Embed ForEach statement inside different ForEach on remote computer - powershell

Question

As always, new to powershell and trying to self-teach myself. Thank you all in advance:
We have a logon script that auto-sets the registry to OUR homepage. When we build computers, we put the logon script inside the C:\Users\Default\%Appdata%\roaming....\startup\ folder. That way any new user that logs on gets the bat file put into their %AppData% folder, and their homepage is auto set.
We recently built a new server and due to some issues, we need to change our homepage URL, therefore needing to change the logon.bat file on all the computers for all user profiles.
This script I found on here works perfectly, but only on the local computer it is running on:
$source = '\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\firstlogon.txt'
$profilesfolder = 'c:\users\'
$excluded_profiles = #( 'All Users', 'Default User', 'Default.migrated', 'Public', 'DefaultAppPool', 'cdwuser', '.NET v4.5 Classic', '.NET v4.5')
$profiles = get-childitem $profilesfolder -Directory -force | Where-Object { $_.BaseName -notin $excluded_profiles }
$targetfolder = "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
foreach ($profile in $profiles) {
$destination = $profilesfolder + $profile + $targetfolder
If ( $(Try { Test-Path $destination.trim() } Catch { $false }) ) {
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
Else {
New-Item -Path $destination -ItemType Directory
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
}
I have been trying to add the above ForEach statement INSIDE of a Get-Content | FOREACH($PC in $Computers){....} statement but get all these ODD issues and it only effects the local machine running the script on. For instance, taking every folder in my System32 folder and creating a user named whatever the System32 folder was named, then putting the logon.bat inside of all those %AppData% folders...
$source = '\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\firstlogon.txt'
$list = "\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\test.txt"
$computers = gc $list
foreach($pc in $computers){
$targetfolder = "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
$excluded_profiles = #( 'Administrator', 'All Users', 'Default User', 'Default.migrated', 'Public', 'DefaultAppPool', 'cdwuser', '.NET v4.5 Classic', '.NET v4.5')
$profiles = get-childitem $profilesfolder -Directory -force | Where-Object { $_.BaseName -notin $excluded_profiles }
$profilesfolder = 'c:\users\'
foreach ($profile in $profiles) {
$destination = $profilesfolder + $profile + $targetfolder
if ( $(Try { Test-Path $destination.trim() } Catch { $false }) ) {
#If folder Startup folder is found for profile, add file to destionation, force overwrite
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
Else {
#If folder is NOT found, create folder and move file to destination
New-Item -Path $destination -ItemType Directory
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
}
}
How do I combine the two scripts to:
For each computer in my list, look in all the user profiles and for each profile (excluding the ones mentioned) add the new logon.bat

Answer 1

If the script u have posted at the top works for you and as long as winrm is configured in ur environment, you can enclose it inside a scriptblock like below:
$scriptblock = {
$source = '\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\firstlogon.txt'
$profilesfolder = 'c:\users\'
$excluded_profiles = #( 'All Users', 'Default User', 'Default.migrated', 'Public', 'DefaultAppPool', 'cdwuser', '.NET v4.5 Classic', '.NET v4.5')
$profiles = get-childitem $profilesfolder -Directory -force | Where-Object { $_.BaseName -notin $excluded_profiles }
$targetfolder = "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
foreach ($profile in $profiles) {
$destination = $profilesfolder + $profile + $targetfolder
If ( $(Try { Test-Path $destination.trim() } Catch { $false }) ) {
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
Else {
New-Item -Path $destination -ItemType Directory
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
}
}
And then use ur foreach loop like so:
$list = "\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\test.txt"
$computers = gc $list
foreach($pc in $computers){
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $pc -ScriptBlock $scriptblock
}

Asked one of our principal programmers and he corrected my original script without needing to add a scipt block to it. Thank you for 1st suggestion!
Here is the final script that worked!
$source = '\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\firstlogon.bat'
$list = "\\ITE00463866\Applications\_Layer1_Installs\TS Sector\computers.txt"
$computers = gc $list
foreach($pc in $computers){
$targetfolder = "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
$excluded_profiles = #( 'Administrator', 'All Users', 'Default User', 'Default.migrated', 'Public', 'DefaultAppPool', 'cdwuser', '.NET v4.5 Classic', '.NET v4.5')
$profilesfolder = '\\' + $pc + '\c$\users\'
$profiles = get-childitem $profilesfolder -Directory -force | Where-Object { $_.BaseName -notin $excluded_profiles }
foreach ($profile in $profiles) {
$destination = $profilesfolder + $profile + $targetfolder
if ( $(Try { Test-Path $destination.trim() } Catch { $false }) ) {
#If folder Startup folder is found for profile, add file to destionation, force overwrite
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
Else {
#If folder is NOT found, create folder and move file to destination
New-Item -Path $destination -ItemType Directory
copy-item -path $source -destination $destination -Force -Verbose
}
}
}
