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.<br>Now, in your script, you have to manage stopped/inaccessible computers and that is a little more complicated.<br><br>The list of 100 computers can come from a single txt file, or from a request in the domain.<br>What is your situation?

<div>
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. <br><br>Many thanks

Here is a sample of script<br>The first line must be selected according to AD or Text file choice (One name by file)<br><pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-43297420-1"><span>#$x=get-adcomputer -filter * -SearchBase "OU=LAPTOPS,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM"</span>

Hi im getting the following error<br><br>Echo.&gt;allContentFiles.txt : The term 'Echo.&gt;allContentFiles.txt' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the<br>spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
</div>


<div>
I believe the . is a typo in Echo<strong>.</strong>&gt;allContentFiles.txt&nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Hi Andrew any pointers please.
</div>


<div>
No, the dot is not a typo!<br><br>If you don't put a point, you have a space in the file.<br><br>With the point, the file has a size of 0.<br><br>The line is now adapted to Powershell in the script !
</div>


<div>
Hi Thierry, do you have any other suggestions. When I run a get-content on a single machine on it works.<br><br>Get-Content -path "\\PC\c$\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Connections_incoming.txt"
</div>


<div>
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.<br><br>&nbsp;$computers = Get-Content -Path C:\users\user\documents\PCs.txt<br>&nbsp;foreach ($computer in $computers)<br>&nbsp;{<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Get-Content -path "\\$computers\c$\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Connections_incoming.txt" <br>&nbsp;}
</div>


<div>
You made a little mistake inside the loop. <br><br>Remove a "s" to the computer variable&nbsp;
</div>


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


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


<div>
<blockquote>I believe the . is a typo in Echo<strong>.</strong>&gt;allContentFiles.txt</blockquote>Sorry, it was a remainder of a classical batch (CMD).<br><br>That can be replaced by :<br><br>Echo "" &gt;allContentFiles.txt&nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Hi Thierry, didn't work unfortunately&nbsp;

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

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.

Powershell

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
