Get ad computers using powershell

Question

I'm using below statement to get server lists from AD using windows server filter. I've two different domain "abc.com" and another "anil.abc.com". I've an access to read information from both the domains, when i run the script i get data only from the "abc.com" , but cannot get the server lists from "anil.abc.com". Can you please help what i can use to get a data from both using a single script ? Thanks in advance.

My script

$ScriptPath = Get-Location
Get-ADComputer -Filter {(OperatingSystem -like "windowsserver*") -and (Enabled -eq "True")} -Properties * | SORT Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File $ScriptPath\ServerListNames.txt

Hi @Anonymous ,
Let's give it another try please:

 $ScriptPath = Get-Location  
 Get-ADComputer -Filter {(OperatingSystem -like "windows*server") -and (Enabled -eq "True")} -Properties * | SORT Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File $ScriptPath\ServerListNames.txt  
 Get-ADComputer -Server <yourDC of anil.abc.com> -Filter {(OperatingSystem -like "windows*server") -and (Enabled -eq "True")} -Properties * | SORT Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File $ScriptPath\ServerListNames.txt -Append
