Using PDQ Deploy to alert me when PC's log back onto the network

Avatar

Hello,

I love PDQ Deploy!

Is there a way to use PDQ Deploy to alert me when machines join the domain?

I have users who frequently travel and often times I spend too much time calling/email to find out when they will be back on the network.

I'm wondering if I can configure a heartbeat deployment to alert via me email when specific devices (Mac addresses or IP/s) are back on the network.

Thank you

    There's nothing built in, but you could build a package with a PowerShell step. It's been a while since I've used Send-MailMessage, but I think something like this should work:

    $EmailParameters = @{
        "To"         = "you@yourdomain.tld";
        "From"       = "PDQDeploy@yourdomain.tld";
        "Subject"    = "$env:COMPUTERNAME is back online";
        "Body"       = "YAY!";
        "SmtpServer" = "email.yourdmain.tld";
    }

    Send-MailMessage @EmailParameters
