##Important note#

# When I ran the script, I received error message


#"Send_mailmessage Unable to connect to remote server"
#This was caused by Mcafee blocking the server from sending email. If this happens,

# please configure Mcafee ePO to allow server to send email.


# If you require help with this, please leave a comment
