Answer 1

Write-Host is only for sending data to the console and nowhere else. If you are looking to send data elsewhere ie. to file you will need to send it to the output stream

write-output "folders created successfully $($env:computername)" >> c:\scripts\testlog.txt

or

"folders created successfully $($env:computername)" >> c:\scripts\testlog.txt

Notice the sub expression around $env. We need to be sure that the variable is expanded in the double quotes properly.
