Encapsulate the output of invoke command in a variable - PowerShell
Generally for powershell to return something from a command\function, you want to produce any kind of output. So just "bla-bla" inside your code will return "bla-bla" to the caller. With that your case simplified:
$res = Invoke-Command -ComputerName "testpc.eil.local" -ScriptBlock {
(Get-WindowsFeature -Name "Remote-Desktop-Services").Installed
}
do something with $res here

I have a script that installs Remote Desktop Services on remote machines (from the DC).
I'm now at the phase where I check if RDS installed on the connection broker (server) and connection host (server).
I want to use invoke-command since a remote powershell session seemed too complicated.
This is the code I have:
$res = Invoke-Command -ComputerName "testpc.eil.local" -ScriptBlock { if((Get-WindowsFeature -Name "Remote-Desktop-Services").Installed -eq 1) { #i need this output (true or false or a string) } else { #i need this output (true or false or a string) } } Write-Host $res
But my question is, how do I encapsulate the output of the scriptblock in the invoke-command in a variable that the DC can access? I'm trying to write away if RDS is succesfully installed or failed to a log-file
How do we encapsulate the output of the function and pass it to the machine who's running it?
Thanks
