Initialize Settings Instructions

==================================

The servers shown in this report come from either a path\file you designate or are pulled from Active Directory. You have the option to pick

your preference by editing $ServerNameOption in the Options section below. For example:

$ServerNameOption = "File"

Set this to "File" if you want to report only on servers listed in a file, otherwise the server names will be pulled from Active

Directory. When set to "File" the server names will be read from the file you enter for $ServerNameFile in the section following this one.

This is good if you only want to report on servers in a certain OU, are mission critical, or are ones that you are personally responsible

for their uptime and reporting. The report will sort the list of servers, by name, automatically.

NOTE: If $ServerNameOption is not set to "File" Active Directory will be queried for the list of servers.

$ServerNameFile = "C:\Admin\ServerList.txt"

Set this to the path and filename of a file that lists servers, one per line.

NOTE: Be sure this is correct as this script does not check to verify if the path and file exists.

The various $BGColor schemes are for the background colors for the HTML report. You can specify different colors for OnLine, Offline, etc.

You can choose "Red", "Green", etc. or you can choose the color codes. For example: $BGColorColumn = "#BFC3C4" sets the color of the column

headers to "#BFC3C4" which is a grey color.

NOTE: HTML color codes can be found here: http://html-color-codes.info

$SendEmail = ""

Set this to "True" if you want to receive an email with the report included. Also edit the To, From, and SmtpServer setting in the

$smtpsettings group below to reflect your specific email settings and preferences.

$ShowOnScreen = "True"

Set this to "True" if you want to show the results in the Powershell window as it runs. You will be prompted to press [ENTER] to

exit the script when it is finished.

$ShowHTMLOnScreen = ""

Set this to "True" if you want to see the HTML report on the screen after the script has run. This is good if you do not want the

report sent via email.

$ReportOutFile = "C:\Admin\ServerUptimeReport.html"

This is the path and filename of the HTML report this script will generate.

NOTE: Be sure the path exists as this script does not verify. If the file exists it is overwritten.
