MicroNugget: How to Create HTML Reports in PowerShell

In this video, Don Jones covers how to assemble information from multiple places to create an HTML report in PowerShell. This drastically simplified process enables you to easily drop this coalesced information into places like intranet web servers or email attachments.

One of the best uses of Windows PowerShell is pulling information from a variety of sources and putting it together into an easy to use HTML report. Once the report is assembled, you can quickly drop it onto an intranet web server or even stick it into an email as an attachment.

PowerShell’s “ConvertTo-HTML” command is relatively well-known, but there’s definitely a trick to using it to generate multiple pieces of information. Some people will use multiple successive “ConvertTo-HTML” calls and append it all into a single file as a shortcut. Unfortunately, this doesn’t align with HTML standards, meaning it won’t work on all browsers.

Garth will show you how to write a simple script to leverage this function effectively across all web browsers.
