$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$mail = $outlook.CreateItem(0)
$mail.subject = "New User $samaccountname"
$mail.body = "See attached for user properties"

$mail.attachments.add($file)
try {
$mail.send()
} catch {clear; echo "Failed to send email, let IT know this failed"; pause; exit}
