Send different notifications on immediate and scheduled suspend

To send different text for different suspend modes you can use this script in the Message setting in the Output section:

{ $message1="User suspend was scheduled." + " Suspend Date:" + $($FixedSuspendDate.tostring(“MM-dd-yyyy”)); 
 $message2="User was suspended." + " Suspend Date:" + $($FixedSuspendDate.tostring(“MM-dd-yyyy”)); 
 if($SuspendMode -eq 'true'){ $message1 }
 else{ $message2 } 
}.InvokeReturnAsIs()
