What is PowerShell?

PowerShell is a cross-platform task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language. Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), and accepts and returns .NET objects. This fundamental change brings entirely new tools and methods for automation.

Getting Started

• Open the send_email.ps1 file in a PowerShell editor on a Windows machine.
• Update the $smtpServer, $smtpPort, $smtpUsername, $smtpPassword, $fromAddress, $toAddress, and $subject variables with your SMTP server information and email addresses.
• Run the script to send a test email to the specified email address.
