  4. Hoping I can get some insight here, or may just submit an official support request. Someone in our org who is in a Help Desk position needs to get Pulseway Remote Control installed on their machine so they can connect to end user workstations for troubleshooting. I've installed this many times but for some reason this time it's complaining about the appdata folder being redirected. In specific we are seeing a can't access error on a path \\servername\users\username\appdata\\pulseway remote control I am wondering if that double backslash is the issue here. We have plenty of other things installed and require app data access and they al…

    Can I install Pulseway on a Golden Image for Citrix XenDesktop for pool desktops? When I provision the image will I get new Pulseway agent for each machine I create? greg

  6. Ideally I would like to utilize Pulseway to prevent my users from upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since there isn't an ideal way to do this (at least not that I've come across), I'd like to know if there is a way that I could setup a notification so that I am alerted if someone does this. Any suggestions appreciated. Right now I am doing manual spot-checks of the Systems under Configuration > Organizations.

  9. Seemed pretty simple to set this up in the Pulseway Manager (9.2) Application on Windows (target PC). Sending the test eMail worked perfectly. I then tried sending a file from the web application (running on a different windows machine) - email pick don't even show up. Only Delete & Cancel are shown. Restarted Pulseway service on target machine - email pick not shown Complete reboot of target machine - email pick not shown Next tried the mobile client on Android (version 12) - email pick not shown So does this feature really work? I have no problem sending / receiving the test email but no chance to even try sending files.

    Hi all. We are deploying the preconfigured Pulseway v9.x agent with Intune (MSI file), and that works well. However, whenever we do an Intune "Fresh start" on a client that has the Pulseway agent installed and working, we get a duplicate entry for the client in the web app. I assume it's because technically the agent gets reinstalled by Intune and in the process gets a new value in HKLM\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ClientIdentifier. Now, because the new and the old install is indistinguishable from each other in the web app, it's almost impossible to know what entry should be removed and what entry should stay. Is there a way to identify these obsolete…

    I am very happy that Pulseway finally released a way to deploy Feature Updates. That being said, we don't use WSUS any longer, we only rely on the ability of the Pulseway Agent to download and apply updates according to the rules we have setup. I am just curious if anyone using the Windows update GPO to control any of the Windows Update features on workstations that have Pulseway installed? I guess, is there any need for it and if so, what do you like to control? Do any of you disable Windows Updates entirely on your workstations and only rely on Pulseway to manage updates?

  16. I changed phones recently and the new app says: 'This device is pending approval. Login to the WebApp and approve it from the account devices page.' If I got to https://my.pulseway.com/main/account/devices there is no device to approve. Am I doing something wrong?

    I believe this to be related to Microsoft no longer support Basic Authentication, however I'm unable to fix the issue. Our Email Parser in Service Desk is no longer able to connect and staying as Inactive. The email account/user is fine, and we can send to and from it through Outlook and external email services. I've run through the steps found here https://intercom.help/pulseway/en/articles/5488944-oauth2-0-for-microsoft-o365-with-psa-email-parser to enable OAuth 2.0, but I still get the same error: Any ideas?

    Dear All, I would like to enquire about the proxy settings. In my company, we usually use a proxy server. This will actually require users to toggle between proxy and no proxy when they are using the network. Proxy = Company Network No-Proxy = Outdoors But it seems that Pulseway only support manual changing of proxy settings through Pulseway Manager. Is there anyway to automate this so that it will automatically change depending on Windows Proxy Settings? Thanks in advance

    Hi. I have been using a free version and it has been amazing. Unftortunately, after I have upgraded my Win10 laptop to Win11, it's not working. I can start the manager, but I get the message that the service is not installed. Uninstalled everything, downloaded Pulseway_x64.msi and I get this error when trying to install it. After that, the old version cannot be removed. Please help. I have Windows 11 Pro 21H2.

    Sorry for the stupid question (probably) but scripts arent my strong point. In the example below, do i remove the quotes in the sections like "Enter the saved AuthenticationToken from the machine you've just configured" when i replace with the required info? TIA Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name AuthenticationToken -Value "Enter the saved AuthenticationToken from the machine you've just configured" Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name AuthenticationTokenCtrl -Value "Enter the saved AuthenticationTokenCtrl from the machine you've just configured"

Hi all, We have an on premise server and since the start of this we've had the probe which is sat at our head office scan the networks over site to site VPN's and it has picked up all the equipment however when we went to enroll devices on the remote subnets they all appear as offline even though we can ping them FROM the Pulseway on prem server itself ? We've now gone and installed a PC at one of the remote sites, applied it as a probe and done a scan and even with the probe being on the same network and subnet they STILL show as offline? If i look at all the devices that i can enroll they ALL show as offline even though it clearly can see them online as it's s…

    More and more, we purchase laptops and get them delivered directly to end-users. As par of their initial setup instructions. we send them the URL for the correct group so they can download and install the agent. However the process is quite chatty. Would someone know the syntax for URLdeployment for silent installation? Is there also some sort of flag in the syntax to disable the user to open the agent and change settings themselves? Thanks

    Hi I have created a Patch Policy, and when to Agent Status, selected a Scope or Group (I tried both) and then assigned the policy However, if new agents are installed and part of the correct Scope or Group, they do not get the policy assigned. The Status shows as 'Not Assigned' What is the correct way to ensure that any new agent installation gets the correct patch management policy automatically without any manual intervention? Thanks
