  .SCRIPT USAGE NOTES

  Before generating the report select option 1) from the root menu

  and connect to target UCS Domains.  Cache domain credentials after

  connecting to speed up future script executions.

  You must have an active internet connection to view the report as it

  streams some javascript and css files to build report

  Use the UsedCache, RunReport, Silent, and Email switch options to automate

  script execution (especially if scheduling script as a task)

  Ex: .\UCS_Health_Check_v2.5.ps1 -UseCached -RunReport -Silent -Email user@domain.com

.REPORT USAGE NOTES

The generated html report supports multiple domains worth of data.  Use the Domain

dropdown at the top of the page to switch between UCS Domains.  Some of the table

entries can be clicked for a more detailed view.  There are help icons with tooltips to

help explain the capabilities of each table.

Include your script here:

Hello,

I use this script for a long time,
My company just changed my computer,
The script still works, but now I miss some fields like the FI models and Blades that are empty.
I guess this comes from the installation of .NET (4.7.1) but I am not sure.
Have you ever had this problem ?
Do you know what is required to install prerequisites?

thank for your help,

Thanks for sharing. v2.5 needs updating to support the Intel Scalable Processors found with B200 M5 blades, for example. In the meantime, I just commented out the CPU model parsing on line 787 Works a charm.

Im attempting to generate a report using the 2.4 healthcheck offline tool but it stops and asks for:

cmdlet Get-UcsEquipmentManufacturingDef at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
EquipmentTpmCapProvider:

Its waiting for some kind of input but I'm not sure what.
