To run cmd.exe from PowerShell, you don't need to use invoke-item e.g.:

cmd /c c:\windows\system32\ipconfig > file.txt

However, why not just run?

ipconfig > file.txt

try passing the command in directly with the full path qualifier of program.exe like:

$test= "c:\windows\system32\program.exe argument > file.txt"  
Invoke-Expression $test
