You probably need to create a .bat file to launch Powershell with your script as an argument. See example 2 here:

Then give PCNS the path to your .bat file.

hi frank. i am not sure if that will work.

check out the following knowledgebase articles.

http://nam-en.apc.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1784 (this is for XP, 2000, etc) but I think still applies.

hope that helps!

Hi,

I tried also a CMD and BAT file for execution.

Here is the ps code: ...
$Emailserver = "exchange.xxxxxxx"
$mail = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$mail.From = APC-PowerChute@xxxxxx
$mail.To.Add("it-hotline@xxxx")
$mail.Subject = "Check the power on: $env:computername"
$mail.Body = "ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check Power on server $env:computername!!!!"
$smtp = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient($Emailserver)
$smtp.Send($mail);

Maybe I need a module?

Hi,

here the solution:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -NoProfile -NonInteractive -file c:\scripts\APCSendEmail.ps1

Best

This may be due to restrictions on running unsigned powershell scripts.

To view the current policy:

PS C:\ Get-ExecutionPolicy

To change the setting:

PS C:\ Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted etc (to view options run help Set-ExecutionPolicy)

Then create a .cmd file to run the script:

Powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden c:\.ps1
