Possible to send Toast to another Win 10 box on the network? about burnttoast HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, you'll need to have PowerShell remoting all working and BurntToast installed on the remote machine (it doesn't need to be on the local one though). Then use Invoke-Command to trigger it, e.g.

Invoke-Command -ComputerName RemotePC -Credential Joe -ScriptBlock {Toast -Text 'Test'}

And using the HTTP Listener??: https://github.com/Windos/BurntToast/tree/master/Examples/Example08

The Invoke-Command method partially works. Text is fine but any images referenced wether logo, hero or inline all fail to load. Each image registers an "Access is denied" followed by a "Cannot find path X because it does not exist.". Paths definitely exist, permissions don't seem to be an issue and every machine can successfully find the images if the code is run locally. The images are referenced via a UNC path and I am using version 0.7.0. Any suggestions?

I imagine it's the same issue as you'd run into if running a scheduled task with "Do not store password" ticked, which only gives access to local resources (i.e. anything on a UNC path would not be accessible.)

Not sure of a workaround atm, I still need to come up with the 100% fail proof method of running these remotely.

In addition to previous comments about scheduled tasks, you can also get around having to have BurntToast installed on the remote machine. See: https://toastit.dev/2018/08/21/crouton-8-i-like-your-code-but-i-dont-want-it-on-all-my-computers/

Also, if you do go the scheduled task route, you can execute as system and kick the toast over to the user. See: #27 (comment)
