$server = Read-Host "Enter server name " I believe that will do what you want.
To get environment variables, the exact syntax is something like $env:COMPUTERNAME.

I have the following script that kinda does it for me: [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Set-ReceiveConnector "Windows SBS Internet Receive %SERVERNAME%" -RemoteIPRanges (Get-Content c:\users\sys_adm\desktop\%youriplist%.txt) its a little bit of a pain though, as I have to have the IP list in a text file somewhere and then modify the script to use it. and also the receive connector name is never the same so i have to change that in the script. Id LIKE to have it so it asks for certain variables before it starts, so it picks up the right hostname for instance, a little like a set /p does.
