If you use Invoke-Command to remotely execute PowerShell code, you may have noticed that PowerShell remoting adds a new PSComputerName property that tells you where the data came from.
This sample would retrieve the list of processes from a machine called dc-01. The PSComputerName property reports the source computer name which is especially useful if you specify more than one computer.
#requires -Version 2 $code = { Get-Process } Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $code -ComputerName dc-01
However, if you pipe the results to Out-GridView, the PSComputerName property dissapears.
As a workaround, when you send the results to Select-Object, the PSComputerName property will show up correctly in the grid view Window:
#requires -Version 2 $code = { Get-Process | Select-Object -Property Name, ID, Handles, CPU } Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $code -ComputerName dc-01 | Out-GridView
