Taking a cue from a post on the Windows Powershell Blog, by James Brundage, I decided to create a few notifications for my Exchange environment.
These little “scriptlets” will pop off a notification message in HTML format with a summary of information gathered by each.
The information is not server specific, as I tried to limit the number of instances required. And the content is very basic, but it gets the job done.
You can refer to James’ post above for more information on how to automatically schedule these to run.
You can copy the scripts by hovering over the code block and selecting “view source”
