So here is the deal. I have a script that kicks in once the AC adapter gets disconnected, and when that happens I also want the script to send me an text message via messages.google.com.
I am pretty new to PS, and im completely lost when it comes to HTML, so im not sure what I am supposed to look for at the website.
$url = "https://messages.google.com/web/conversations"
try {
$chrome = (Get-ItemProperty "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe").'(Default)'
Start-Process "$chrome" $url
}
catch {
Start-Process $url
Start-sleep -Seconds 5
($chrome.document.getElementsByClassName("fab-link mat-button mat-button-base") | select -first 1).click()
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
($chrome.document.getElementsByClassName("input") | select -first 1).value = "95******"
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{ENTER}")
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
($chrome.document.getElementByClassName("input-row") | select -first 1).value = "HS3 har mistet strøm"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
($chrome.document.getElementByClassName("send-info ng-star-inserted") | select -first 1).click()
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
Stop-Process -Name chrome
}
No idea how to make this work, hope anyone out there can help, thanks in advance :)
The try & catch does not make alot of sense if you use them like that. You can use that to handle ("catch") error messages -> see About Try Catch Finally.
If I were you I would go the easy way and send myself e-mails instead.
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$username = "sender#gmail.com"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "yourPasswordHere" -AsPlainText -Force
$creds = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password
$From = "sender#gmail.com"
$To = "recipient#gmail.com"
#$Cc = "YourBoss#YourDomain.com"
$Attachment = "C:\test\test.txt"
$Subject = "Test"
$Body = "To Whom It May Concern,`n`nthe bike is on fire,`nyou're on fire,`neverything is on fire,`nand you're in hell.`n`nRegards, YourSysAdmin"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPPort = "587"
Send-MailMessage -From $From -to $To -Subject $Subject -Body $Body -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -port $SMTPPort -UseSsl -Credential $creds -Attachments $Attachment
See: PowerShell: Sending Email With Send-MailMessage (Gmail example)
But you will have to disable Less secure app blocked in Gmail.
If however you really really really want to send text messages instead, I'd suggest you either
get a commercial application that sends sms for you
or
you can find out how to send messages to i.e. Google Hangouts with XMPP
or
use Pidgin and write some code to send the messages remotely. There is a plug-in called purple-remote that you might be able to utilize.
If you still want to go for the method whereby you interact with Chrome, you can use Selenium as shown here: PowerShell & Selenium: Automate Web Browser Interactions – Part I

I'm trying to make e Powershell script to check a specific service(name) with Status and StartType and additional information like time and date of the servers and server names.
List of servers from .txt is only the FQDN's.
I have the desired output in powershell but can't get it properly to send via SMTP.
In one case it doesn't show the state or won't show to processes only the names of the servers and all the information is plain text not in containers for the different servers.
Desired output :desired output in powershell need to transfer to smtp email
$ServerList = Get-Content -Path "C:\new_folder\servers.txt"
Foreach ($server in $ServerList){
$time = "---"
$time = ([WMI]'').ConvertToDateTime((gwmi win32_operatingsystem -computername $server).LocalDateTime)
$server + ', ' + $time
Get-Service -ComputerName "$server" | where-object {$_.name -like '*goge*'} | Select #{Name="server";Expression={$server}},Name,DisplayName,StartType,Status
}send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $smtp -To $to -From $from -Subject $subject -Body $body -BodyAsHtml -Priority high
Try to use this little fix, i leave comments
$ServerList = Get-Content -Path "C:\new_folder\servers.txt"
$array=#() #array which will contain result get-service
Foreach ($server in $ServerList){
$time = "---"
$time = ([WMI]'').ConvertToDateTime((gwmi win32_operatingsystem -computername $server).LocalDateTime)
$server + ', ' + $time
#add to our array result of each get-service from servers
$array+=Get-Service -ComputerName "$server" | where-object {$_.name -like '*goge*'} | Select #{Name="server";Expression={$server}},Name,DisplayName,StartType,Status
}
send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $smtp -To $to -From $from -Subject $subject -Body $array -BodyAsHtml -Priority high
A task job is running by task scheduler every 30 mins everyday.
I just want one more task to monitor whether the task is completed or not.
Would you please give me the powershell script as necessary below.
Sorted by Event id : 101 and 102, specified task job name, action time, the job result in the last 24 hours,
I want to have log txt file into C drive. I guess it should be used "Get-WinEvent"...
Otherwise if you know it's simple way to export the result log automatically(Task completed or not)
on daily base, please let me know.
Thank you

I'm having a PowerShell script for comparing two text files and displaying the output:
Compare-Object $(Get-Content c:\scripts\x.txt) $(Get-Content c:\scripts\y.txt) -includeequal
But I want the output in the form of a notification, like an Email...
How can I forward the output to an Email-Body and then send it the mail?
To put the output comparison into an Email and send it over gmail, you can use the Send-MailMessage command like this:
$From = "YourEmail#gmail.com"
$To = "ToMail#Domain.com"
$Cc = "CCMail#Domain.com"
$Subject = "String Comparison"
$comparison = (Compare-Object (Get-Content c:\scripts\x.txt) (Get-Content c:\scripts\y.txt) -includeequal).InputObject
foreach($line in $comparison)
{
$Body+= $line
}
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPPort = "587"
Send-MailMessage -From $From -to $To -Cc $Cc -Subject $Subject -Body $Body -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -port $SMTPPort -UseSsl -Credential (Get-Credential)

I am trying to run a perl script whenever there is a service crash. The perl script intends to restart the service and send a mail to all the developers.
I have used windows recovery options for that, where it has an option to run a program . I have filled the required details in the command line option but the script doesn't seem to get executed. Can you please help me by sharing your knowledge on this?
Recovery tab configuration
I have tried with Restart service option and that is working fine but the run a program isn't executing the script. Am I missing something?
Any comment on this will be helpful.
I recently implemented a recovery option to run a powershell script that attempts to restart the service a defined number of times and sends an email notification at the conclusion, it also attaches a txt file with recent relevant logs.
After several attempts (and despite all the other things I have seen) The configuration of fields on the recovery tab in services is as follows:
Program: Powershell.exe
**Not C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Powershell.exe
Command line parameters: -command "& {SomePath\YourScript.ps1 '$args[0]' '$args[1]' '$args[n]'}"
eg: -command "& {C:\PowershellScripts\ServicesRecovery.ps1 'Service Name'}"
**The $args are parameters that will be passed to your script. These are not required.
here is the powershell script:
cd $PSScriptRoot
$n = $args[0]
function CreateLogFile {
$events = Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source SomeSource -Newest 40
if (!(Test-Path "c:\temp")) {
New-Item -Path "c:\temp" -Type directory}
if (!(Test-Path "c:\temp\ServicesLogs.txt")) {
New-Item -Path "c:\temp" -Type File -Name "ServicesLogs.txt"}
$events | Out-File -width 600 c:\temp\ServicesLogs.txt
}
function SendEmail {
$EmailServer = "SMTP Server"
$ToAddress = "Name#domain.com"
$FromAddress = "Name#domain.com"
CreateLogFile
$Retrycount = $Retrycount + 1
send-mailmessage -SmtpServer $EmailServer -Priority High -To $ToAddress -From $FromAddress -Subject "$n Service failure" `
-Body "The $n service on server $env:COMPUTERNAME has stopped and was unable to be restarted after $Retrycount attempts." -Attachments c:\temp\ServicesLogs.txt
Remove-Item "c:\temp\ServicesLogs.txt"
}
function SendEmailFail {
$EmailServer = "SMTP Server"
$ToAddress = "Name#domain.com"
$FromAddress = "Name#domain.com"
CreateLogFile
$Retrycount = $Retrycount + 1
send-mailmessage -SmtpServer $EmailServer -Priority High -To $ToAddress -From $FromAddress -Subject "$n Service Restarted" `
-Body "The $n service on server $env:COMPUTERNAME stopped and was successfully restarted after $Retrycount attempts. The relevant system logs are attached." -Attachments c:\temp\ServicesLogs.txt
Remove-Item "c:\temp\ServicesLogs.txt"
}
function StartService {
$Stoploop = $false
do {
if ($Retrycount -gt 3){
$Stoploop = $true
SendEmail
Break
}
$i = Get-WmiObject win32_service | ?{$_.Name -imatch $n} | select Name, State, StartMode
if ($i.State -ne "Running" -and $i.StartMode -ne "Disabled") {
sc.exe start $n
Start-Sleep -Seconds 35
$i = Get-WmiObject win32_service | ?{$_.Name -imatch $n} | select State
if ($i.state -eq "Running"){

I have a exe file that is executed every day by the Task Scheduler on my Windows 2008. If that script should fail to start, or if the script fails during execution, I would like to get an email notification.
There are many examples of getting Task Schedular to send an email based on an event log entry. However, I only want to be notified if MY particular scheduled task fails, not get a notification for all tasks that fails with an EventID 203/103/201. How can I do that without any custom software?
Create a new Task that runs this PowerShell Script.
$ScheduledTaskName = "Taskname"
$Result = (schtasks /query /FO LIST /V /TN $ScheduledTaskName | findstr "Result")
$Result = $Result.substring(12)
$Code = $Result.trim()
If ($Code -gt 0) {
$User = "admin#company.com"
$Pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "myPassword" -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $User, $Pass
$From = "Alert Scheduled Task <task#servername>"
$To = "Admin <admin#company.com>"
$Subject = "Scheduled task 'Taskname' failed on SRV-001"
$Body = "Error code: $Code"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.company.com"
$SMTPPort = "25"
Send-MailMessage -From $From -to $To -Subject $Subject `
-Body $Body -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -port $SMTPPort -UseSsl `
-Credential $Cred
}
I just wanted to add to this post just in case someone has a similar challenge on later server o/s. There is now a PowerShell cmdlet to get Scheduled Task information.
$ScheduledTaskName = 'Taskname'
(Get-ScheduledTaskInfo -TaskName $ScheduledTaskName).LastTaskResult
