Running Powershell script after computer reboot ?

itengineer

How can I configure the SAM to run a custom PowerShell script to gather event logs and send emails after the server reboot?

This is the script:

$Timestamp = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId((Get-Date), 'India Standard Time')
$Text = "Timelines in IST"

$paramGetWinEvent1 = @{
 FilterHashtable = @{ logname = 'Application' }
 MaxEvents = 10
}

$paramGetWinEvent2 = @{
 FilterHashtable = @{ logname = 'Security' }
 MaxEvents = 10
}

$EmailBody = get-winevent @paramGetWinEvent1 | Format-List -Property TimeCreated, Message
$EmailBody += get-winevent @paramGetWinEvent2 | Format-List -Property TimeCreated, Message

$EmailFrom = "servermonitor@accenture.com"
$EmailTo = "dotnet-helpers@accenture.com"
$EmailSubject = "Server Login Notification"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.sendgrid.net"
[string][ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]$Username = "azure_ad8e8e784erf789.com"
[string][ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]$pwd = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
$pwd1 = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $pwd -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $Username, $pwd1
$SMTPPort = 587

$paramSendMailMessage = @{
 From = $EmailFrom
 To = $EmailTo
 Subject = $EmailSubject
 Body = ($EmailBody + "($Text)" + "($Timestamp)" | Out-String)
 SmtpServer = $SMTPServer
 Port = $SMTPPort
 Credential = $cred
}

Send-MailMessage @paramSendMailMessage

Thank you.

1. Add the "Run an external Program" action to the alert.

2. In the file path, enter the path to powershell.exe followed by -File and the path to the .ps1 file.

i.e. "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File C:\ScripTxt\test.ps1"

3. Finish saving the action and alert as normal.

Note: The path must be above. Alerting cannot run the .ps1 file by itself. Powershell.exe be specified.
