vCheck fails on sending emails

[bopraji]

Hi Just downloaded vCheck and ran it. All good and reports our environment. But I get these errors when it tries to email the reports.. 0:54:26 a.m. ..Displaying HTML results 10:54:26 a.m. ..Sending Email New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address."

Am I missing something? The email addresses etc looks correct in the globalvariables file.

Cheers

Can you let us know what version of Powershell you are using: $host.version

Also, if you could provide the email section of your GlobalVariables.ps1 (feel free to replace the email recipient/domain).

Most of this is just noise, it looks like it doesn't like $EmailFrom or $EmailTo.

Hi Alan

Thanks for your reply.

Found the error after posting to the forum. There was a space in one of the email addresses that I missed.

Its working fine now.

Much appreciate your work on this.

Running on Windows 7 and using VMware vSphere PowerCLI!
