SourceName      :
How can I get the display for the Unique IP address like the below format:

Code: Select all

192.168.1.66 - LAPTOP66
192.168.32.58 - No-DNS
10.10.13.97 - SVRPRTG01
172.16.32.99 - NoDNS
The below code is not producing the output I wanted:
Write-Host "Unique IP addresses are as follows"**
Write-Host "$(($Results | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SourceIP -Unique)) - Resolve-DnsName -Type A -Name (($Results | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SourceIP -Unique))"
Hence I need your help.

I want to convert the $Results variable as HTML so I can attach it in Send-MailMessage body

Code: Select all

$params = @{
    SmtpServer = 'SMTP.DOMAIN.com'
    From       = "$env:COMPUTERNAME@$env:userdnsdomain"
    To         = 'boss@IT.com'
    Subject    = "The report email as at $(Get-Date -Format 'F')"
    Body       = $Results
    BodyAsHtml = $true
}
Send-MailMessage @params

Thank you in advance.

To send an object collection as HTML you would use "ConvertTo-Html" .

$body = $results | ConvertTo-Html | Out-String

Hi Mr. Vierra,

Yes, that works partially on the email body to show the $Results content.
However, how to allow the output to be like:

Unique IP address:

Code: Select all

192.168.1.66 - LAPTOP66
192.168.32.58 - No-DNS
10.10.13.97 - SVRPRTG01
172.16.32.99 - NoDNS
No need to be in the HTML table.

Don't make the body HTML and the line breaks will persist.

I also wanted to know how to filter out fake news that I can see online every day. Recently found a valuable essay for me on this topic https://writingbros.com/essay-examples/fake-news/ You can read and make sure that the problem is really serious.
Hence I need your help.

I want to convert the $Results variable as HTML so I can attach it in Send-MailMessage body

Code: Select all

$params = @{
    SmtpServer = 'SMTP.DOMAIN.com'
    From       = "$env:COMPUTERNAME@$env:userdnsdomain"
    To         = 'boss@IT.com'
    Subject    = "The report email as at $(Get-Date -Format 'F')"
    Body       = $Results
    BodyAsHtml = $true
}
Send-MailMessage @params

Thank you in advance.
I am also interested in solving the problem. Thank you for your inquiry.
