This gets only names that are in the second file, but not in the first.
If you want names as well that appear only in the first file, but not in the second, just remove the line "Where-Object ..."

$outFile = 'C:\Temp\diff.csv'
$reference = Get-Content -Path 'C:\Temp\Servers1.csv'
$difference = Get-Content -Path 'C:\Temp\Servers2.csv'
Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $reference -DifferenceObject $difference |
	Where-Object {$_.SideIndicator -eq '=>'} |
	Select-Object -ExpandProperty InputObject |
	Set-Content -Path $outFile
