I created the next script to inventory the installed software on my servers. The only thing you need to create is a text file with all your servers in it and save it to Servers.txt.

#Create a new Excel object using COM
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.visible = $True
$Excel.SheetsInNewWorkbook = @(get-content "C:\Scripts\PS\Servers.txt").count

#Counter variable for rows
$i = 1

#Read thru the contents of the Servers.txt file
foreach ($server in get-content "C:\Scripts\PS\Servers.txt")
{
    $Excel = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
    $Sheet = $Excel.Worksheets.Item($i++)
    $Sheet.Name = $server

    $intRow = 1

    # Send a ping to verify if the Server is online or not.
    $ping = Get-WmiObject `
    -query "SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address = '$server'"
       if ($Ping.StatusCode -eq 0) {

         #Create column headers
         $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1) = "NAME:"
         $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,2) = $server.ToUpper()
         $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1).Font.Bold = $True
         $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,2).Font.Bold = $True

         $intRow++

         $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1) = "APPLICATION"
         $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,2) = "VERSION"

             #Format the column headers
             for ($col = 1; $col –le 2; $col++)
             {
                  $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,$col).Font.Bold = $True
                  $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,$col).Interior.ColorIndex = 48
                  $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,$col).Font.ColorIndex = 34
             }

             $intRow++

             $software = Get-WmiObject `
             -ComputerName $server -Class Win32_Product | Sort-Object Name 

             #Formatting using Excel

             foreach ($objItem in $software){
                $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 1) = $objItem.Name
                $Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = $objItem.Version

                   $intRow ++
             }

        $Sheet.UsedRange.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
    }
}

Clear

The following Excel file will be created. For each server in Servers.txt, there will be added a worksheet with the name of the server.
