Powershell RDS CAL email Report - powershell

I have a PowerShell command that will get an output of how many CAL's I have installed and how many are used. I would like to instead of write-host, change it to a variable so that I can add it to the body of an email and have it run on a schedule, to email me weekly reports on usage, I would like to have the variable something like $report as shown in the $body of the email, this is what I have so far..
$fileName = (Invoke-WmiMethod Win32_TSLicenseReport -Name GenerateReportEx).FileName
$summaryEntries = (Get-WmiObject Win32_TSLicenseReport|Where-Object FileName -eq $fileName).FetchReportSummaryEntries(0,0).ReportSummaryEntries
$summaryEntries|ForEach {Write-Host $_.ProductVersion $_.TSCALType "Installed:" $_.InstalledLicenses "Issued:" $_.IssuedLicenses}
$EmailTo = "itgroup#contonso.com"
$EmailFrom = "admin#contonso.com"
$user = 'admin#contonso.com'
$password = Unprotect-CmsMessage -Path C:\Scripts\Powershell\EncryptedSecret.txt
$Subject = "Alert: CAL USAGE "
$Body = "Alert; $Report"
$SMTPServer = "smtp#contonso.com"
$SMTPMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage($EmailFrom,$EmailTo,$Subject,$Body)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 25)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $false
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user, $password)
$SMTPClient.Send($SMTPMessage)
I have used both parts of this script separately, but I would like to join them together, to make more useful. Thanks in advance PowerShell newbie..

Here is the full code that I used to get this to work, simply changing 'Write-Host' to 'Write-Output'
$fileName = (Invoke-WmiMethod Win32_TSLicenseReport -Name GenerateReportEx).FileName
$summaryEntries = (Get-WmiObject Win32_TSLicenseReport|Where-Object FileName -eq $fileName).FetchReportSummaryEntries(0,0).ReportSummaryEntries
$Report = $summaryEntries|ForEach {Write-Output $_.ProductVersion $_.TSCALType "Installed:" $_.InstalledLicenses "Issued:" $_.IssuedLicenses}
$EmailTo = "itgroup#contonso.com"
$EmailFrom = "admin#contonso.com"
$user = 'admin#contonso.com'
$password = Unprotect-CmsMessage -Path C:\Scripts\Powershell\EncryptedSecret.txt
$Subject = "RDS CAL USAGE REPORT"
$Body = "Alert; $Report"
$SMTPServer = "smtp#contonso.com"
$SMTPMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage($EmailFrom,$EmailTo,$Subject,$Body)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 25)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $false
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user, $password)
$SMTPClient.Send($SMTPMessage)

Powershell email add CC field

I found this code here for sending emails and attachments with Powershell and works great for that but I'm trying to add the email CC to it. I can't figure it out. Please give me a hand if you can. I tried various ways of adding $message.Cc.Add("email_address"); but can't get it working. Thank you.
$Username = "MyUserName";
$Password = "MyPassword";
$path = "C:\attachment.txt";
function Send-ToEmail([string]$email, [string]$attachmentpath){
$message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage;
$message.From = "YourName#gmail.com";
$message.To.Add($email);
$message.Subject = "subject text here...";
$message.Body = "body text here...";
$attachment = New-Object Net.Mail.Attachment($attachmentpath);
$message.Attachments.Add($attachment);
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", "587");
$smtp.EnableSSL = $true;
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
$smtp.send($message);
write-host "Mail Sent" ;
$attachment.Dispose();
}
Send-ToEmail -email "reciever#gmail.com" -attachmentpath $path;
$Username = "MyUserName";
$Password = "MyPassword";
$path = "C:\attachment.txt";
function Send-ToEmail([string]$email, [string]$emailCc, [string]$attachmentpath){
$message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage;
$message.From = "YourName#gmail.com";
$message.To.Add($email);
$message.Cc.Add($emailCc);
$message.Subject = "subject text here...";
$message.Body = "body text here...";
$attachment = New-Object Net.Mail.Attachment($attachmentpath);
$message.Attachments.Add($attachment);
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", "587");
$smtp.EnableSSL = $true;
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
$smtp.send($message);
write-host "Mail Sent" ;
$attachment.Dispose();
}
Send-ToEmail -email "reciever#gmail.com" -emailCc "CCreciever#gmail.com" -attachmentpath $path;
It works to me. Please try.
$smtpCred = (Get-Credential)
$ToAddress = 'to#outlook.com'
$CcAddress = 'cc#outlook.com'
$FromAddress = 'from#outlook.com'
$SmtpServer = 'smtp.office365.com'
$SmtpPort = '587'
$mailparam = #{
To = $ToAddress
Cc = $CcAddress
From = $FromAddress
Subject = 'Test Subject'
Body = 'Test Body'
SmtpServer = $SmtpServer
Port = $SmtpPort
Credential = $smtpCred
}
Send-MailMessage #mailparam -UseSsl

Power Shell: If condition variable comparison not working

I have a piece of code comparing two values, and if the condition is satisfied it sends out an email. But it is not working, help is appreciated.
code:
$filesize = Get-ChildItem $filename | Select-Object Length | Format-Wide
$filesize
$num=1265
$num
if("$filesize" -gt "$num")
{
$SMTPServer = "10.20.19.94"
$SMTPPort = 25
$username = "vcenter#somosadc.com"
#Define the receiver of the report
$to = "jeevan.m2#hcl.com"
$subject = "VM Snapshot Report"
$body = "VM Snapshot Report"
$attachment = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($filename)
$message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$message.subject = $subject
$message.body = $body
$message.to.add($to)
$message.from = $username
$message.attachments.add($attachment)
$smtp = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SMTPServer, $SMTPPort);
$smtp.EnableSSL = $false
#$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
$smtp.send($message)
write-host "Mail Sent"
}
output:
1262
1265
Mail Sent
Why is it sending email if $filesize=1262 is less than $num=1265. It is killing me.
Because you're not comparing two numbers, you're comparing two strings.
Remove the Format-Wide command from the first pipeline, and remove the quotes around the arguments in your if condition:
$filesize = Get-ChildItem $filename | Select-Object Length
$num = 1265
if($filesize.Length -gt $num) {
<# ... #>
}

How to send email with PowerShell

I'd like to send email from PowerShell,
so I use this command:
$EmailFrom = "customer#yahoo.com"
$EmailTo = "receiver#ymail.com"
$Subject = "today date"
$Body = "TODAY SYSTEM DATE=01/04/2016 SYSTEM TIME=11:32:05.50"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object
System.Net.NetworkCredential("customer#yahoo.com", "password")
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
This command didn't work for Yahoo mail or Outlook mail, but works for my Gmail.
Is there anything wrong that I have done?
Following code snippet really works for me:
$Username = "MyUserName";
$Password = "MyPassword";
$path = "C:\attachment.txt";
function Send-ToEmail([string]$email, [string]$attachmentpath){
$message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage;
$message.From = "YourName#gmail.com";
$message.To.Add($email);
$message.Subject = "subject text here...";
$message.Body = "body text here...";
$attachment = New-Object Net.Mail.Attachment($attachmentpath);
$message.Attachments.Add($attachment);
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", "587");
$smtp.EnableSSL = $true;
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
$smtp.send($message);
write-host "Mail Sent" ;
$attachment.Dispose();
}
Send-ToEmail -email "reciever#gmail.com" -attachmentpath $path;
I use this:
Send-MailMessage -To hi#abc.com -from hi2#abc.com -Subject 'hi' -SmtpServer 10.1.1.1
You can simply use the Gmail smtp.
Following is The powershell code to send a gmail message with an Attachment:
$Message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("From#gmail.com", "password");
$smtp.EnableSsl = $true
$smtp.Timeout = 400000
$Message.From = "From#gmail.com"
$Message.To.Add("To#gmail.com")
$Message.Attachments.Add("C:\foo\attach.txt")
$smtp.Send($Message)
On the sender Google Account (From#gmail.com),
Make sure you have Turned ON Access for less-secure apps option,
from google Account Security Dashboard.
Finally, Save this Script As mail.ps1
To invoke the above Script Simple run below on Command Prompt or batch file:
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File mail.ps1
By Default, For sending Large Attachments Timeout is Around 100 seconds or so.
In this script, it is increased to Around 5 or 6 minutes
Sometimes you may need to set the EnableSsl to false (in this case the message will be sent unencrypted over the network)

Accessing Mapped Network Drive Fails In Scheduled Task

I have the following powershell script which checks a drive to see if it is low on space, and if so stops sabnzbd downloads and sends me an email:
$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID='B:'" | Select-Object FreeSpace
$gb =$disk.FreeSpace /1073741824
if($gb -lt 3)
{
$wc = New-Object system.Net.WebClient;
$smsResult = $wc.downloadString("http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=pause&apikey=XXXXXXX")
$EmailFrom = "XXXXXXX"
$EmailTo = "XXXXXXX"
$Subject = "NAS out of space <eom>"
$Body = ""
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("XXXXXXX", "XXXXXXX");
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
}
This works perfectly when running in powershell through the console or ISE, but when I setup a scheduled task the WMI query returns the drive size as 0. I do not get any errors and task scheduler says the task completed successfully. I run the task with elevated privileges as my administrator account. Have also tried to run as SYSTEM without any luck. I have seen other people ask similar questions a long time ago, but it does not seem like they got any answers.
Working off of andyb's comment I was able to fix this by mapping and unmapping the drive explicitly so that Powershell can use it.
$net = new-object -ComObject WScript.Network
$net.MapNetworkDrive("K:", "\\192.0.0.0\NAS", $false, "192.0.0.0\NASAdmin", "xxxxxx")
$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID='K:'" | Select-Object FreeSpace
$gb =$disk.FreeSpace /1073741824
$gb>E:\test.txt
if($gb -lt 3)
{
$wc = New-Object system.Net.WebClient;
$smsResult = $wc.downloadString("http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=pause&apikey=xxxxxx")
$EmailFrom = "xxxxxx"
$EmailTo = "xxxxxx"
$Subject = "NAS out of space <eom>"
$Body = ""
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("xxxxxx", "xxxxxx");
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
}
Start-Sleep 5
$net.RemoveNetworkDrive("K:");

How to attach a file to an email with PowerShell

I have written a PowerShell script that will create an email, however I can't seem to attach a file. The file does exist and PowerShell can open it, Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
$ol = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
$message = $ol.CreateItem(0)
$message.Recipients.Add("Deployment")
$message.Subject = "Website deployment"
$message.Body = "See attached file for the updates made to the website`r`n`r`nWarm Regards`r`nLuke"
# Attach a file this doesn't work
$file = "K:\Deploy-log.csv"
$attachment = new-object System.Net.Mail.Attachment $file
$message.Attachments.Add($attachment)
If you are on PowerShell 2.0, just use the built-in cmdlet Send-MailMessage:
C:\PS>Send-MailMessage -from "User01 <user01#example.com>" `
-to "User02 <user02#example.com>", `
"User03 <user03#example.com>" `
-subject "Sending the Attachment" `
-body "Forgot to send the attachment. Sending now." `
-Attachment "data.csv" -smtpServer smtp.fabrikam.com
If you copy/paste this watch out for the extra space added after the backtick. PowerShell doesn't like it.
I got the above to work by removing the line
$attachment = new-object System.Net.Mail.Attachment $file
and changing
$message.Attachments.Add($attachment)
to
$message.Attachments.Add($file)
While the solution provided by #Keith Hill would be better, even with a lot of goggling I couldn't get it to work.
This worked for me using powershell-
Define Variables:
$fromaddress = "donotreply#pd.com"
$toaddress = "test#pd.com"
$Subject = "Test message"
$body = "Please find attached - test"
$attachment = "C:\temp\test.csv"
$smtpserver = "mail.pd.com"
Use the variables in the script:
$message = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$message.From = $fromaddress
$message.To.Add($toaddress)
$message.IsBodyHtml = $True
$message.Subject = $Subject
$attach = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($attachment)
$message.Attachments.Add($attach)
$message.body = $body
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpserver)
$smtp.Send($message)
You can use send-mailmessage or system.net.mail.MailMessage to accomplish it. Interestingly, there is a significant execution time difference between the two approaches. You can use measure-command to observe the execution time of the commands.
I have experienced such problem, (windows 10 / PS 5.1)
