Toast Message - Reboot Computer When Patched

[Andy_Sismey]

Its always handy to ask the User to reboot once the install has finished, here is a simple TOAST message with Image (445 x 266) to add to the end of the deployment...

Edit the following Powershell with the message, image location etc

copy-Item "***Path To Images***\images\reboot.png" -Destination "C:\temp"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
$app = '{1AC14E77-02E7-4E5D-B744-2EB1AE5198B7}\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe'
[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager, Windows.UI.Notifications, ContentType = WindowsRuntime]
 
 
$Template = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastTemplateType]::ToastImageAndText01
 
#Gets the Template XML so we can manipulate the values
[xml]$ToastTemplate = ([Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::GetTemplateContent($Template).GetXml())
 
[xml]$ToastTemplate = @"
<toast launch="app-defined-string">
  <visual>
    <binding template="ToastGeneric">
    <text>Computer Reboot Required</text>
 
    <image placement="inline" src="c:\temp\reboot.png" />
       
      <text>Please reboot your computer to complete the installation of NEW Features and Important Updates.</text>
      
    </binding>
  </visual>
  <actions>
    <action activationType="background" content="Close" arguments="later"/>
  </actions>
</toast>
"@
 
$ToastXml = New-Object -TypeName Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument
$ToastXml.LoadXml($ToastTemplate.OuterXml)
 
$notify = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier($app)
 
$notify.Show($ToastXml)

Th Command Required :

powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "\\Server\defaultpackageshare$\software\messages\Reboot.ps1"

Very nice script.

Is it possible to set the notification to run when user notificatios is set to do not disturb?

In "imab" script its possible to set.

<Option Name="Scenario" Type="alarm" />

This option apply on your script?

Adding this line do not resolve.

  <ToastContent>
    <ToastContent ToastScenariotype="Alarm"/> 
  </ToastContent>

Notifications do not appear and are only in the notifications menu.

I found a way to notify with focus assistant enabled.

Use "scenario="alarm" in "toast launch" and disable Alarm Audio with "<audio silent="true"/>"

copy-Item "***Path To Images***\images\reboot.png" -Destination "C:\temp"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
$app = '{1AC14E77-02E7-4E5D-B744-2EB1AE5198B7}\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe'
[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager, Windows.UI.Notifications, ContentType = WindowsRuntime]
 
 
$Template = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastTemplateType]::ToastImageAndText01
 
#Gets the Template XML so we can manipulate the values
[xml]$ToastTemplate = ([Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::GetTemplateContent($Template).GetXml())
 
[xml]$ToastTemplate = @"
<toast launch="app-defined-string" scenario="alarm">
  <visual>
    <binding template="ToastGeneric">
    <text>Computer Reboot Required</text>
 
    <image placement="inline" src="c:\temp\reboot.png" />
       
      <text>Please reboot your computer to complete the installation of NEW Features and Important Updates.</text>
      
    </binding>
  </visual>
  <actions>
    <action activationType="background" content="Close" arguments="later"/>
  </actions>
  <audio silent="true"/>
</toast>

$ToastXml = New-Object -TypeName Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument
$ToastXml.LoadXml($ToastTemplate.OuterXml)
 
$notify = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier($app)
 
$notify.Show($ToastXml)
