How to provide unique credentials for Set-Content calls - powershell

Question

I have a powershell script that simply updates a file on a couple different webservers. Each of these web servers have different local credentials that I need to provide in order to access the file in question. How can I update my script to allow for this?
#message
$statusMessage = "hello world"
#servers to update
$servers = #("1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2")
#update files
foreach ($server in $servers) {
Set-Content -Path "\\$server\c$\blah\foo.htm" -Value $statusMessage
}
Again, each server has it's own local Admin credentials that I need to use.

Answer 1

One way to do this, if you really are forced to use local accounts (avoiding this problem is one of the purposes of having a domain), is to authenticate on the server using net use, copy the file, then disconnect. Example:
$userName = Read-Host "Enter user name for computer1"
net use \\computer1\ipc$ /user:$userName *
Set-Content \\computer1\c$\whatever\file.htm "Content here"
net use \\computer1\ipc$ /delete
Of course you can generalize the computer name within the loop. In this example, you will have to manually enter the user name and password for each computer.

Answer 2

Since the -Credential parameter of Set-Content doesn't seem to actually work (as Bill_Stewart pointed out) you basically have 3 options AFAICS:
Use net use to authenticate a session as Bill suggested in his answer, then write to the UNC path.
Map a network drive, either via net use or the PoSh way:
$username = 'Administrator'
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'password' -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential ($username, $password)
$drive = New-PSDrive -Name X -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\$server\c$\blah" -Persist -Credential $cred
Set-Content -Path 'X:\foo.htm' -Value $statusMessage
$drive | Remove-PSDrive
Run Set-Content on the remote server and have it write to a local path.
$username = 'Administrator'
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'password' -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential ($username, $password)
Invoke-Command -Computer $server -ScriptBlock {
Param($msg)
Set-Content -Path C:\blah\foo.html -Value $msg
} -ArgumentList $statusMessage -Credential $cred
For both PowerShell approaches you'll have to prepare a PSCredential object as shown above, or just pass the username (in which case you'll be prompted for the password).
