Allow variable names to be displayed in the toast notification

[Hexuzerfire]

Planning to use this for when a specific account logs into a specific computer. Using Task scheduler to fire off the following .ps1 script:

$PCName=(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem).Name
$CurrentDate=Get-Date
Invoke-Command -ComputerName -ScriptBlock {New-BurntToastNotification -Text "SPECIFIED ACCOUNT HAS LOGGED IN TO $PCName ON $CurrentDate" -Sound 'Alarm2'}

Currently the variables are missing when the toast notification comes up.

Thanks :)

What you're running into there is a scoping issue. When running Invoke-Command the ScriptBlock runs in an environment where those variables do not exist.

The "using" scope should fix this, e.g. "SPECIFIED ACCOUNT HAS LOGGED IN TO $using:PCName ON $using:CurrentDate"
