    From my p.c., I want to get the highest 10 cpu processes on multiple remote p.c.s.  I thought I could create a text file listing the remote p.c.s, then using a variable in my code, connect to those remote systems and return the values to my p.c.

    Can you suggest some code that I can use?

    Thanks!

    Hi Dirk,

    You can use the following commands to good effect:

    • Get-Content
      Reads a text file
    • Get-CimInstance Win32_Process
      Returns process information
    • Get-Help <CommandName> -Detailed
      Returns information on how to use a command, with examples and parameter explanation
    • Set-Content
      Writes output to a text-file
    • Export-Csv
      Writes Output to a csv-file

    Cheers,
    Fred

    Edit: Alternatively you may be able to find a finished script for this in the gallery.

    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

    Hi Dirk,

    I agree with FWN.

    Also, you could have a try with the following scripts. Hope it is helpful to you:
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName (Get-Content <Path>) -ScriptBlock {Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Select-Object PSComputerName,ProcessName,CPU -First 10} | Export-Csv <Path> -NoTypeInformation

    If you need further help, please feel free to let us know.
