does not work;

Lets use another example

Lets say Systernal "pskill" is locate under the c:\tools\    This path is located on all DC's

And I have notepad running on all DC"s and I want to use pskill to kill this process.  How would I be able to do it using Get-ADDomaincontrollers
Subash SundharanIT Infrastructure Architect Commented:
pskill can be used to remotely kill the processes.

See the example below..
Import-Module Activedirectory
Get-ADDomainController -Filter * | %{
	& 'C:\Tools\pskill.exe' "\\$($_.name)" notepad
}

Open in new window

Pskill.exe should be there in the specified path where you run the script.
