Context: Not sure if a service or a Port or a Service is successfully running on a remote machine.
Resolution: Use Test-NetConnection in Powershell to test port
While Nmap is an option, Test-NetConnection comes native with powershell on a windows computer.
Command structure:
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName <hostname_or_ipaddress> -Port <port>
This will ping and also return if the port is open, or not.
Example successful and failed outputs.
