  Those requirements are a bit vague. Are you running a select statement? An update? What will your CSV look like?

  Here is some boilerplate PowerShell code to help you get you started interacting with your CMS.

  $serverGroupPath = 'SQLSERVER:\SQLRegistration\Central Management Server Group\<GroupName>\'

  $instanceNameList = dir $serverGroupPath -recurse | where-object { $_.Mode.Equals("-") } | select-object Name -Unique

  foreach($instanceName in $instanceNameList)

  {

  # do something against each server here

  }
