We want to stay with the common naming conventions, Jose, and the asker correctly asked for a parameter ComputerName, &nbsp;so $remoteserver should be replaced by $ComputerName. 
Also the process technique is oversized here, and even counterproductive as it will not allow proper pipeline processing of the result. 
 
I think a much simpler approach is much better here 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42996693-1">function Get-CPU ([String] $ComputerName = $env:ComputerName)
{
 Get-WmiObject -computername $ComputerName win32_processor | Measure-Object -property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average
}
</code></pre>
</div>

I agree that is much better &nbsp;- and contains the respective computername in the output, which is missing from the former suggestions ;-).

I have a one-liner I need to turn into a function so that I can run against any machine on my AD domain/network. For example, instead of modifying the computername parameter and running the line can I execute something like: 
 
Get-CPU -computername MYREMOTESERVER 
 
Get-WmiObject -computername MYREMOTESERVER win32_processor | Measure-Object -property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average 
 
Thank you in advance

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.
