# Test-OSDCoreOperatingSystemCloudObject

Tests whether an OSDCore operating system object URL is reachable.

| Property | Value                 |
| -------- | --------------------- |
| Module   | OSD                   |
| Platform | WinPE (amd64 / arm64) |

## Description

Reads the Url property from the supplied operating system object, or from $global:OSDCoreOperatingSystemCloudObject when no object is supplied, and returns $true when a live TCP connection and HTTP HEAD request can reach it. Returns $false when the object is missing, the Url property is empty, or the URL test fails. HTTP and HTTPS are both tested for host-only web URLs so systems with an invalid date can still detect basic network reachability over HTTP. Specific absolute file URLs are tested exactly as supplied.

## Syntax

```powershell
Test-OSDCoreOperatingSystemCloudObject [[-OperatingSystemCloudObject] <PSObject>]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Parameters

| Parameter                     | Type       | Required | Description                                                |
| ----------------------------- | ---------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-OperatingSystemCloudObject` | `PSObject` | False    | Operating system object containing a Url property to test. |

## Examples

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.osdeploy.com/powershell-modules/osd/test-osdcoreoperatingsystemcloudobject.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
