A little bit of automation - emailing users automatically when their machine shows up on a report

[francisswest]

With the lockdown, people have been neglecting some basic computer maintenance, including rebooting their computers. I am curious if LS has a way to, when a report is run, automatically email usernames that appear in said report with a snippit about their computer needing to be rebooted.

We already have a report that gets uptime, so I would think it would be fairly easy to parse the username from those assets to a secondary action.

Anyone done something like this?

Hello Francis,

You would need to set up a deployment package to send a notification to users/computers. Deployment packages can be sent to a list of computers that are returned by a report.
A package can be executed based upon a schedule you define, daily, weekly, etc. Or you can also run a deployment after scanning. In this way it will be only executed after a computer scan, if that asset is being returned by the report you have.
