PowerShell script to copy file from a number of remote PC's

Technically, if computers belong to the same domain, and if computers are started and accessible, it is not very complicated using a domain admin account.
Now, in your script, you have to manage stopped/inaccessible computers and that is a little more complicated.

The list of 100 computers can come from a single txt file, or from a request in the domain.
What is your situation?

Good evening, yes single domain and have domain admin. I can put the computers in a txt file and it can the be called as a var.

Many thanks

Here is a sample of script
The first line must be selected according to AD or Text file choice (One name by file)

#$x=get-adcomputer -filter * -SearchBase "OU=LAPTOPS,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM"
$x=get-content .\computers.txt


# create/clear a file
Echo "" >allContentFiles.txt


foreach ($i in $x){
  $n=$i
#  $n=$i.name (if computername comes from AD)
  ECHO $n >>allContentFiles.txt
  TYPE "\\$n\c$\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Connections_incoming.txt"  >>AllContentFiles.txt
}

Select allOpen in new window

Hi im getting the following error

Echo.>allContentFiles.txt : The term 'Echo.>allContentFiles.txt' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I believe the . is a typo in Echo.>allContentFiles.txt 

Hi Andrew any pointers please.

No, the dot is not a typo!

If you don't put a point, you have a space in the file.

With the point, the file has a size of 0.

The line is now adapted to Powershell in the script !

Hi Thierry, do you have any other suggestions. When I run a get-content on a single machine on it works.

Get-Content -path "\\PC\c$\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Connections_incoming.txt"

I was thinking something like this, which works but not for multiple hosts within the file. I've also tried with | export-csv c:\users\user\documents\AllContentFiles.txt and still doesn't work.

 $computers = Get-Content -Path C:\users\user\documents\PCs.txt
 foreach ($computer in $computers)
 {
     Get-Content -path "\\$computers\c$\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Connections_incoming.txt"
 }

You made a little mistake inside the loop.

Remove a "s" to the computer variable 

Hi Thierry it makes no difference. I've tried multiple iterations and still the same

What is happening with your script?
Can you try to use the command Type in place of get-content?
How have you entered names in the text file? One by line, without any space?

I believe the . is a typo in Echo.>allContentFiles.txt

Sorry, it was a remainder of a classical batch (CMD).

That can be replaced by :

Echo "" >allContentFiles.txt 

Hi Thierry, didn't work unfortunately
