Answer 1

here is my script

You forgot to include your script.

$servers = Get-Content c:\temp\servers.txt
foreach ($srv in $servers) {
    $out = "Something to display."
    "{0} - {1}" -f $out, $srv
} 

Answer 2

You didn't post your script, just what looks like some output. You also didn't specify what $servers contains (e.g. server names, contents of some program output, etc).

Just completely taking a guess that you are getting a list of servers from some file, then calling some PS function to get the status of spooler on that server using something like Get-Service. You want to combine these into a table output. The key is how you're getting the service status. Get-Service in PS 5 can be used but PS Core removed support for remote computers.

$servers = Get-Content 'c:\temp\servers.txt'
Get-Service -ComputerName $servers -Name spooler | Select-Object -Property Status, Name, DisplayName, MachineName

Hi @Christopher Ellis ,

this is the third time you asked the same question within the last days. Your second time question is deleted now.
But the first time question with an answer is still there: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/466305/how-do-i-add-the-servers-queried-in-4th-colunmn-wh.html

I don't see the reason why repeating the same question again and again is helpful.
