  Below is my code:

  $Servers = Get-Content "c:\myfolder\ServerList.txt"
  Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -force}
  
  
  ForEach ($Server in $Servers)
  {
      enable-psremoting -force
      $username = "my username"
      $password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "My passsword" -AsPlainText -force
      $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $username, $password
      Enter-PSSession -ComputerName $server -Credential $cred
      $hostn = hostname
  Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Server {($g | where-object {$_.status -eq "running"})| ft > C:\script\detailtest2_$hostn.txt}
  }

  This is closer but what is $g?

  $sb = {
  	$g | where-object { $_.status -eq 'running' }
  }
  Get-Content c:\sungard_files\ServerList.txt |
  	ForEach-Object{
  		Invoke-Command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock $sb 
  	} | 
  	Format-Table > C:\script\detailtest2_$hostn.txt

  
  

  We do not set-executionpolicy in the script.  It is set once by Group Policy or by an Admin.   If you area a Domain Admin then you won't need credentials.

  Hi Thanks for the reply

  No i don't have domain admin right 

  also I came across few machine where set execution policy as -Restricted instead of changing it manually i though to add that in the script.

  and the $g is variable which i defined as 

  Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Server {($g = Get-Service | where-object {$_.status -eq "running"})| ft > C:\script\detailtest2_$hostn.txt}

  Still the below error:-

  Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM cl
  ient cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if the machine name is valid and
   is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabl
  ed. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

  You need to learn PowerShell before trying to do such technical things:

  $sb = {
  	Get-Service | where-object { $_.status -eq 'running' }
  }
  Get-Content c:\sungard_files\ServerList.txt |
  	ForEach-Object{
  		Invoke-Command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock $sb
  	} |
  	Format-Table > C:\script\detailtest2_$hostn.txt
