Domain Controller Monitoring with PowerShell using 0365 SMTP rely

Khan Mansoor KHAN · ‎May 01 2018

Dear Techies,

I am trying to monitor my domain controllers using below powershell script. However, I am unable to associate 0365 SMTP rely server in the script. Since I am not very good at powershell.. It would be really appreciate if someone could assist to resolve this issue.

The script is attached in the post in txt format.

You need to authenticate to use the Office 365 service as a relay

$SMTP.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");

PowerShell requires that a user enter credentials through a dialog to send email. Some devs have found a way to store creds in a text file and accomplish this action.

I have also discovered that creating a MailMessage object using purely strings does not authenticate. The From entry must be a MailAddress object. Personally, I think this to be a bug.
