Hi Experts, I have a PowerShell command that will get an output of how many CAL's I have installed and how many are used. Instead of write-host (to screen), I'd like to change it to a variable so that I can add it to the body of an email and have it run on a schedule and email me weekly reports on usage (Available CAL's) 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
$Report = ($summaryEntries|ForEach {Write-Host $_.ProductVersion $_.TSCALType "Installed:" $_.InstalledLicenses "Issued:" $_.IssuedLicenses})
$EmailTo = "itgroup@microsoft.com"
$EmailFrom = "admin@microsoft.com"
$user = 'admin@microsoft.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. I have tried every way I know how in my limited experience, hopefully it is possible. Thanks in advance..
