Noob q for ya: how best to read the created xml file? Default is IE, which makes it look like I'm debugging machine code. Can we do better (for free)?

Thanks for the info so well organized and concise, dmex.

Hi Hogtowner,

I have been thinking about that for the last 4 weeks...The only way I can think of is using the PowerShell pipe commands to either write to HTML or TXT using variables...

winsat formal | ConvertTo-Html -title "PageTitle" > results.htm

Theres infomation about Powershell here: PowerShell Toolbox
