All are ok only I need the certificate Template name. Given the Script below.

* * *

$Computers = Get-Content D:\Biswajit-temp\dc\_list.txt -ReadCount 0  
$CompNum= $Computers.count  
$Today = (Get-Date).ToString(“yyyy/MM/dd“)  
$EightWeeks= (Get-Date).AddDays(+100).ToString(“yyyy/MM/dd“)  
$a = “”  
$a = $a + “BODY{background-color:#d6eaf8;font-family:verdana;font-size:8pt;}”  
$a = $a + “TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}”  
$a = $a + “TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:thistle}”  
$a = $a + “TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:palegoldenrod}”  
$a = $a + “”  
$i=0  
Clear-content D:\Biswajit-temp\CertReport.htm  
while($i –lt $CompNum)  
{  
Write-Host “Working on:” $Computers[$i]  
$Certs = invoke-command –ComputerName $Computers[$i] –ScriptBlock {Get-ChildItem Cert:\LocalMachine\My -Recurse}  
$CertCount=$certs.count  
$j=0  
while($j –lt $CertCount)  
{  
if (($Certs[$j].NotAfter –gt $Today) -and ($Certs[$j].NotAfter –lt $EightWeeks) )  
{  
$Certs[$j] | ConvertTo-Html -head $a -title “Certificate Expiry Information” -property PSComputerName,Subject,NotAfter,@{Label=“Expires In (Days)”;Expression={($\_.NotAfter - (Get-Date)).Days}},FriendlyName,Thumbprint,SerialNumber \>\> D:\Biswajit-temp\CertReport.htm  
}  
++$j  
}  
++$i

}

if  
((Get-Content “D:\Biswajit-temp\CertReport.htm”) –eq $Null)  
{  
Write-Host “N/A”  
}  
else  
{

$body = Get-Content D:\Biswajit-temp\CertReport.htm -Raw
