How would I use powerShell to find the name of a remote computer/NAS location? I don't have the name, just a path to get there in Windows Explorer. I'm trying to use the following command in a script, but don't have computername for the NAS at network location \usa0xxxnas1.na.xxx.net\directory1:

invoke-command -computername <UnknownNameGoesHere> -credential $globalcred -scriptblock{test-path...}

I've been looking at this link but it's not answering my question, since they need the computerName (london) to run the command they are discussing, unless I'm mis-understanding something:
name of remote computer

`-ComputerName` parameter doesn't have to be actual (NetBIOS) name. It can be IP address or anything that resolves to IP address. In you case it seems to be `usa0xxxnas1.na.xxx.net`. – Alexander Obersht Jun 27 '14 at 19:14
@AlexanderObersht You should post that as an answer. – Ansgar Wiechers Jun 28 '14 at 16:56
