Re: help getting this script to email a report out of results of NTP time

This worked

$VCServerName = "xxxxxx"

$VC = Connect-VIServer $VCServerName

$allowedDifferenceSeconds = 20

$body = $null

get-view -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name, ConfigManager.DateTimeSystem  | %{

    #get host datetime system   

    $dts = get-view $_.ConfigManager.DateTimeSystem

    #get host time   

    $t = $dts.QueryDateTime()

    #calculate time difference in seconds   

    $s = ( $t - [DateTime]::UtcNow).TotalSeconds

    #check if time difference is too much   

    if([math]::abs($s) -gt $allowedDifferenceSeconds){

        #print host and time difference in seconds       

        $body += ("On " + $_.Name + " the time difference is "  + $s + " seconds`r" | Out-String)

    }

    else{

        $body +=  ("Time on " + $_.Name + " within allowed range`r" | Out-String)

    }

}

$smtpSrv = "xxxxxxx"

$from = "xxxxxxxxx"

$to = "xxxxxxxxxx"

$subject = "VM Host Time Report"

$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage($from,$to,$subject,$body)

$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient($smtpSrv)

$smtp.send($msg)
