How to Create Pretty HTML Reports with PowerShell | Dynamic CSS Highlighting

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create beautiful HTML reports using PowerShell. We'll take the output of a Get-Service command, select only the name of the service and its status, and then output the result to an HTML file. To make our report visually appealing, we'll add CSS styling, and we'll even highlight stopped services in red using dynamic CSS. Follow along to enhance your PowerShell skills and create stunning reports!

What you'll learn:

Retrieving service information using Get-Service
Selecting specific properties from the service output
Generating an HTML report with embedded CSS
Styling your HTML table with CSS for a professional look
Adding dynamic CSS to highlight specific conditions (e.g., stopped services)
