Dump Output of a script to Html

That look is a result of the default CSS used, which displays column headers (<th>) in bold and centered. The proper way is to supply a different CSS, but you can also use direct formatting instead by replacing some of the created tags:

Get-WmiObject win32_service |
  select-object DisplayName, State, Startmode |
  sort startmode |
  ConvertTo-HTML |
  % { $_.Replace('<th>', '<td><strong>').Replace('</th>', '</strong></td>') } |
  Out-File C:\Test.htm

Select allOpen in new window

The column width is already correct, as that width is needed to display the largest text contained in the column.

$a = "<style>"
$a = $a + "BODY{background-color:peachpuff;}"
$a = $a + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}"
$a = $a + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}"
$a = $a + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}"
$a = $a + "</style>"

Get-WmiObject win32_service | select-object DisplayName, State, Startmode | sort startmode | ConvertTo-HTML -head $a| Out-File C:\Test.htm

Invoke-Expression C:\Test.htm

the script above worked fine....the problem there are some services that are set to start automatic, but with Delayed start.....
The script will show them Stopped as status (which is True), but does not show Delayed Start

how can I make it show that?

Thanks

"the script above" refers to http:#a39742870 (mine) or http:#39742878 (yours)? Because I would tell your approach "pretty" in any way ;-).

I want the script to show Delayed Start

I also need computer name to be displayed on Top

I can write computer name on the script , but I do not know how to display in HTML

Get-WmiObject win32_service -computername Mycomputer01, etc,,,,,,

Well, getting the computer name on top isn't difficult:

Get-WmiObject win32_service |
  select-object DisplayName, State, Startmode |
  sort startmode |
  ConvertTo-HTML -Fragment -PreContent "<h1>$env:ComputerName</h1>" |
  % { $_ -Replace '<th>', '<td><strong>' -Replace '</th>', '</strong></td>'  } |
  Out-File C:\Test.htm

Select allOpen in new window

Getting "Automatic (Delayed)" can't be done with WMI or the Get-Service cmdlet, sadly. We have to read the registry.

This is one approach adding a "Delayed" column:

Get-WmiObject win32_service |
  % {
    Add-Member -PassThru -InputObject $_ NoteProperty Delayed $(
      if ((Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:System\CurrentControlSet\Services\$($_.Name)").DelayedAutoStart -eq 1) { "x" }
    )
  } | 
  select-object DisplayName, State, Startmode, Delayed |
  sort startmode, DisplayName |
  ConvertTo-HTML -Fragment -PreContent "<h1>$env:ComputerName</h1>" |
  % { $_ -Replace '<th>', '<td><strong>' -Replace '</th>', '</strong></td>'  } |
  Out-File C:\Test.htm

Select allOpen in new window

That's what I found out ...what about the computer name, if you can stick it in HTML

It's there, in big letters.

Yes please...at the top of the HTML page

Again: Look at my code. -PreContent "<h1>$env:ComputerName</h1>" is doing that.

Excellent, if you can put borders around columns and rows (like Excel) will be perfect.

Thanks

your script worked great when I run it for the local computer, but when I run it against remote computer, I get errors

oops I guess I see it now

Sorry I cannot guess it...
when I run it for the local computer, but when I run it against remote computer, I get errors

I am running this script, when I add Get-WmiObject win32_service -computername Remotecomputername

I get errors

$style = @"
  <style>
    TABLE {border-collapse: collapse}
    TD {border-width: 1px;padding: 5px;border-style: dotted;border-color: black}
  </style>
"@

Get-WmiObject win32_service |
  % {
    Add-Member -PassThru -InputObject $_ NoteProperty Delayed $(
      if ((Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:System\CurrentControlSet\Services\$($_.Name)").DelayedAutoStart -eq 1) { "x" }
    )
  } |
  select-object DisplayName, State, Startmode, Delayed |
  sort startmode, DisplayName |
  ConvertTo-HTML  -PreContent "<h1>$env:computername</h1>$style" |
  % { $_ -Replace '<th>', '<td><strong>' -Replace '</th>', '</strong></td>'  } |
  Out-File C:\Test.html

Of course it does not work remote. It is set up to access the local registry, and inserts the local computername as title.
Preparing a script to run against another PC remotely is always a different beast. If you have such requirement, please state it from start next time, as we (Experts) often try to give the most simple solution.

Qlemo

No problem, I will post a new question about that. Thanks for your help

Excellent!
