vCheck is not sending email

[santoshchowdary07]

Hi,

I ran the vCheck.ps1 and it did not send me any email with the report. Below is the output screenshot.

Can you post your config file? It looks like it's not even trying to send the email, either because the report is empty and $EmailReportEvenIfEmpty is $false, or because $SendEmail is set to $false

Below is the configuration for my vcheck. I have deleted email addresses and smtp server from below report for security reasons.

  # You can change the following defaults by altering the below settings:
  #

  # Set the following to true to enable the setup wizard for first time run
  $SetupWizard = $False

  # Start of Settings
  # Report header
  $reportHeader = KWPVVC002 vCheck Report"
  # Would you like the report displayed in the local browser once completed ?
  $DisplaytoScreen = false
  # Display the report even if it is empty?
  $DisplayReportEvenIfEmpty = true
  # Use the following item to define if an email report should be sent once completed
  $SendEmail = true
  # Please Specify the SMTP server address (and optional port) [servername(:port)]
  $SMTPSRV = "xyz"
  # Would you like to use SSL to send email?
  $EmailSSL = $false
  # Please specify the email address who will send the vCheck report
  $EmailFrom = "xyz"
  # Please specify the email address(es) who will receive the vCheck report (separate multiple addresses with comma)
  $EmailTo = "xyz"
  # Please specify the email address(es) who will be CCd to receive the vCheck report (separate multiple addresses with comma)
  $EmailCc = ""
  # Please specify an email subject
  $EmailSubject = "ETCKWPVVC002 vCheck Report"
  # Send the report by e-mail even if it is empty?
  $EmailReportEvenIfEmpty = $true
  # If you would prefer the HTML file as an attachment then enable the following:
  $SendAttachment = $false
  # Set the style template to use.
  $Style = "VMware"
  # Do you want to include plugin details in the report?
  $reportOnPlugins = $true
  # List Enabled plugins first in Plugin Report?
  $ListEnabledPluginsFirst = $true
  # Set the following setting to $true to see how long each Plugin takes to run as part of the report
  $TimeToRun = $true
  # Report on plugins that take longer than the following amount of seconds
  $PluginSeconds = 30
  # End of Settings

  # End of Global Variables

From looking at the screenshot, this must be evaluating to false if ($SendEmail -and (!($emptyReport -and !$EmailReportEvenIfEmpty))) {

Is the report generated in your temp directory? And what version of vCheck are you running?

[santoshchowdary07]

I don't see the report generated in my temp directory. I am using the latest version downloaded from below URL.

Hi Sneddo,

Is there any solution for my issue?

[Sneddo]

I assume you mean the latest from the master branch? https://github.com/alanrenouf/vCheck-vSphere/archive/master.zip

I just noticed you seem to be hitting issue #217 as well, which may explain it...

[AlphaCasper2001]

There is a wrong parameter in the vCheck.ps1 file.

Beginning on line 809 (I'm using Notepad++ to edit) change the variable $server to $smtpsrv

$smtpClient.Host = ($SMTPSRV -Split ":")[0] if (($server -split ":")[1]) { $smtpClient.Port = (_$server _-split ":")[1] }

TO

$smtpClient.Host = ($SMTPSRV -Split ":")[0] if (($SMTPSRV -split ":")[1]) { $smtpClient.Port = ($SMTPSRV -split ":")[1] }

[Sneddo]

Good catch, fixed in the dev branch

I hit this problem today as well, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

What is the format when your email server requires a password? I saw in a post username/password but I'm not receiving emails and I applied the change above. $smtpClient.Host = ($SMTPSRV -Split ":")[0] if (($SMTPSRV -split ":")[1]) { $smtpClient.Port = ($SMTPSRV -split ":")[1] } Tom

[buckmaster60]

email working. username@domain.com

is the change above updated as I just downloaded the zip and i had to make the smtpsrv change? t
