You should just be able to type the name of the BAT file if it is in a directory in your PATH. If it is in the current directory then preface it with ".\" as below.

.\foo.bat

~bp

netcmh

command line:

powershell.exe -noexit .\btw.bat

Hi,
Ok here is my scripts, the output is not the results which I'm looking for. The bat file contain only ping command.

$servers = get-content "F:\PowerShell_Myscripts\AllServers.txt"
@(ForEach ($server in $servers){
.\btw.bat
}) | Export-CSV "F:\PowerShell_Myscripts\result.csv" -notype
