We use email notifications in our scripts all the time, a good example is we send one to the technician after an OSD completes. Here is test batch file I did a while back with blat.exe to include an attachment, just put in the right values for the email and mserver variables. Have fun J

Nothing out of the box built-in to handle that type of request though. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife Sent: Thursday, February 5, 2015 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] user notification of application install I was just asked something that sounds a bit off-the-wall to me. I know that SCCM does not have e-mail notification built-in, but the question I was asked is: Can SCCM e-mail a user notifying them that the application has been installed, as part of the deployment? There is also interest in e-mailing a user when Windows Updates have been installed, in case they’re away from their machine, so that the possibility of the machine auto-rebooting after the 2 ½ hour grace period we currently allow is minimized. We are currently on SCCM 2012 SP1, although within the next couple of months I hope to be at R2 and latest CU. Joe Heaton
