Code: Select all

$OUList = @(
    'OU=Workstations,OU=Testing,DC=Domain,DC=com',
    'OU=Desktops,DC=Domain,DC=com',
    'OU=Laptops,DC=Domain,DC=com'

$computers = ForEach-Object{
    Get-ADComputer -Properties Name -Filter { Enabled -eq $True -and OperatingSystem -like "*Windows*" } -SearchBase $_ |
        Where-Object { Test-Connection $_.Name -Count 1 -Quiet }
}

$computers |
    ForEach-Object {

        Get-RemoteProgram -ComputerName $_.Name -IncludeProgram '*Office*'
    } |
    Sort-Object ProgramName |
    Export-Csv -Path C:\Logs\Office.txt -NoTypeInformation
It cannot retrieve the value of $OUList?

Hence the error:
Get-ADComputer : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'SearchBase'. The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running the command again.At line:249 char:118

        Where-Object { Test-Connection $_.Name -Count 1 -Quiet }
