Powershell takes a list of servers and adds a "server" property

I want to combine data from two sources in an existing script.

I have one server list that is pulled through a Citrix command called Get-XAServer

. This cmdlet creates an array with two properties server

and logonmode

. The execution $1stList

looks like this:

SERVER  LOGONMODE
Server1 AllowLogOns
Server2 AllowLogOns

Now I want to update this list of servers that cannot be pulled using the cmdlet Get-XAServer

. So, inside the script, I just got an array variable that looks like this, but from a list of servers, which are in the following format:

$2ndList = "Server3", "Server4", "Server5"

The problem is that the property is server

not bound to the second list. So when I try to concatenate the arrays, they are not being handled as expected.

How do I iterate through the second list so that the properties server

and logonmode

are added to every / every server in the array $2ndList

?

You can use foreach

:

foreach ($server in $2ndlist) {
    $1stList += [pscustomobject]@{ 
        SERVER = $server
        LOGONMODE = ""
    }
}


Or a loop ForEach-Object

:

$2ndList | % {
    $1stList += [pscustomobject]@{ 
        SERVER = $_
        LOGONMODE = ""
    }
}
