How to verify .NET version from remote list using Powershell

Question

_{Wednesday, August 22, 2018 6:53 PM}

I'm trying to get a simple yes/no answer from a list of servers I've put on a text file. I need to know if they are running a specific version of .NET. The results I keep getting are from the local box I'm running the script from rather than the remote servers I'm trying to connect to. Anyone know how to fix this? Here's what I have so far:

#

#

#

$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"

$computers = Get-Content -Path D:\Scripts\Windows\serverlist.txt

foreach ($computer in $computers){

  $val = Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full' -Name "Release"

  if ($val.Release) {
    if ($val.Release -eq 379893 ) {
      Write-Host "$computer=yes"
    } else {
      Write-Host "$computer=no"
    }
  } else {
    Write-Host "$computer=NotInstalled"
  }
}

Here comes the Power of PowerShell remoting.

Whatever works locally, works remotely(with few exceptions)

$Output = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Computers -Scriptblock {
$val = Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full' -Name "Release"

  if ($val.Release) {
    if ($val.Release -eq 379893 ) {
      $hash = @{status = "yes" }
    } else {
      $hash = @{status = "yes" }
    }
  } else {
      $hash = @{status = "notinstalled" }
  }
New-Object -typename psobject -property $hash
}

$Output

I suggest you to read this doc about remoting.
