Interactive PSAppDeployToolkit via BigFix?

Usage and Config SWD
1

We have a high-visibility deployment each month that tends to get a few failures here and there. Our higher ups are looking for an ‘In Progress’ prompt that’s front and center and can’t be dismissed by end users until the BigFix action is complete. Some of our failed actions are caused by end users dismissing the configured ‘display message while running action’ prompt from BigFix and then launch the application before it’s had time to apply our post-install configurations.

Has anyone had success getting interactive prompts working from PSAppDeployToolkit via BigFix? (If that’s even possible.) Or have implemented anything comparable?

I’m not familiar with PSAppDeployToolkit.

And while we don’t have a built-in way to present this kind of ‘persistent message’ in BigFix itself, if it helps what I think you’re looking for is a ‘Modal Dialog’. I have some notes on it here Force Docx File to auto open on users end - #9 by JasonWalker including how to present such a dialog in VBScript that could probable be adapted to PowerShell as well.

Thanks, Jason. I’ll look at the modal dialogs.
