What do you have to change to query remote machines?

What do you have to change to query remote machines?

I was curious about this as well. I have a txt file with all my machines in it and I would love to run this against

Just pass a computer name or list of computer names to the ComputerName parameter.

Suggest changing catch to the following so it deals with failed wirm connections with tidier output. Thanks for the script.

` Catch

        {

            Write-host "Failed connection to $computer" -ForegroundColor Yellow
            Write-Verbose $_ 
        }`
