How to send a message with Send-MailMessage cmdLet powershell exchange which uses a html file as a parameter

Before the mailboxes migration E2003 toward E2010 SP2, I have to send a mail which body already exists as a html file.

Here the powershell I currently use :

import-csv d:\path\TestLot.csv  | foreach {Send-MailMessage -To $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -From adminscc@mydomain.com -Subject "Migration " -body "Your mailbox Migration will start in 2 days." -SmtpServer servXXX}

And it is allright !

But, I was asked to use an existing html file instead of my poor : -body "Your mailbox Migration will start in 2 days." 

Does anybody know the way to do this ?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

I have the html code in a variable so i can personalize the mails:

			$htmlcode = '<html><body style="background:#FFFFFF"><head><title>Activaion email</title></head>'
			$htmlcode += '<style type="text/css">'
			$htmlcode += '#HLine { font-size:20px; font-family:Verdana; font-weight: bold; }'
			$htmlcode += '#txt { font-size:12px; font-family:Verdana;}'
			$htmlcode += '</style>'
			$htmlcode += '<img src="/img/HBPMAN0aGcc.gif" width="52" height="52" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />'
			$htmlcode += '<h1 id="HLine">Your BlackBerry account has been created ...</h1>'
			$htmlcode += '<div id="txt"><strong>... Your User Data:</strong><br />'
			$htmlcode += '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><table border="0" id="txt"><tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Username:</strong></td><td>'+$UsrData.Email+'</td></tr>'
			$htmlcode += '<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Activation Password:</strong></td><td>'+$UsrData.pass+'</td></tr></table><br />'
			$htmlcode += '<strong>The activation credentials are valid for just 5 days after receipt of this email!</strong><br /><br/ >'
			$htmlcode += '<strong>... Next Steps: </strong><br /><br />'
			$htmlcode += '<a href= "/bb/doc/EN.pdf">- Activate your Device</a>&nbsp;<br />'
			$htmlcode += '&nbsp;&nbsp;To be able to use your new BlackBerry you need to complete this steps.<br /><br />'
			$htmlcode += '<a href= "/bb/doc/Tips.pdf">- Tips and Tricks for your Device</a><br />'
			$htmlcode += '&nbsp;&nbsp;Tips and Tricks to make your Device experience a success.<br /><br />'
			$htmlcode += '<strong>... in case you require technical support:</strong><br /><br />'
			$htmlcode += 'If you experiance problems with your Device, please contact your local IT-Support.<br /><br />'
			$htmlcode += 'Thank You.'
			$htmlcode += '<br/><div></body></html>'
			Send-MailMessage -to $UsrData.Email -From $from -Body $htmlcode -SmtpServer $smtp -Subject $subject -BodyAsHtml

If you want to make sure the mail is displayed as a HTML Mail add to the send-mailmessage the option 

-BodyAsHtml
Regards
Dan

$body = Get-Content c:\MyFileBody.html

Send-MailMessage -To $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -From adminscc@mydomain.com -Subject "Migration " -body $body -SmtpServer servXXX -BodyAsHtml

Hi, I am having a similar issue trying to get the html from an attachment to output into the body of an email.

Here is how my script is defined.

# Send Mail Settings
$Recipients = @("ExchangeReporting@contoso.com")
$Sender = "ExchangeReports<NoReply@contoso.com>"
$Subject = "Exchange Hardware Report for $((get-date).ToShortDateString())"
# The body is populated with the content of the HTML file at the end of the script.  Any text to include prior to the HTML table
# Should be added here. 
#$Body = "This script was executed from " + (Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition) + " on computer " + $env:computername + "."
$body = Get-Content D:\Scripts\CAS_Hardware.htm
$SMTPServer = "exchange1.contoso.com"

# Send the report as an attachment
Send-MailMessage -To $Recipients -From $Sender -body $body -Subject $Subject -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -Attachments D:\Scripts\Cas_Hardware.htm -BodyAsHtml

I get the email with the attachment, but no body in the email from the htm file.

Any advice?

Thanks Bobby
