Powershell script for multiple URLs
Homework assignment? ;-)
Use Invoke-WebRequest.
For example:
$Uris = 'www.site.one','www.site.two'
$Uris |
ForEach-Object{
$Status = "" # entirely optional if you don't care whay things failed
Try{
$Response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $_ -ErrorAction Stop
$Status = $Response.StatusCode
# Do something with the body part of the response
}
Catch{
$Status = $Response.StatusCode
# react to error here
}
}
How you deal with the "output" of the operation is up to you. Are you looking for specific data found in a HTML tag? Or just dumping the entire body of the response into a file?
What is it you want to save to a text file????
This might help you understand what the response from the Invoke-WebRequest contains and how to deal with the various parts.

@Vin-5708, You can check the snippet shared as an attachment to this response. The following snippet would help you get the outputs in both .csv and .txt formats
Note: Make sure to update the extension of the attached file to .ps1 from .txt.
Hope this helps.

@soumi-MSFT Quick question, as per your script you attached (urlstatuscheck.txt), I tried it and I noticed for those Unable to reach websites, it does not show on CSV File, it only shows on PowerShell console in red font color. If we want to show those Unable to Reach website in Excel CSV file, what do we need to add on the script please? I'm also new to Powershell. Thanks
Please help me on this it would be grateful,
Just want another help that I have 3 scripts which I have saved as one program(ps1)... Thing is how to get the powershell output screen as email (not as text file or any other format) is there a way becoz i have a 3 different programs combined as one and output runs successfully but sending mail should be the output as email
You can attach the saved output (i.e., a file) to an e-mail by using the Send-MailMessage cmdlet.
@Vin-5708, You can add the following snippet at the end of the script that I earlier shared as attachment:
$username = "user-email-address"
$password = "password"
$sstr = ConvertTo-SecureString -string $password -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $sstr
$smtpServer = "smtp.office365.com" #if using Exchange Online, or put down the preferred smtp server address
$sendTo = "user-email-address"
$sentFrom = $username
$messageSubject = "Test message"
$body = $uriList | ConvertTo-Html | Out-String
Send-MailMessage -To $sendTo `
-From $sentFrom `
-Subject $messageSubject `
-Body $body `
-BodyAsHtml `
-smtpserver $smtpServer `
-usessl `
-Credential $cred `
-Port 587
This would help in sending the report in an email. Also, I am attaching the complete script as attachment to this response.
Note: Make sure to update the extension of the attached file to .ps1 from .txt.
Hope this helps.

It looks to me as if he wants the web page to be presented as the message body in the e-mail.
If that's the case he wants the "$response.RawContent" property or maybe "$response.Content", but neither of those is (probably) going to be what he thinks they are . . . unless the web page is a very simple one.
Thank you so much it worked
But, I have script of simple get services listing name status of our production server while sending email the table looks unaligned is there any way make it aligned
How about posting the relevant parts of your code rather than having us guess at what you're already doing?
The simple answer is to pipe the results of your get-service|select-object into the ConvertTo-HTML cmdlet and include the result as the message body in a message formatted as HTML in Send-MailMessage.
