ForEach – Remote Enumeration

[LIC]

#167697

This may seem remedial – but I struggle with PS. Specifically with remote management.
Need to enumerate (with size) profiles located on remote PCs
The following script works on the local

Local
(this returns the desired data on local)

[SIZE=11px]dir c:users|foreach-begin {} -process{
$size=(dir$_.FullName -recurse-force-easilentlycontinue|Measure-Object‘length’-sum-Maximum).sum
write-host(“{0:n2}”-f ($size/1MB) +” MB”,$_.fullname)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8px][SIZE=8px]} [/SIZE][/SIZE]

---

Attempting to adjust for remote use:
(This returns the directory name on local- no size)

$computers =Read-Host -Prompt ‘Input PC Name’
$computers | foreach {
Dir C:users}
$size=(dir $_.FullName -recurse -force -ea silentlycontinue | Measure-Object ‘length’ -sum -Maximum).sum
write-host(“{0:n2}” -f ($size/1MB) +” MB”,$_.fullname)

---

This returns remote directories – with no size

$computers =Read-Host -Prompt ‘Input PC Name’
foreach ($computer in $computers) {
dir “\$computerC$users”}
$size=(dir $_.FullName -recurse -force -ea silentlycontinue | Measure-Object ‘length’ -sum -Maximum).sum
write-host(“{0:n2}” -f ($size/1MB) +” MB”,$_.fullname)

As a side note- unable to output to file

Out-File -output path “C:tempout.txt”
Out-File “C:tempout.txt”
>

Have google extensively, however unable to get similar (or other) to work)

Thank you in advance
