Recently we had a need to find the versions of HP iLO on all our servers. Finding out through SIM can be challenging so we could log onto each server which was unappealing. I did some searches and could only find a script for scanning based on BASH so I thought I would give it a go in PowerShell. I am sure there are ways to tighten it up but it was fun to do.
I've only run it in PowerShell v2 and it requires the BSonPosh module.
For the web/xml extracting part I found this thread useful.
Things to do would be to use Test-Port to test each IP address for 17988 and limit the addresses of the subnet to that. In our environment we have subnets dedicated iLO so I didn't worry to much about the errors. I have no idea when I will get to that and this was a quick and dirty way to get the information we needed.
