Description

The New-SCSMEmailTemplate cmdlet creates an email template for Service Manager.

Examples

Example 1: Create an email template for a change to a printer

PS C:\>$PrinterClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name "Microsoft.AD.Printer"
PS C:\> $Message = 'Printer $Context/Property[''Type=Windows!Microsoft.AD.Printer'']/PrinterName$ has been updated'
PS C:\> $ManagementPack = Get-SCSMManagementPack -Name "ServiceManager.ConfigurationManagement.Configuration"
PS C:\> $Language = [System.Globalization.CultureInfo]"en-US"
PS C:\> $Encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII
PS C:\> New-SCSMEmailTemplate -Class $PrinterClass -DisplayName "Printer Email Template" -Body $Message -Description "A template for printer notifications" -Encoding $Encoding -Language $Language -ManagementPack $ManagementPack -Subject $Message

The first command gets a class named Microsoft.AD.Printer by using the Get-SCSMClass cmdlet, and then stores it in the $PrinterClass variable.

The second command creates a message for the email, and stores it in the $Message variable. This example uses the same string as the subject and the body of the email.

The third command gets a management pack in which to save this template by using the Get-SCSMManagementPack cmdlet, and then stores it in the $ManagementPack variable.

The fourth and fifth commands store values for language and encoding in the $Language and $Encoding variables.

The final command creates an email template that applies when a change occurs to a printer. The command uses values that were created in the first five commands.
