Re: get count of desktops from a pool

Actually I'm building scripts sequentially and as this function($ergs=(Get-Pool | Select Pool_id,@{N="vdesk";E={$_ | Get-DesktopVM | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count}},maximumcount)) is the first real custom code, I haven't much to show yet.

Currently I have only:

<Adding View cmdlets>

$chk=0

$outfile="D:\outtmp.txt"

Connect-VIServer -Server server.domain.net -Force >>null

$ergs=(Get-Pool | Select Pool_id,@{N="vdesk";E={$_ | Get-DesktopVM | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count}},maximumcount)

(below is just coded here to see the direction I want to go..(no idea if it works atm))

$lim=$ergs.count

for ($i=0;$i -lt $lim;$i++)

{

     [int]$cur=$ergs[$i].maximumCount*0.05

     $erg=$ergs[$i].maximumCount-$ergs[$i].vdesk

     if ($erg -lt $cur)

     {

          echo "Pool $ergs[$i].Pool_id is reaching its limit, currently $ergs[$i].vdesk of $ergs[$i].maximumCount in use!" >> $outfile

          $chk=1

     }

}

(end of firstcode here)

function sendmail($body)

{

    $SmtpClient = new-object system.net.mail.smtpClient

    $MailMessage = New-Object system.net.mail.mailmessage

    $SmtpClient.Host = "server_ip"

    $SmtpClient.Port = 25

    $mailmessage.from = "test@test.com"

    $mailmessage.To.add("test2@test.com")

    $mailmessage.Subject = “Pool monitoring”

    $MailMessage.IsBodyHtml = $true

    $mailmessage.Body = "$body"

    $smtpclient.Send($mailmessage)

}

$body=(Get-Content $outfile)  -join '<BR>'

if ($chk -eq 1)

{

     sendmail $body

}

del null

del $outfile

exit

PS: how the hell can I use the code highlighting here?
