ok this works

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

smtp_server = '172.17.1.5'
smtp_user = 'robertkwild@domain.com'
smtp_connection = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server)
email_body = 'This is a test email sent using Python.'
email_message = MIMEText(email_body)
email_message['Subject'] = 'Test Email'
email_message['From'] = 'robertkwild@domain.com'
email_message['To'] = 'robert.wild@domain.com'
smtp_connection.sendmail(smtp_user, 'robert.wild@domain.com', email_message.as_string())
smtp_connection.quit()

but as ive already stated the “to” address cant i use that in the “smtp_connection.sendmail”

thanks,
rob

EDIT - i deleted the “to” line and still works

this is throwing a syntax error, can you help me whats wrong with this command

une = subprocess.run(f'powershell.exe $cred = Import-CliXml -Path C:\\python\\cred.xml; Get-aduser -credential $cred -server {form.dom.data} -identity {form.un.data} -properties * | select-object -expandproperty mail)

basically i want to save that powershell command into variable “une” which is the usernames email address ie robert.wild@domain.com

thanks,
rob

you missed closing a single quote after “main” in the end.

ok im trying to grab the email from powershell get-aduser and its worked but i get a whitespace with my result as well

how do i get rid of the white space please

une = subprocess.run(f'powershell.exe $cred = Import-CliXml -Path C:\\python\\cred.xml; Get-aduser -credential $cred -server {dom} -identity {un} -properties * | select-object -expandproperty mail', capture_output=True, text=True)
>>> print(une.stdout)
robertkwild@gmail.com

>>>

thanks,
rob

une.stdout.strip() will remove all whitespace at the beginning and end of the string.

wow got it all to work, heres the end result

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import subprocess

un = "robert.wild"
dom = "dc01.robo84.net"
cnp = "Password01!"

une = subprocess.run(f'powershell.exe $cred = Import-CliXml -Path C:\\python\\cred.xml; Get-aduser -credential $cred -server {dom} -identity {un} -properties * | select-object -expandproperty mail', capture_output=True, text=True, shell=False)

smtp_server = '172.17.1.5'
smtp_user = 'robertkwild@domain.com'
smtp_connection = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server)
email_body = f'hello {un} your new password is {cnp} for {dom}'
email_message = MIMEText(email_body)
email_message['Subject'] = 'password change'
email_message['From'] = 'robertkwild@domain.com'
smtp_connection.sendmail(smtp_user, {une.stdout}, email_message.as_string())
smtp_connection.quit()
