PowerShell Send all resullts to one file

I am trying to write a simple Powershell script which I can run to query the environment and look for the presence of a directory

Here is what I am looking for as as example:

$env:COMPUTERNAME ; Test-Path c:\users ;get-date

I would like all results display on the powershell console and append to a file the with each workstation result listed on one line each

Something like that, or what is it exactly you're planning to do?

"$($ENV:ComputerName);$(Test-Path C:\Users);$(Get-Date)" >>"\\SomeServer\SomeShare\SomeFile.txt"

Thanks so much...

I understand the get-content is for the text file list all devices but I am confused as to the first two lines

$Share is the share under which the path is when accessed remotely; for C:\Users, that would be the administrative share C$.
$Path is the path to test against under that share.
A simple
Test-Path "\\$_\C`$\Users"
would lead to false negatives if the machine is turned off or otherwise not accessible.

Nope; as I said, just the regular admin shares. No remoting involved.
