How do I get the server name in Format-Table? - powershell

Question

This is probably a version issue, but I simply need to get the server name into the Format-Table PowerShell command.
$compArray = Get-Content C:\Users\Me\Documents\ServerList_All.txt
$Proc = foreach ($strComputer in $compArray) {
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service | Where-Object {
$_.Name -like 'SQL*' -or
$_.Name -like 'MSSQL*' -or
$_.Name -like 'OLAP*' -or
$_.Name -like 'MSDTS*' -or
$_.Name -like 'MSOLAP*' -or
$_.Name -like 'ReportServer*'
} | Sort-Object -Property Name | Format-Table $strComputer, Name, State
}
$Proc | Out-File C:\Users\ME\Documents\ServerStatus_All.txt
This works in PS v2:
| Sort-Object -Property Name | Format-Table Name, State
This does not, but does work in PS v3:
| Sort-Object -Property Name | Format-Table $strComputer, Name, State
Error:
Format-Table : Cannot convert System.Management.Automation.PSObject to one of the following types {System.String, System.Management.Automation.ScriptBlock}.
The only difference is the $strComputer variable. I am reading from a text file, and everything is beautiful in v3+.
No, I cannot upgrade to a newer PS version on the server I am running this from, sadly.

This should work for you in both...
$compArray = (Get-ADComputer -Filter *).Name
$Proc = foreach ($strComputer in $compArray) {
Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_Service -ComputerName $strComputer |
Where-Object {
$_.Name -like 'SQL*' -or
$_.Name -like 'MSSQL*' -or
$_.Name -like 'OLAP*' -or
$_.Name -like 'MSDTS*' -or
$_.Name -like 'MSOLAP*' -or
$_.Name -like 'ReportServer*'
} |
Select-Object -Property #{Name = 'Computer';Expression={$strComputer}}, Name, State |
Sort-Object -Property Name |
Format-Table -AutoSize
}
$Proc
