$cluster = get-cluster -name "WDC"

$strcomputers = "host1", "host2"

$strcomputers | foreach {add-vmhost -name $_ -location $cluster -user root -password "xxxxxxxxxx" -confirm:$false}

If you look at the syntax of the Add-VMHost cmdlet, you'll notice that the Name parameter doesn't take an array of values, just a single String.

So you can only give it 1 hostname.
