P.S.
If this is in a windows server 2008 R2 environment, use directly the Powershell cluster cmdletts

On a server that is part of a cluster can you run the following in powershell?
get-wmiobject -class "MSCluster_Cluster" -namespace "root\cluster"
get-wmiobject -class "MSCluster_Cluster" -namespace "root\cluster"

Already done, I want to test if the server is a clustered or not. If I execute the script and the server is not a cluster, the error occurs :
Get-WmiObject : Invalid namespace
At line:3 char:23
+ $cluster=get-wmiobject <<<< -class "MSCluster_Cluster" -namespace "root\mscluster" -computername "$mach_name" | select -ExpandProperty Name

The exception thrown is not caught by the Try/Catch, since it is not a "terminating error". You can tell tell PowerShell to treat it as a terminating error by adding -ErrorAction Stop
Try this..
Try this..
try
{
$cluster=get-wmiobject -class "MSCluster_Cluster" -namespace "root\mscluster" -computername "$mach_name" -ErrorAction Stop | select -ExpandProperty Name
}
catch [Exception]
{
echo "$cluster" | out-file $LOG_FILE -ErrorVariable ERR1 -encoding "default" -append -ErrorAction silentlycontinue
}
