Answer 1

According to your main question about modifying the code to attach multiple file
assuming that all your attachments exist under C:\sendemail\
we will modify the variable attachment to include all the files under C:\sendemail\ as follow
$attachment = (Get-ChildItem C:\sendemail\ -File).FullName
# or if you would like $attachment = #("C:\sendemail\file1.txt","C:\sendemail\file2.txt","C:\sendemail\file3.txt")
and then we will loop through the files of attachement to create Net.Mail.Attachment object and add it to the message like that:
foreach ($att in $attachment){
$attach = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($att)
$message.Attachments.Add($attach)
}
so your final code will be something like that:
###########Define Variables########
$fromaddress = "donotreply#labtest.com"
$toaddress = "Aishwarya.Rawat#labtest.com"
$bccaddress = "Vikas.sukhija#labtest.com"
$CCaddress = "Mahesh.Sharma#labtest.com"
$Subject = "ACtion Required"
$body = get-content .\content.htm
$attachment = (Get-ChildItem C:\sendemail\ -File).FullName
$smtpserver = "smtp.labtest.com"
####################################
$message = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$message.From = $fromaddress
$message.To.Add($toaddress)
$message.CC.Add($CCaddress)
$message.Bcc.Add($bccaddress)
$message.IsBodyHtml = $True
$message.Subject = $Subject
foreach ($att in $attachment){
$attach = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($att)
$message.Attachments.Add($attach)
}
$message.body = $body
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpserver)
$smtp.Send($message)
If you are not limited to Powershell V1, you could use the Send-MailMessage command
Send-MailMessage -From $fromaddress -to $toaddress -Cc $CCaddress -Bcc $bccaddress -SmtpServer $smtpserver -Body $body -Subject $Subject
