Outputfile="c:\Heartbeat\Status.txt"

Set ifile = iFSO.OpenTextFile(inputfile)
Set ofile = ofso.createTextFile(OutputFile, True)

Do until ifile.AtEndOfLine
servicelist= ifile.ReadLine
strcomputer=left(servicelist,instr(servicelist,",")-1)
Service =right(servicelist,len(servicelist)-instr(servicelist,","))
ofile.writeline Now()
ofile.writeline "ServerName: " & strcomputer
ofile.writeline "ServiceName: " & Service

Set objWMIService =nothing
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

if err.number<>0 then
ofile.writeline "Error: " & err.number
ofile.writeline "Error: " & err.description
else

Set colItems = nothing
query=""
query = "Select * from Win32_Service where name = '" & Service & "'"
'msgbox query
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(query,,48)
if err.number<>0 then
ofile.writeline "Error: " & err.number
ofile.writeline "Error: " & err.description
else
For Each objItem in colItems
ofile.writeline "Status: " & objItem.Status
ofile.writeline "State: " & objItem.State
