Powershell Automation for Services - windows

Question

I have 100+ servers for which I have to check services. On almost 5 servers we have identical services. Each boxes contains min of 3 services.
I am importing content from the file I saved in a location. For Server name I am good. For Service I have saved like service_starting_name* in column under the file like below
AA*
BB*
CC*
Below is the code. Is this good idea for automation as per below code ?
$ServerName = Get-Content "Absolutepath"
$Service = Get-Content "Absolutepath"
foreach ($Server in $ServerName) {
write-host $($server)
Get-Service -ComputerName $Server $Service
}
Also , How can we do a better display like, without printing the service name ?
Suppose, In Server X , 5 services , so if all services are running just print all good on that server.
I tried using if conditions but as there are many services , it is printing multiple times because for for each loop .
Please suggest.

You can play around with various things..
For testing I use localhost, when you try:
Get-Service -ComputerName localhost -DisplayName *sophos*
You get:
(Get-Service -ComputerName localhost -DisplayName *sophos*).count
result 10
(Get-Service -ComputerName localhost -DisplayName *sophos*).Status -contains "stopped"
result True
So if you use:
if (!((Get-Service -ComputerName localhost -DisplayName *sophos*).Status -contains stopped)) { Write-Host "Localhost: All ok" }
Or:
if (!(Get-Service -ComputerName $server -DisplayName $Service | select status | where {$_.Status -like "Stopped"})) { Write-Host "$($Server): All OK" }
You can use various checks for services "stopping" or whatever..
The above are just to give you ideas!
Hope it helps.
