How to do Windows notification for all company users
To send Windows notifications to all company users, you can use Windows Toast Notifications. These notifications appear as pop-up messages in the bottom-right corner of the screen and can be used to deliver important messages or updates to all users. Here's how you can do it:
Create a Notification XML Template:
First, create an XML template for your notification. This template will define the content and appearance of the notification. You can use the Windows Developer Center's Toast Template Catalog (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/toast-templates) to choose a pre-defined template or create a custom one.Use PowerShell Script to Send Notifications:
After creating the XML template, you can use a PowerShell script to send the notifications to all company users. Here's a simple PowerShell script to send the notification to a specific user:powershell# Replace the <XML_TEMPLATE_CONTENT> with the actual XML content of your notification template
$notificationXml = "<XML_TEMPLATE_CONTENT>"
# Get the SID (Security Identifier) of all user profiles on the computer
$userSids = Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile | Select-Object -ExpandProperty LocalPath
# Loop through each user and send the notification
foreach ($sid in $userSids) {
$notification = New-BurntToastNotification -Xml $notificationXml -AppId "YourAppId"
$notification.Tag = "YourNotificationTag"
$notification.Group = "YourNotificationGroup"
$notification.Id = "YourNotificationId"
[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier().Show($notification)
}
Save the above script in a .ps1 file, replacing
<XML_TEMPLATE_CONTENT>
with the actual XML content of your notification template and "YourAppId," "YourNotificationTag," and "YourNotificationGroup" with appropriate values.Run the PowerShell Script:
Run the PowerShell script with administrative privileges to send the notifications to all user profiles on the computer.
Please note that sending notifications to all users' profiles on a computer may require administrative permissions. Additionally, if you need to send notifications across multiple machines in the company, you may need to adapt the approach or consider using a more centralized solution, such as a custom notification service or group policy settings.
Remember to inform your users about the notification service and ensure that notifications are used responsibly and for appropriate purposes.
