Hello,
I've been trying to run this snapshot powercli script and it has been working, but recently stopped. We get the email, but no body in the email.
##These are the properties assigned to the table via the ConvertTo-HTML cmdlet
$tableProperties = "<style>"
$tableProperties = $tableProperties + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}"
$tableProperties = $tableProperties + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 5px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}"
$tableProperties = $tableProperties + "TD{text-align:center;border-width: 1px;padding: 5px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}"
$tableProperties = $tableProperties + "</style>"
##The script automatically connects to the server if needed. The $server variable needs to
#be changed if the server name changes. (Change <yourServerName> to the name of your
#vSphere server!)
$server = "svr-vcenter-01"
If (!(connect-viserver $server -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).IsConnected)
{
Write-Host "Connecting to server:" $server
connect-viserver $server -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable err
If($err)
{
Write-Host "Error in connecting to server, please check server name." -ForegroundColor Red
break
}
Write-Host " Complete" -ForegroundColor Green
}

Write-Host "Looking for snapshots"
$date = get-date
$datefile = get-date -uformat '%d-%m-%Y-%H%M%S'
$filename = "C:\vmware\powercli\reports\VMwareSnapshots_" + $datefile + ".htm"
##Get VM's, look for snapshots on those VM's. This takes a while because the get-vm cmdlet
#is not quick.

##Send email with generated report attached##
Write-Host "Sending email with report:" $filename + "attached"

if I run in powercli the error is:
