Toast Notifications on Windows

[ttl]

Powershell scripts are executed as SYSTEM and trying to execute a PS command as a user I run into the Powershell restrictions, which I don't which to change.

 

There's some third party options and PS modules which I had minimal success with, is there perhaps a way to utilize Filewave to execute a GUI notification?

This was easily achievable in Mac using osascript and invoking su -l $current_user -c /scriptpath

Windows is proving substantially more difficult to achieve the same.

 

Use case:
There's an upgrade fileset for an app heavily used by users.  During the upgrade there IS a brief interruption and it'd be nice to notify them on-screen, as opposed to manually sending out emails which they often don't read until after the interruption already occurred.

Try something like:

C:\Windows\Sysnative\msg.exe * /TIME:100 Party Time
