Feature Request: Ability to notify the user when a Managed Software Delivery Policy executes successfully

Products

• IT Management Suite
• Client Management Suite

Issue/Introduction

When a Managed Software Delivery Policy executes there's currently no indication for the user that the install was successful.  Policies can reboot the system, etc.  Having the ability to notify the user of successful install would be nice to have.  There's currently not a way to notify the user that a Policy executed successfully.

Environment

8.x through and including 8.8

Resolution

We have submitted new feature request to allow the User to be notified when the Policy executes successfully.  This KB will be updated when the feature is released to production.

 

Suggested Workarounds: 

1) Do not use separate task in Managed Delivery Policy (MDP) for the purpose of the splashscreen display

Typically, other customers would create a .bat or powershell script that would be used as a command line (which would belong to Adobe Acrobat component) to do the following:

• Kickoff installer of Adobe Acrobat
• If installer's return code is success, then show splashscreen

2) Modify the MDP in the following way

• Add Script task Task before Adobe Acrobat installer running IF Acrobat's detection rule is FALSE.  The script would add some custom file/registry key "YYY" into the system
• Create a task that runs after installation of Acrobat that:
  • Detect if the registry key "YYY" exists
  • Display Splashscreen
  • Remove  "YYY" registry key

Basically this is a mechanism to tell MDP that "Acrobat Reader was run successfully".
