      Hi,
Does this work with multiple dpmservers?

param(
[string[]]$DPMServer = @('DPMS1','DPMS2','DPMS3','DPMS4'),
[String]$OutputFile="c:\temp\reports\backup-schedule.htm")

    Target a DPM Server

      How do I specify the target DPM server within this script?  I currently run 15 DPM servers and would like to build and save custom scripts that I can run to get a schedule from each DPM server. 
Thanks for your help and for posting the PowerShell commands included thus far.

      Never mind.  I found that at the top, where the param is set, where you have...

param(
    [String]$DPMServer=$null,

...I changed this to...

param(
    [String]$DPMServer="MyDPMServer.MyDomain.Com",

I didn't include quotes earlier, but found I needed to include quotes around it.

      Appreciate any help I get below, although the html report does seem to run, can anyone help I am using uk date format so wonder if its something to do with this.

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At dpm-schedule.ps1:52 char:17
+ ...             $TimeTable.Item($ts) = $TimeTable.Item($ts) + $Protection ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull
