We recently ran into an issue with a desktop image being left on for any extended period when the scheduled task to power on, run Microsoft Windows Updates and Microsoft Office updates, power off & set as image encountered an error. When I logged into the dashboard there was a notice at the top of the page that a desktop image had been powered on for more than 8 hours. I could not locate a setting where such an alert could be relayed to our team.
I created ticket #106745 and the technician said to have such an alert emailed to the organization is not something that can be configured at the moment. I was advised to put in a feature request.
Looking through other posts I see others are asking for the same feature last year. I have been hesitant to roll out automated updates for this exact reason. We were burned last year a couple times as well when this same thing occurred. Please consider adding a feature to notify the NMM organization when the desktop image has been left on for an extended period, i.e. 8 hours. Having such a feature would greatly provide us piece of mind when using automation to keep our images updated.
Thank you.
