Today I published a custom class for users of PowerShell 5 that allows you to ping multiple computers very quickly using a custom PS object.  It uses .Net runspaces to create a parallel processing environment to ensure speedy execution, and stores useful information about the ping results in the custom object, such as:

• The full “Test-Connection” results
• The list of online machines
• The list of offline machines
• The count and percentage of online and offline machines
• The execution time of the command
