Under which account does the scheduled task run?

How do you connect to the vSphere Server in the scheduled task? VICredentialStoreItem, hard-coded...?

Did you suppress all 'interactivity'? For example did you disable Depreciation Warning message?

Is there any reason why you are using that rather old PowerCLI version?
That is what the VDS plugin is telling you.

To allow the plugin to detect the guest OS name, requires that VMware Tools are installed inside the guest OS.
Apparently they aren't on the VM you tested against.

[infra3]

Under which account does the scheduled task run? - one service account

How do you connect to the vSphere Server in the scheduled task? VICredentialStoreItem, hard-coded...? no the account has access to vcenter when it runs automatically connects

Did you suppress all 'interactivity'? For example did you disable Depreciation Warning message?   - yes

Is there any reason why you are using that rather old PowerCLI version?  - it was configured earlier not changed , it was working  recently there exchange migration happened 2010 to 2016 and this issue started and they cannot find a reason / fix
That is what the VDS plugin is telling you. -  how to use instead of old PowerCLI

To allow the plugin to detect the guest OS name, requires that VMware Tools are installed inside the guest OS.
Apparently they aren't on the VM you tested against.     - Tools are available

Let's take this step by step.
Can you first check that sending an email is working, from an interactive session and from a scheduled job?

Use something like the following to perform the tests.

$sMail = @{

   To = 'you@domain'

   From = 'me@domain'

   Subject = 'Test Email'

   SmtpServer = 'mail.domain'

}

Send-MailMessage @sMail

[infra3]

Yes it is working fine .

When I ran vcheck from vsphere cli I will get complete report in html to mail

[LucD]

"Yes it is working fine ." -> You mean from a scheduled job?

[infra3]

Manual working fine from power cli

schedule not working

[LucD]

Ok, we can conlcude that there is an issue with sending mail via SMTP to the mail server with the account the scheduled task is using.

You said earlier that the scheduled task uses a system account, can you try with the account you use to run the script in interactive mode?

[infra3]

Schedule of test mail works now , just I deleted and create task again .

[bechaker]

Send the script to see where the problem is

[infra3]

Script working fine only through schedule it gives error , its vcheck report

[sjesse]

How are you scheduling it? For the action you should call powershell.exe and then for the arguments you should have -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File C:\path\to\vcheck.ps1. You also want to make sure that you are letting the schedule run while the user isn't logged in, but don't check the do not store password, as I've had problems with the vcheck . They should look kinda like this

I've seen that report blank out like that if you don't have the scheduled task setup correctly.

[infra3]

Thanks , it worked

[infra3]

It works only when ran manually from schedule task , automatic schedule still not shows
