Create nice Windows 10 toast notifications for the logged on user in Windows.
Everything is customizeable through config-toast.xml.
Config-toast.xml can be locally or set to an UNC path with the -Config parameter.
This way you can quickly modify the configuration without the need to push new files to the computer running the toast.
Can be used for improving the numbers in Windows Servicing as well as kindly reminding users of pending reboots.
All actions are logged to a local log file in C:\Windows\Temp\New-Toastnotificaion.log
Specify the path for the config.xml. If none is specificed, the script uses the local config.xml
Filename: New-ToastNotification.ps1
1.1 - Separated checks for pending reboot in registry/WMI from OS uptime.
More checks for conflicting options in config.xml.
The content of the config.xml is now imported with UTF-8 encoding enabling other characters to be used in the text boxes.
1.2 - Added option for personal greeting using given name retreived from Active Directory. If no AD available, the script will use a placeholder.
Added ToastReboot protocol example, enabling the toast to carry out a potential reboot.

- Several new text variables in XML config file
- Look in WMI for given name if no local AD is available.
- All text can now be edited directly in the XML config file
- Removed a few script errors showing while running it manually in PowerShell ISE
To use it for multi-language purpose execute this command: PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -File .\Show-ToastNotification.ps1
