Script to pull remote HD serial numbers using computer names

Question

_{Friday, August 16, 2013 5:03 AM}

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to create a script that pulls remote computer names from a OU and then takes those computer names and uses them to pull Hard Drive serial numbers for those computers. Below is what I have come up with but every time I run the script I get RPC unavailable error. Its not the RPC because if I manually do one computer name at a time using the attached script, I can pull the serial number. But if try to run using the array variable...the RPC error shows up. Looking for some help please.
