Toast Notification on SCCM
So this is quick how-to adding toast notifications to SCCM, Which can be used for Task Sequences or User notifications.
1). Head over to imad.dk and grab yourself a copy of the Toast files needed for this
2). Extract the software to a handy location and customise and tweak to your requirements ie.. Windows 10 Update
3). Transfer your toast folder to your package location on your own SCCM.
You can also save you config xml file to network location if you do not want to package it ie.. -Config \Server1\Cool-Config-Toast.xml so any changes you make to the xml will not require a repackage
