  remove the "Format-Table" part from the pipeline. That is only used for viewing in the console and will screw up stuff that comes after it.

One fix: the format and out need to follow the pipeline of the outer Foreach-Object:

$searchOU='ou=Servers,dc=mydomain,dc=NET'

Get-ADComputer -filter * -SearchBase $searchOU | 

  Foreach-Object {

    $server = $_.Name

    ([ADSI]"WinNT://$($_.Name)/Administrators").psbase.invoke('Members') | 

      ForEach-Object {

            $user = $_.GetType().InvokeMember('Name', 'GetProperty', $null, $_, $null)



            New-Object 'PSObject' -property @{'Server'=$server; 'Admin'=$user}

       }

 } | Format-Table -AutoSize Server, Name | Out-File C:Scriptsservers.txt

Second: the error is coming from the ADSI Invoke call, probably unable to resolve the machine name.

  I hate to say it, but adding the Out-file line as in the above script does not work for me or PowerShell. when adding the Out-File path it writes the error already posted, which is my problem when adding the Out-file path.

  I suggest lots of Write-Debug and setting $DebugPreference to Continue to check things like the path passed to ADSI. (I think outputing to the host is likely hiding the error: scrolling off the top: using AutoSize means all the data needs to be read first so any errors will be before any output.)

  And how exactly will the Write-Debug and DebugPreference be added to the script? I guess that $DebugPreference is a variable that you put something in, perhaps the ADSI path itself?

  You mentioned that errors would be shown before any output because of the Autosize. Does that mean that it trie to contact the server and if not successful then it will write the error output first and the server it tried to reach, beneath the error output? like this: Server-path not available and next line "Server 31" or will Server 31 be on the line above the error log in PowerShell?
