Feature Request: Alerts for base images

All, I would like to request an alert to know when base images start.  We need to know to control the replication of those, otherwise we get calls from clients because bandwidth is maxed.

  • This is a great idea and would be very helpful. But I would be surprised if it was done since this feature would highlight how often the product takes a new base.

    There are a few options. There is a powershell script you can run that will list base images. I cant find the technote at the moment but I have the ps script (recpoints.ps1) but maybe someone from dell can link the script, I know it was posted here several times

    You can also setup a notification group on the core and send messages to another application (we use papertrailapp.com) and then search for Base. This will show you a list of all clients that have taken a base and when.

  • I have created the feature request on your behalf to be considered in a future release.

  • Internal feature request created.

  • Hi mmacdonald31:

    Although getting this kind of alerts is not implemented yet, you may get some help using the attached PowerShell Script.

    You need PowerShell 3.0 or later installed on the core (default in Windows 2012 and later) and, of course, to remove the .txt extension which was added to avoid filtering.

    To get an idea of what it does, please run

    PS C:\>RP.4.2.9.htm.ps1 -base

    (I tried to add a report example as well but there is a limit of one attachment per post)

    The result is an HTML file (allow blocked content if running with IE)

    There are many documented available options

    PS C:\> get-help RP.4.2.9.htm.ps1 

    I wrote a KB with more information related to this script (see link below)

    Hope that this helps...
