Suggestion for Script to Create Log Bundles with ControlUp Infrastructure Servers
A user suggested creating a script to generate log bundles with logs from ControlUp infrastructure servers such as SBA, COP, IOP, etc. An example of such a script was AppSense-Support.vbs and this was used to successfully retrieve the logs.

How to Send Messages Based on FSLogix Triggers
A user wanted to send a message to the user whose disk had low profile space using an FSLogix trigger, but the script action for this couldn't be used. Oliver suggested creating a trigger for disk space and then using a script follow-up action to find the user GUID/key, followed by a send message action. He also suggested using Powershell to get the session ID of the user and using the MSG.exe native functionality to send a message to a specific session, if multiple users were using the same machine. Dennis suggested adding a filter for FSLogix Disk Type to the Trigger filter editor, and Nicholas linked a script that is helpful for single session setup. The roadmap also includes FSLogix disks per user.
