I am trying to get this work with gmail. Would it be possible to provide a working example I could use?

Is there anyway to modify this so it wont alert you about hidden updates?

Should be pretty easy using something like this:

Give it a try, if you get stuck I will post an example.

Is there anyway that we could add a listing of the machine’s IP address in the header along beside the computer name?

Have been tinkering with it, but no luck thus far.

for those who need SMTP authentication …
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername”) = RemoteSMTPUser
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword”) = RemoteSMTPPass
objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item (“http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate”) = 1

by the way: … great script *thumbs up*

Paulie, this sounds like a very handy script! I am not script junkie though and I am not sure how to add SMTP authentication so that the server can send e-mail. Would you mind pasting in the code or updating the zip with that?

I would lovvve to be able to use this to keep on top of updates on all my servers, but without SMTP authentication, I can’t send e-mail!

Thanks soo much. I hope you, or someone still checks out this post.

Paulie,

When you say “could be extended for SMTP auth as well,” what does it take to use, say, Gmail to send? I don’t see a variable for username and password for SMTP auth.

Very nice feature.
I have tested it on Windows Server 2008 as well, and it seems to work OK. I’ll asume this will be the same on Vista

I have updated the script to include support for remote SMTP servers.

Edit the variables at the top of the script to specify a server. Could be extended for SMTP auth as well.
