Automate Emailing Multiple CSV Files with PowerShell: A Guide to Streamlined Operations

Creating multiple CSV files using PowerShell is a common requirement among IT administrators who manage user data. However, the task doesn't end with creating these files. The next challenge is sending them to the appropriate recipients via email. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to automate the process of emailing multiple CSV files created by a PowerShell foreach loop.

Understanding the Problem

You've used PowerShell to generate multiple CSV reports, possibly for mailbox statistics or user data, and now you want those reports sent out automatically via email. You might wonder if you should create another foreach loop to send each file, or if it’s better to compress the files into a single ZIP file for emailing.

In this guide, we’ll provide a clear solution to help you send those CSV files seamlessly through email after they’ve been created. Let’s break this down step-by-step.

Step 1: Set Up Your PowerShell Environment

Before diving into emailing the files, ensure you prepare your environment correctly. You'll need to connect to the Exchange server and set up the required variables.

Step 2: Create and Export CSV Files

Next, you’ll want to generate the CSV files for each user's mailbox statistics. We use a foreach loop to gather the necessary details, including display names and mailbox sizes, and export them as CSV files.
