Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to easily retrieve a list of all computer names on the network.

Hey, Scripting Guy! Question How can I use Windows PowerShell to obtain a list of all the servers on the network so I can run a
           script against them without typing a bunch of names?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the Get-ADComputer cmdlet from the Active Directory module
           (available via the Remote Server Administration Tools), for example:

(Get-ADComputer -Filter *).name

The "Scripting Guys" is a historical title passed from scripter to scripter. The current revision has morphed into our good friend Doctor Scripto who has been with us since the very beginning.
