Long time since I wrote a blog – been uber busy – but found time to slip this one in! Working with ConfigMgr a lot I have a number of html-style email reports written in PowerShell that get data from the SCCM database and send it to me and other SCCM admins. Personally, I much prefer getting a regular email containing useful information than to use the canned SSRS reports, or checking the SCCM console.
Below is a template script that can be used to send regular reports containing SQL data with a simple SQL query as an example. Simply create a scheduled task on an admin server to run the report regularly, using an action like:
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden – File MyScript.ps1
The email from this example looks like:
The script uses a custom html style and a publically available css file to provide the formatting (this does mean internet access is required).
To use the script, you need the relevant permissions to query your SQL database and enter the SQL details at the top of the script, as well as your email parameters. Add your SQL query, update the headers in the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet and you’re away.
Ciao for now!
