Change output location

[Pan1n]

Hi all,

i hope someone can help me, i got this script from internet CPReport and the result is good, but if run the script from tasklist windows, the out put file will be in c:\windows\system32. i want output file on other folder.

If i open the script ther is 2 command that need to change:

$FullPath = ((Get-Location).Path + "\" + $FileName + " $(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").png")

$HTMLPage | Out-File ((Get-Location).Path + "\$vCenterServerName $(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").html")

I try to change

$FullPath = (d:\xxx + "\" + $FileName + " $(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").png")

Error

Try like this

$FullPath = "d:\xxx\$($FileName) $(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').png"

Thanks LucD it`s working.

but for the HTML page it`s not working.

the command is like this:

$HTMLPage | Out-File ((Get-Location).Path + "\$vCenterServerName $(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").html")

What i already try to change is become : $HTMLPage | Out-File (D:\ReportVMware\Cluster + "$($vCenterServerName) $(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").html")

Error:

You are making the same mistake again by not using a string.

$HTMLPage | Out-File "$((Get-Location).Path)\$vCenterServerName $(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').html"

Hi LucD,

Yes i missing the string, but if using your command the HTML file will save in get-location path,but i want to save HTML page on other folder like d:\xx\xx\vcentername 20201216.html.

Thanks for your help

[LucD · Accepted solution]

Then you should do

$HTMLPage | Out-File "d:\xx\xx\$vCenterServerName $(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').html"

or

$path = 'd:\xx\xx'
$HTMLPage | Out-File "$path\$vCenterServerName $(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').html"
