While putting together a few Automox Worklets, I found I wanted a quick way to tell whether a worklet had been processed by a remote agent (vs. combing through logs 😇).
I cobbled together a hasty email snippet to drop into the Evaluation Code window (this prolly should be placed before any real evaluation code block to ensure exit codes don’t overstep this snippet).
🙈🙉🙊
Example email:
Evaluation code:
<# Grab some system variables to pump into the email alert (as an example). #>
$Hostname = $env:COMPUTERNAME.ToUpper()
$HostDomain = $env:USERDOMAIN.ToUpper()
$HostWindowsVersion = (Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption.ToUpper()
$HostWindowsBuild = (Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem).Version.ToUpper()
<# Build a message body. #>
$smtpHTMLBody =
@"
