Powershell utility to test remote port using a custom source address from your computer.
If you have multiple ip addresses assigned on your computer the Test-Netconnection utility does not allow you to test the connection to a remote computer using one of those addresses.
The script below addresses that drawback.
#Usage: .\Test-Connect.ps1 -computername 10.10.10.10 -RemotePort 389 -sourceipAddress 123.23.10.5
param([string]$computername,[string]$RemotePort,[string]$sourceipAddress)
$destHostName = $computername
$destPort = $RemotePort
$src = [System.Net.IPEndPoint]::new([ipaddress]::Parse($sourceipAddress),0)
$tc = [System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient]::new($src)
$tc.Connect($destHostName,$destPort)
if ($tc.Connected) {
"Connected!"
} else {
"Not connected"
}
$tc.Dispose()
