Powershell write to Word document

12 February,2013 by Tom Collins

Question: I need to create  a snapshot of server cpu  information and write into a Microsoft Word Document using Powershell . I’ve read   the Powershell to HTML - SQL Server DBA  post , but the requirement is to output to a  Word Document.

I already have the code to iterate through the server list. The missing part is once on the server , obtaining the server cpu information , creating the Word document and writing into the Word document

Answer: The script below is a template for obtaining server information , creating the Microsoft Word document with a combject and  writing to the Word document with Powershell.

In this example – the $cpu_usage variable capture the current CPU usage. In a similar way you can obtain memory and disk usage details

 

$cpu = gwmi –computername $Server win32_Processor 
$cpu_usage = "{0:0.0} %" -f $cpu.LoadPercentage 

$word = New-Object -ComObject "Word.application"
$doc = $word.Documents.Add()
$doc.Activate()
 
$word.Selection.TypeText("CPU Percentage: $cpu_usage")
$word.Selection.TypeParagraph()
 
$file = "C:\projects\testing\laboratory\test.doc"
$doc.SaveAs([REF]$file)
$Word.Quit()
