Inventory Scan Trigger Email

Avatar
John Dole

We are new to PDQ - thanks in advance for any advice.

We have a group of computers that are not set for auto reboots for patches etc and they frequently "forget" to reboot.  Is there a way on a scan if the uptime is over x days to trigger a task - ie email to the logged in user to reboot - perhaps pull email address from logged in user?

Thanks

John

    In pdq deploy create a dynamic group of computers that lists computers with uptime over your wanted amount.

     

    Create a new package with a MESSAGE step. In this message type what you want the user to see, for example: "Please reboot your computer, it has been online for 30 days without being rebooted".

     

    Then right click the package and create a schedule so that it runs when you would like (maybe every day?) and set the target as the dynamic group you made.
