passing parameters to script (ps1)

i have the following command in my ps1 script :

get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername 155.14.197.22 |
format-table -property username

I wish to change to following :

get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername <this becomes a parameter,
and how to make it a parameter> | format-table -property username

From my cmd prompt, how do i call the scripts filling in the parameters

eg powershell -command test.ps1 <parameter 1>, etc

Try someting like:

get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername $args[0] | format-table
-property username
# $args[0] is the first parameter of your script, $args[1] the second, etc.

you guessed correctly:

PS>get-content C:\do-foo.ps1
write-host 'test0'
write-host $args[0]
write-host $args[1]

cmd> powershell -command c:\do-foo.ps1 test1 test2
test0
test1
test2
