get-content issue

Basic powershell question here - I have two computers in the c:\temp\servers.txt file and want to query the tcpip.sys file version info. I keep on getting an error but it also seems to work....

PS C:\Windows\System32\drivers> Get-Content C:\temp\servers.txt | ForEach-Object (Get-ChildItem c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys).Versioninfo

I get the below error:

ForEach-Object :> Cannot bind parameter 'Process'. Cannot convert the "File:

C:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys InternalName: tcpip.sys OriginalFilename: tcpip.sys.mui FileVersion: 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255) FileDescription: TCP/IP Driv开发者_JAVA技巧er Product:

You need to construct a UNC path to each each server:

Get-Content C:\temp\servers.txt | ForEach-Object {
    (Get-ChildItem \\$_\c$\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys).Versioninfo 
}

You also need to use braces, not parenthesis, that's why you the error.
