Get-WmiObject to combine to outputs - powershell

Question

I was executing below script to obtain the server patch version of Skype for business servers.
I need the output as server patch name, version and computername.
$x = Get-Content "E:\temp\servers.txt"
foreach ($y in $x)
{
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $y -scriptblock {Get-WmiObject -query ‘select name, version from win32_product’ | where {$_.name -like “*Skype for Business server 2015, core*”}} | Select-object name, Version, #{Name='ComputerName';Expression={$y}} | ft -AutoSize
}
But I am receiving output as below
Name Version ComputerName
---- ------- ------------
Skype for Business Server 2015, Core Components 6.0.9319.598 D221412xxxxxx
Name Version ComputerName
---- ------- ------------
Skype for Business Server 2015, Core Components 6.0.9319.598 D221412xxxxxxxx
Name Version ComputerName
---- ------- ------------
Skype for Business Server 2015, Core Components 6.0.9319.598 D221412xxxxxx
Name Version ComputerName
---- ------- ------------
Skype for Business Server 2015, Core Components 6.0.9319.598 D221412xxxxxxx
Name Version ComputerName
---- ------- ------------
Skype for Business Server 2015, Core Components 6.0.9319.598 D221412xxxxxx
I don't need my header tiles in every line of output. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You are getting headers for each computer because the select
statement is inside the foreach loop.
Invoke-command accepts multiple
computers so you dont need a foreach loop.
use server-side filtering
where possible.
$x = Get-Content "E:\temp\servers.txt"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $x -scriptblock {Get-WmiObject -query "select name, version from win32_product where name like 'Skype for Business server 2015, Core%'"} |
Select-object PSComputerName,name, Version
For future:
Use Get-CimInstance because Get-wmiobject is deprecated.
Do not use win32_product because it can potentially lead to msi corruption. Use
the registry instead.
