So from the ‘oh my god I can’t believe I hadn’t found this earlier’ corner comes this: PowerShell 2.0 ships with a new cmdlet called Send-MailMessage. Why is this kinda sorta a big deal (at least to me, haha)? PSCX will be deprecating the Send-SmtpMail cmdlet (that you may or may not have been using profusely, I know I have) in the next major revision. So it’s time to start going through scripts and updating as needed. Thankfully, the syntax is very similar. The only changes that I found I needed to make were:
- Change –AttachmentLiteralPath/-AttachmentPath to –Attachments
- Change –SmtpHost to –SmtpServer
