It is possible to query the registry of a machine using a Script action, however the user was getting 'access denied' errors. If the computer runs the CU agent, it might be easier to run the script there instead of remotely. It was suggested that PS remote needs to be enabled for Invoke-Commands. 8.8 release will allow users to see the value for VHDLocations as a column in console and Solve as part of the FSLogix integration.

It turned out that it needed to be set up to delete at an exact threshold (e.g., 10%), and not a range (e.g., 9% to 11%). The user enabled an email alert to confirm the CU was picking up the trigger, and adjusted the settings so it would run below their personal threshold.
