How to get Status of Servers in SharePoint Farm

Question

Please see this screenshot for reference

When I say Status, I mean according to the above screenshot. Is it possible to get the status of each of the servers like this using Powershell or some other utility which can be scripted?

Thanks!

If you mean to check if the servers need to be upgraded after a patch were applied?

$spprod = Get-SPProduct
$spprod.Servers | select ServerName, Products, InstallStatus

This will give you the status for each server in your farm. If any patch are missing or a server needs to be upgraded, you can track down what patch are missing by running:

$spprod.Servers | ? { $_.InstallStatus -eq "InstallRequired" } | % { $_.RequiredButMissingPatches }
