Using Try Catch command to execute Powershell command remotely and then fallback with native command when failed?

Question

I\'m trying to compile the script to manually connect to each server and then perform the Powershell command remotely, and if the Powershell module is not found, then failback t

When running Invoke-Command against remote sessions, local variables from the calling session are not defined in the remote sessions. You either need to pass in those variables as arguments to a script block or use the using: scope modifier. The syntax is $using:variable.

In your case, the local variable is $_. So you would need to use $using:_.

Write-Host "Processing Server ... $($using:_) using DFSR Powershell Module" -ForegroundColor Yellow

Keep in mind that the using: scope modifier only reads variables and does not allow writes.
