email output of powershell script
- by Gordon Carlisle
I found this wonderful script that outputs the status of the current DFS backlog to the powershell console. This works great, but I need the script to email me so I can schedule it to run nightly. I have tried using the Send-MailMessage command, but can't get it to work. Mainly because my powershell skills are very weak. I believe most of the issue revolve around the script using the Write-Host command. While the coloring is nice I would much rather have it email me the results. I also need the solution to be able to specify a mail server since the dfs servers don't have email capability.
Any help or tips are welcome and appreciated.
Here is the code.
$RGroups = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\MicrosoftDFS" -Query "SELECT * FROM DfsrReplicationGroupConfig"
$ComputerName=$env:ComputerName
$Succ=0
$Warn=0
$Err=0
foreach ($Group in $RGroups)
{
$RGFoldersWMIQ = "SELECT * FROM DfsrReplicatedFolderConfig WHERE ReplicationGroupGUID='" + $Group.ReplicationGroupGUID + "'"
$RGFolders = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\MicrosoftDFS" -Query $RGFoldersWMIQ
$RGConnectionsWMIQ = "SELECT * FROM DfsrConnectionConfig WHERE ReplicationGroupGUID='"+ $Group.ReplicationGroupGUID + "'"
$RGConnections = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\MicrosoftDFS" -Query $RGConnectionsWMIQ
foreach ($Connection in $RGConnections)
{
$ConnectionName = $Connection.PartnerName.Trim()
if ($Connection.Enabled -eq $True)
{
if (((New-Object System.Net.NetworkInformation.ping).send("$ConnectionName")).Status -eq "Success")
{
foreach ($Folder in $RGFolders)
{
$RGName = $Group.ReplicationGroupName
$RFName = $Folder.ReplicatedFolderName
if ($Connection.Inbound -eq $True)
{
$SendingMember = $ConnectionName
$ReceivingMember = $ComputerName
$Direction="inbound"
}
else
{
$SendingMember = $ComputerName
$ReceivingMember = $ConnectionName
$Direction="outbound"
}
$BLCommand = "dfsrdiag Backlog /RGName:'" + $RGName + "' /RFName:'" + $RFName + "' /SendingMember:" + $SendingMember + " /ReceivingMember:" + $ReceivingMember
$Backlog = Invoke-Expression -Command $BLCommand
$BackLogFilecount = 0
foreach ($item in $Backlog)
{
if ($item -ilike "*Backlog File count*")
{
$BacklogFileCount = [int]$Item.Split(":")[1].Trim()
}
}
if ($BacklogFileCount -eq 0)
{
$Color="white"
$Succ=$Succ+1
}
elseif ($BacklogFilecount -lt 10)
{
$Color="yellow"
$Warn=$Warn+1
}
else
{
$Color="red"
$Err=$Err+1
}
Write-Host "$BacklogFileCount files in backlog $SendingMember->$ReceivingMember for $RGName" -fore $Color
} # Closing iterate through all folders
} # Closing If replies to ping
} # Closing If Connection enabled
} # Closing iteration through all connections
} # Closing iteration through all groups
Write-Host "$Succ successful, $Warn warnings and $Err errors from $($Succ+$Warn+$Err) replications."
Thanks,
Gordon
