Task Pop-Up Notifications

The task pop-up notification is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the OpenManage Essentials

console when a task is completed.

NOTE: The task pop-up notification is displayed only for tasks that create a Task Execution History.

The information displayed in the task pop-up notification varies based on the number of completed tasks.

If only one task is completed, the following information is displayed:
