Ping a server repeatdely every minute

I need a powershell script that will excute a ping command to a specific server with an adjustable time window . Like for example I may want to increase the window to ping every 1 minute or 5 minutes. The script will run froma task sequence using windows task manager .

It needs to be a powershell script so that I can have consistency if I need to do it on more servers . Please help

The original question is for a PowerShell script that pings a specific server with an adjustable time window. A follow-on question is how to specify the server. I selected two posts that answer those questions as the Accepted Solution and an Assisted Solution, and gave them the lion's share of the points. But another post presented an interesting caveat about such an approach and is worthy of some points as an Assisted Solution.
