Usage:
send-ctxmessage -DesktopGroupName DG1 -Time "20 Minutes"
You can add different parameters and put them into your message text!
So by adding a $Application parameter you will be able to do the following:
sent-ctxmessage -desktopgroupname DG1 -Time "20 Minutes" -Application "AppXY"
Modify your message:
Send-BrokerSessionMessage -AdminAddress $AdminAddress -InputObject $session -MessageStyle Information -Title "Update of $Application" -Text "In $Time there will be an Update for $Application."
What the User will receive:
Update of AppXY
In 20 Minutes there will be an Update for AppXY
