Invoke wmi method to send remote command

Question

Hi guys, i am trying to create a log entry by using inoke-wmimethod not invoke-command
this is what i am using but no luck
foreach($server in $servers){
$error.Clear()
$ping = New-Object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
if($ping.send($server,1000).Status -like "success"){
sleep -Milliseconds 100
"Running FlushDNS cmd on $server"
New-EventLog -ComputerName $server –LogName System –Source “Script” -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Invoke-WmiMethod -Path Win32_Process -ComputerName $server Create -ArgumentList "cmd /c ipconfig /flushdns" -AsJob -ThrottleLimit 200 >> $null
Invoke-WmiMethod -Path Win32_Process -ComputerName $server Create -ArgumentList "powershell /c Write-EventLog -LogName System -Source `"Script`" -EntryType Information -EventId 1 -Message `"Received FlushDns Command`""
"$(get-date) Sent ipconfig /flushdns to $server" >> "\\localhost\c$\PSScripts\test\CTX flushdns\flushdns other.log"
I am guessing its something to do with my format since flushdns appears to be working? Any ideas?

I had better luck using get-wmiobject to retrieve the object from the desired computer and class and piping that to invoke-wmimethod:
    Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter "Index=$index" |
    Invoke-WmiMethod -Name SetIPConnectionMetric -ArgumentList $metric
