Powershell - Export csv for program name, version, installdate - powershell

Question

im trying to run a command against a list of computers to find out information on the programs on the computers. then i would like to export that information on a Csv in the following format:
Computer name, McAfee Agent, version, Installdate
i wanted to get the list of these computers and the programs version numbers and installdate.
this command works, but not for exporting:
Get-WmiObject win32_product -ComputerName SYSTEMName01 | Where name -Match "McAfee Agent" | Select Name, Version, Installdate
I tried using the following code here, but this isn't working because it populates the information in Powershell then gives me a:
"RPC server is unavailable" red text.
and the Exported CSV document only gives me one populated row of the Name of the program and its version # and install date. but it doesn't populate the computer name it looked into and it doesn't list the other computers in the .txt document.
$computers = Get-content -Path "C:\nice\List-of-systems.txt"
Get-WmiObject win32_product -ComputerName $computers | Where name -Match "McAfee Agent" | Select Name, Version, Installdate |
Export-Csv -Path "C:\nice\computers-mcafee-status.csv"

If you're gonna go through the trouble of just querying single information, might as well query the system info a long with it.

The issue with what you're trying to do is, you're not including the computername to be exported along with the other information. You also need to -Append to the file. The errors you receive mean that you just couldn't connect to the remote machine.
