# this script is designed to transfer the installers to all the machines in the $remoteServers block from the $localServer orchestration machine, and at the end of the script, it will report the contents of the folder on your remote servers so you can confirm the installers have been transferred.

# change the $localServer and $remoteServers lists to reflect your machines

# change the $localDrive, $remoteDrive, $mainDirectory and $subDirectory to match your environment

# Define the local and remote servers
$localServer = @('localserver')   # The machine running the script
$remoteServers = @('remoteserver1','remoteserver2') # Remote targets

# Drive letter and file path setup
$localDrive = "C:" # Define the drive letter as a variable (no trailing slash or $)
$remoteDrive = "D:" # Define the drive letter as a variable (no trailing slash or $)
$mainDirectory = "Automation"  # Change this to the directory that contains the folder that contains the installs folder
$subDirectory = "Installers" # Change this to the directory that contains the installers

# Source path on local machine
