In my last post, we looked at a way to monitor ConfigMgr Package distributions with PowerShell. In this post, we’ll add an email notification to it. Sometimes when you are distributing a large package to multiple distribution points, it’s handy to receive a notification that the distribution has been completed so you don’t have to keep checking the distribution status.
In this script, we do much the same as in the previous post, except we watch for a change in the distribution status in WMI to see when the distribution has completed. Then we send an email.
Simply add your email details, sitecode, and the polling frequency into the script, then run it. Choose which active distribution you want to monitor, then you’ll get an email when the distribution to all the relevant distribution points has completed.
As I mentioned in my previous post, ConfigMgr does some post-processing before the actual distribution is started, so if you try to monitor a distribution immediately after you distributed it, you might see no results. One way to check when it’s started is to search for ‘Created package transfer job to send package … to distribution point’ in the distmgr.log on the site server.
<#
This script monitors an active distribution that you choose and sends an email once the distribution to all DPs has completed.
Note: Run on the SCCM Site Server, and complete the variables first.
