Troubleshooting “Send Message To Horizon User” Script Error
The user was trying to run the “Send message to Horizon user” from the community script using a trigger but received an UAC error. Solutions such as disabling UAC from the Control Panel and making sure the Horizon pod was in the same ControlUp site as the agent machines were suggested. Additionally, the user had to generate Horizon creds on each Monitor server individually. The issue was eventually resolved.

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.

How to Prompt Users to Reboot with ControlUp Script Actions
In order to have a script take action on a workstation and prompt the active user to reboot, various options were discussed, such as Toast Framework, Msg.exe, and Executables available in Edge DX.

Can the ControlUp Solve web console connect to a machine with a pre-installed agent, or is the legacy console necessary?
A user asked if the Solve web console will allow users to add new machines with an already-installed ControlUp agent, which would replace the current "Add Computers" configuration step. It was mentioned that a new version of ControlUp will have changes to the agent deployment process that will make this step less relevant. As an alternative, the support page https://support.controlup.com/docs/euc-synchronization-with-universal-sync-script provides a PowerShell script to sync Virtual Machines, though this is subject to customers' security concerns.

ControlUp Script: Measuring VM Start Time with Azure AVD
This script is designed to measure the time it takes for a VM to start and accept the first user connection when the containing host pool is set to "Start VM on connect". It can be used with an Azure resource ID and tenant ID, and requires credentials to be configured beforehand. The script works with Azure AVD and is hypervisor independent, but it is unknown if it works with an on-prem hypervisor like VMWare or with Azure HCI.

A user had set up a trigger to put a virtual machine into Citrix Maintenance Mode when local storage D:\ was below X GB, but it was not working. Another user shared screenshots of their own working trigger configuration and suggested the user upgrade to the latest ControlUp version. They also proposed trying a script that drains and reboots the server instead of putting it into Maintenance Mode. The latest ControlUp version was already being used.
