Trying to create a custom object list? hash? - Unsure - powershell

Question

I'm trying trying to get two properties from two separate commands and add them to a variable to be able to further evaluate.
I was told a custom object would work...
Clear-Host
Add-PSSnapin citrix* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$DRSrvs = Get-XAServer drptsw00* | select -ExpandProperty servername
$hash = $null
$hash = #{}
foreach ($DR in $DRSrvs) {
$hash = New-Object PsObject -Property #{
servername = $DR
Logins = (Get-XALoadEvaluator -ServerName $DR).LoadEvaluatorName
}
}

Answer 1

A hashtable is for mapping (unique) keys to values. If you need to map different servernames to login names use a hashtable, otherwise use custom objects. Either way you need to handle the data structures correctly.
Hashtable:
$hash = #{}
foreach ($DR in $DRSrvs) {
$hash[$DR] = (Get-XALoadEvaluator -ServerName $DR).LoadEvaluatorName
}
Custom object list:
$list = foreach ($DR in $DRSrvs) {
New-Object PsObject -Property #{
servername = $DR
Logins = (Get-XALoadEvaluator -ServerName $DR).LoadEvaluatorName
}
}
Assigning something to a variable in a loop replaces the previous value in that variable with each iteration, leaving you with just the last value after the loop finishes.

I used this method and got a very clean output. Citrix SDK for Powershell if very funny and has lots of gotchas.
Clear-Host
Add-PSSnapin citrix* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$OutputData = $null
$OutputData = #()
$Srvs = Get-XAServer Srv123* | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ServerName
$object = New-Object PSObject
Add-Member -InputObject $object -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Servername -Value ""
Add-Member -InputObject $object -MemberType NoteProperty -Name LoadEval -Value ""
foreach ($Srv in $Srvs) {
$servername= $Srv
$LoadEval = ((Get-XALoadEvaluator -ServerName $Srv).LoadEvaluatorName)
$appObject = New-Object System.Object
$appObject |
Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "ServerName" -Value $servername -PassThru |
Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "LoadEval" -Value $LoadEval
$outputData += $appObject
}
