Checking installed Patches remotely - How direct this script to other servers?

Question
-
Hello,
I have a script I received from other admins a while back, used to pull patch installs from the Microsoft Update Session. This script is preferred because of the details provides about the patches.
Does anyone know how I can direct this script to other server(s) on my network? This would be the most important part as it would save time from logging into each server manually.
Lastly, can a range of dates be proved for patches installed? Important, but not near as important as trying to get the script to check remote servers.
From what little I know of PowerShell , I've tried to use a list for it to access for other serves as I've done with other scripts, but couldn't figure out how to do it with this script.
The original script is below.
======================================
$Session = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.Session" $Searcher = $Session.CreateUpdateSearcher() $historyCount = $Searcher.GetTotalHistoryCount() $Searcher.QueryHistory(0, $historyCount) | Select-Object Date, @{name="Operation"; expression={switch($_.operation){ 1 {"Installation"}; 2 {"Uninstallation"}; 3 {"Other"}}}}, @{name="Status"; expression={switch($_.resultcode){ 1 {"In Progress"}; 2 {"Succeeded"}; 3 {"Succeeded With Errors"}; 4 {"Failed"}; 5 {"Aborted"} }}}, Title | Out-GridView

Here is a simple example:
$session = [activator]::CreateInstance([type]::GetTypeFromProgID('Microsoft.Update.Session',$pc)) $searcher = $session.CreateUpdateSearcher() $totalupdates = $searcher.GetTotalHistoryCount() $searcher.QueryHistory(0, $totalupdates)

Look in Gallery for scripts that can do this remotely.
