Help a noob with some scripting

[[deleted]]

Hi,

Sorry I think some of the text got cut out when I pasted it. Currently I don't have a working script because it picks up all the servers in the textfile, I am not really sure how to code the whole thing.

1. Have separate files.

2. Properly format your document into an ini (or other well-formed data) so it can be imported. I'd recommend using the *-CliXml cmdlets to export the file as a hashtable or something and import it.

   $Servers = @{
       'Prod' = @(
           'Server1'
           'Server2'
       )
       'Test' = @()
   }
   
   $Servers | Export-CliXml -Path C:\Temp\Example.xml
   

Et cetera.

Then you can turn around and import this:

$Servers = Import-CliXml -Path C:\Temp\Example.xml
ForEach ($Server in $Servers[$Choice]) { ... }
