Concatenate a string with the results of group-object

Question

I wrote a script to get the 10 most recent entries in the Windows application log. It works fine, but I would prefer to format the output differently.The output looks like this:server1\
Count Name
    9 1008
    1 1010
server 2\
Count Name
    5 256
    5 258
I'd like it to look like this.Server Count Name
server1    9 1008
server1    1 1010
Server Count Name
server2    5  256
server2    5  258
Ideally, the server name would only appear once per group, but I'd settle for what I showed above. Where does the "\" after the server name come from? Why are there all those empty lines between server groups?$S = get-content -Path c:\scripts\PowerShell\servers.txt
Foreach ($Server in $S)
if (test-connection $server -quiet -TimeToLive 5 -Count 2)
$events = get-WinEvent -ComputerName $Server -logname application -Maxevents 10 -ErrorAction silentlyContinue
$output1 = $events | group-object -property Id -noelement | sort-object -property count -descending -ErrorAction silentlyContinue
$output2 = Out-String -InputObject $output1 -Width 100
join-path $Server $output2
else
{"Could not connect to " + $Server}
Thanks,Matthew
