    Pulseway msi files support unattended installation. Pulseway_xNN.msi /qn config=FFF configpassword=PPP where: FFF - The UNC path for the configuration file (required) PPP - The password for the configuration file or: Pulseway_xNN.msi /qn username=UUU password=PPP group=GGG server=SSS where: UUU - account username (required) PPP - account password (required) GGG - group name (optional). If not specified it will be "Default" SSS - dedicated server address - used only if you have a Pulseway Enterprise Server and it's required in this case. AD Group Policy can now be used to install the software. After t…

  2. In order to import a Pulseway configuration file you need to start PCMonitorManager (Pulseway Manager) from Pulseway's installation directory with the following parameters: PCMonitorManager.exe /config=C:\Configuration\NoPassword.pcmcfg If the exported configuration file contains the account details then you need to provided the configuration password as well: PCMonitorManager.exe /config=C:\Configuration\WithPassword.pcmcfg /configpassword=s3cr3tpassw0rd Note: The PCMonitorManager will not provide any console output or custom exit codes based to indicate the success of the operation.

    I have setup 2.7.1 on my WHS and enabled the lock to prevent changes. When I login to this PC and click here to allow changes a window pops up for the password. I input the password that should be setup and it doesn't accept it. Is there a way to reset this password?

  6. Hi, I'm looking how I can manage the notifications from within the PulseWay WebApp and specifically where I can manage the notifications definitions as found on the agents. I would like to reduce for example the notifications send in case of available update and only would like a notification in case of critical update as defined in the example hereunder. But I can't seem to find the same configuration parameters in the WebApp. I tried to configure it via the Patch Management policies but we still get notifications for important updates. Any help would be appreciated :)

  7. Recently migrated my Pro account to RMM. It didnt migrate any of the organizations, sites, groups.... That sucks. I'm getting lots of nuisance notifications now. The most common one is the "Windows Time service has stopped on the computer 'x' ". 1-5 notifications per day per PC. As far as I can tell time service is working on the PCs but must occasionally must fail. could be occasional issues with time.windows.com or during startup/shutdown? Not sure. its super annoying. cant figure out how to exclude the time service from monitoring. any help would be appreciated.

  8. We are very happy with Pulseway, but have noticed an interaction we are trying to fix. We recently moved to AutoPilot/Intune for shipping out laptops and having them get automatically configured. We are pushing out the pulseway client and its working well. However, we want Pulseway to NOT manage windows updates, only 3rd party applications. Right now, both Intune and Pulseway are setup to manage windows updates, and the rules are not playing nicely together. Is there a way to tell the Patch management to ignore windows updates, and only care about 3rd party applications?

  9. I am trying to install the Pulseway agent on a laptop that previously had it installed. I am getting a pop-up saying "The older version of Pulseway cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group". I removed the agent 2 months ago using the CMD command and deleted the folder as shown on the site.

  10. Hello, Im trying to install the client on a windows 11 64 bit OS.

  11. Every day we get the error message on our server: Pending reboot is required. I only have this problem on the server. The servers are up to date and I have already rebooted them several times. But the message comes back after a few seconds.

    Hi all, My goal is to create a Win32 package to deploy using Microsoft Intune that auto registers the computer. I've done this successfully with agent version 8. However, today I cannot get it to work with agent version 9. Despite contradicting help information out there that directs you to use Orca, the .MSI file that is generated contains the appropriate information to auto-register the agent. In the past I've converted the .MSI to .INTUNE, created the app in Endpoint Manager and assigned it with success. I'm working on doing this process again with agent version 9. I can get it to deploy with Intune, however auto-registration fails. My process is the same…

  13. Hi All! Does anyone know what to do about the Google Update Services? We have added the policy profile "All Auto-Started Services Notifications" to our servers, which works just fine. The problem is, that Google renames their update service every time, they update Google, making it virtually imporssible not to disable notifications on my iPhone, as it keeps me up all night. I was hoping, that it was possible to use a wildcard character, ignoring the current build number in the Google update service. Something like Google* Regards, Morten

  14. Wondering if there's a way I can pause patching without completely disabling patching. In light of the Crowdstrike issue that just happened, I'm curious if I can just pause patching in the patch management portion of Pulseway RMM. I don't want to take away the patch policy because it enables me to stop Windows updates from happening by themselves or allowing the end users to run them.

    I tried to update my agent app, tried to uninstall and install again, it says my version is 9.6 on my server but my Windows client keeps saying "Manual update required". Isn't that the latest version?

  17. After a fresh install on Windows 10, the Pulseway Agent installs, but does not allow me to sign in. When opening the application, I am greeted with this screen When I click on "Register System" I am greeted with this screen After entering my Username and checking the box "I do not have an instance name", I get this error message I have re-installed multiple times, tried to manually start the service in services.msc, which gives me this error I have also made sure my PC is up to date, currently running Windows 10 Home build 19045.2546.

  18. Hi, I am trying to install Pulseway on a Windows 2012 Server and I am getting the error above. There was a previous install which doesn't seem to have uninstalled properly. I'd appreciate some help on this... I have stopped all running Pulseway services - that I can identify but no luck. A second request: is there an uninstaller program available to completely remove a previous version of Pulseway?

  20. For the first time, we are trying to manage the Pulseway agent using policies rather than touching every agent manually. Where are current and accurate instructions for how to do this? We have an on-premise instance running v9.5.1. The tutorial video (under training center) feels like a nice marketing overview, but it reflects a previous version, so some details are inaccurate, and it is an overview. It doesn't provide enough information to actually create a new policy from the Web App. The Help Center has a whole section devoted to "Policies and Agent Configurations", but I still haven't found one article that actually provides the information I need for creati…

  21. A fresh install of the Pulseway Remote Desktop Client on a brand-new Windows 11 laptop gives me this error: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. The first time I installed this app, I had no issues, but after a few months, this message started appearing. I was able to fix it after messing with certificates and uninstalling/reinstalling a few times with Revo. Are we not at the point where installing this app will take care of installing all necessary certificates, configs, etc? What is the best way to resolve this error?

  23. I am looking to use a probe to install the pulse way manager on a device. The device is found on the network by the probe, however the Remote Computer Administrator Credentials will not allow me to leave anything blank. The device i am looking to install the manager on does not have a password set for the administrator account. I can enter the account name, however it will not let me submit the deployment while the password field is empty. Is there something I should enter into the password field that will still work even though the target device does not have a password?
