The following PowerShell script recipe will help you delete a remote file based on a list of computers stored in a text file. New PowerShell function will be created during the session which will be piped from the text file.
Generate C:\Scripts\Active_Computers.txt with computer names.
[PowerShell]
function delete-remotefile {
PROCESS {
$file = "\\$_\c$\install.exe"
if (test-path $file)
{
echo "$_ install.exe exists"
Remove-Item $file -force
echo "$_ install.exe file deleted"
}
}
}
Get-Content C:\Scripts\Active_Computers.txt | delete-remotefile

PowerShell: How to check list of computers for a specific remote file ?
Jan 31st
The following PowerShell script recipe will help you check a remote file based on a list of computers stored in a text file. A new PowerShell function will be created during the session which will be piped from the text file.
In the following PowerShell example I will check if install.exe exists on the remote systems and echo the computername if the file is there.
Create new text file named C:\Scripts\Active_Computers.txt and populate the file with computer names.
[PowerShell]
function check-remotefile {
PROCESS {
$file = "\\$_\c$\install.exe"
if (test-path $file)
{
echo "$_ file install.exe exists"
}
}
}
Get-Content C:\Scripts\Active_Computers.txt | check-remotefile
[PowerShell]
