Email option

[rolandon]

Hello, is there a way to have the script send a email if something fails during the process? I would like to get an email sent if there is an issue and after the patching is completed.

Good idea.

I found sample PowerShell code at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vijaysk/2008/04/08/automatically-email-powershell-session-transcript/ and merged into the main PS1 with version 0.71

Would you please download the latest and test?

.\SPPatchify.ps1 -emailReportTo "somebody@company.com" -emailReportFrom "sharepoint@company.com -emailReportServer "mailrelay.company.com"

I get the below error

.\SPPatchify.ps1 -emailReportTo "test@company.com" .\SPPatchify.ps1 : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'test@company.com'. At line:1 char:1

Updated params from [switch] to [string].

Please test again.
