When producing reports via the TapeTrack Command Line Interface programs, you may wish to send these reports via an email attachment.

This can be achieved using the following methods:

1. Via a command line SMTP agenet such as blat or mailx.
2. Via the Send Email action of Windows Scheduler.
3. Via the TapeTrack SMTP PowerShell script.

The TapeTrack SMTP PowerShell Script allows files to be sent to one or more users via SMTP. The script is installed as part of the TapeTrack Server Utilities Package.

The TapeTrack SMTP PowerShell Script is digitally signed with GazillaByte's code signing certificate, but by default Windows disallows the invocation of all PowerShell scripts.

To enabled signed scripts:

1. Open Windows PowerShell as the Windows Administrator.
2. Run the command Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

The PowerShell script takes the following arguments:

1. config this is the path to the configuration file.
2. smtpserver this is the IP address or name of the SMTP Server.
3. smtpport this is the port of the SMTP Server.
4. smtpuser this is the userid of the user used to authenticate on the SMTP Server.
5. smtppw this is the password of the user used to authenticate on the SMTP Server.
6. smtpssl This enables SSL encryption for the email if required by the SMTP Server.

Powershell.exe -File TMSSSMTP.ps1 -smtpuser tapetrack@gazillabyte.com -smtppw mypassword -smtpssl
