GWMI - Find out if Domain Controllers are physical or virtual via script

Question

I have tried to create a script for extracting but the output is not quite I desired.

$Servers = Get-ADDomainController -Filter * | Select-Object Name foreach($server in $servers) { $compsystem = gwmi -q "Select * from win32_computersystem" | Select Model write-output $Server is $compsystem" } 

The output is something like :

@{Name=ServerName} is @{Model=Proliant DL360 G6}

The servername is different but the Model is the same so i think it's in a continous loop after the first servers.

Any ideeas ?

Thank you,

You are never using the variable $server, so all your output is from the local machine you are running the script on. To run the command on the actual servers you can use Invoke-Command:

$servers |Foreach-Object { $compsystem = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $_.name -ScriptBlock { gwmi -q "Select * from win32_computersystem" } Write-Host ("{0} is {1}" -f $_.Name,$compsystem.Model) }
