge $MaxRetries) {
            Write-Verbose "Failed to disable pool member within '$MaxRetries' retries"
            throw "Failed to disable pool member within '$MaxRetries' retries"
        } else {
            Write-Verbose "site still online, retrying in 5 seconds."
            Start-Sleep '5'
            $RetryCount++
        }
    }
}

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
