hey Sysadmin, Great video.
Did you post any video showing, how we can get coloured the output for 'Overall Status' based on the value.
Is it something to be achieved using "Out-conditionalFormating" cmdlet ?
Waiting for your reply.

[MA-obyr]

Really Awesome, let me get more learning from you. Please create reports for cluster usage report

[aparichit]

Nice video for a start in PowerShell learning for a beginner. Please also make a video how to make all output data in a file which can be open in excel format.

[tedsatim]

Thanks my dear sir! That was some good material 👌

[tlourey]

Red for off yes.
Yellow for error or unknown (nothings perfect - not even jasbot Powershell)
Green for powered on is optional. If they *regularly* change then yes it should be green. But if the normal status is on, that status doesn't change much and it only changes when something *is* wrong there is no need to call attention to it, so leave it white

Hi
❤
I love the video, pacing of your training is fantastic.
Could I please ask you to email the script ? and yes love to see the host offline display in 'RED', I see if I use CHATGPT to assist if dont hear from you early enough.

Now that I have this script thanks your training video, I can now produce a report to present to management of the hosts failed on a regular basis.

I am yet to produce many other reports with status of other hardwares as well. How do I use your service as I am based in OZ (Australia) being in a different timezone.?

Thank you kindy

[amitchettri_ac]

is it possible to configure the powercli on the linux node?

[abd.alharbi]

Hi. Great content. I wish you'd cover APIs as I'm trying to get tags associated to objects through APIs. Or at least refer me to an article. Cheers.

[Culsta]

Hello, just going through your videos really amazing. I really like to know how to colour the status and also and send the report via email please. Thanks in advance 😊

[vincenton]

I have created the script but when i paste the html in Chrome, the output is in html code, where in your demo, you have the GUI table. Is there something I have missed?
Could I also have your email address for any further assistance or communication moving forward ?
