Hello Everyone,
I'm very new to PowerShell Script. I've been tasked to show some icons not all icons via the system Tray, next to the clock and thought using PowerShell deployed via SCCM would be appropriate. I've included an image of what we can enable manually by hand however as we have over 5000 desktops, manual approach is out of the window. Have anyone PowerShell script I could modify for the Appid needed to showup on the system tray please ?

Thank you Pseymour for that quick response and the provided PowerShell link. I have turned on NHS credentials app in the system Tray image below but not sure what I'm supposed to do with this ? Am I supposed to modify the PowerShell script in any way or just run it ?

I've updated my script to provide a new command-line option "-List", which reports all apps currently docked on the task tray.
When you know the app's filename, it's possible to select it for hiding or unhiding.

Code: 
PS C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads> .\Set-TrayNotify.ps1 -list
IARegistryEditorTool
IARegistryEditorTool
SecurityHealthSystray
OneDrive
vmtoolsd

PS C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads> .\Set-TrayNotify.ps1 -hide IARegistryEditorTool OneDrive vmtoolsd
PS C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads> .\Set-TrayNotify.ps1 -unhide IARegistryEditorTool

The argument list is handled a string match so "IARegistry" works the same as "IARegistryEditorTool" if it's an unique pattern.

Thank you Garlin for your effort and time spent on this for us. I'll go away and work on the script and feedback with any questions or updates on progress.

Hello Garlin, this script works flawlessly on manually running the script from the PowerShell window. The only aspect left for me now to be tested out on SCCM facing over 5000 device is to write another PowerShell script that calls on this with these 4 commands as shown on the image below and I'll test that out with some devices first before deployment Trust wide ?

Hello Garlin,

Can I write at the end of the same script to start-Process Start-Process -FilePath C:\System-Tray .\Set-TrayNotify.ps1 -unhide IdentityAgent and repeat this line of code to other 4 commands still to be appended on the same script. Not sure if there's any quotes "" and where on these line of codes ?

Like in most forums, if you want someone to be aware of your posts, you need to put @ in front of their user name.

You can just call the other script with the ampersand operator. If the scripts are in the same folder...

& (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'other-script-name.ps1')

with parameters...

& (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'other-script-name.ps1') @("One", "Two", "Three")
