For our client security audits, and PEN testing events, we are required to disable NetBIOS on the network adapters. The below script is what we run when an asset registers with Pulseway. $key = "HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NetBT\Parameters\Interfaces" Get-ChildItem $key | foreach { Set-ItemProperty -Path "$key\$($_.pschildname)" -Name NetbiosOptions -Value 2 -Verbose}

When u use the built-in script "Add Automatically Started Services in Pulseway" some services wil be monitored that are triggert and not always on. This wil result in unwanted notifications. The first variable has the servicenames you want to disable. $services = @('gupdate', 'ShellHWDetection', 'sppsvc', 'RemoteRegistry', 'MapsBroker', 'tiledatamodelsvc', 'WbioSrvc', 'WinDefend', 'CDPSvc') $servicesRegex = [string]::Join('|', $services) # create the regex $regservices = Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\Services" $regservicesSplit = $regservices -split ";" foreach ($regservice in $regservicesSplit) { If ($regservice -match $servic…

Don't you hate it, turn on the computer and you got all this cra# that comes up before you can start using your computer, users had enough of it, and go figure Microsoft put the run commmand in HKCU rather than HKLM I can't take credit for this one, I added the remove the run item but the balance of the script I found on ChristopherKibble.com, this script loops thru every users of the computer and edit's their HKCU, you run the script once and its fixed for all users on that system. #******************************************************************************************************************************* #** All code is for demonstration only and s…

Disable IPv6 All Network Adapters, the second line allows you to check status of all adapters after run. Carefull, suggest you run on workstations only. Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "*" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6 Get-NetAdapterBinding -ComponentID ms_tcpip6 Enable IPv6 All Network Adapters enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "*" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6 Get-NetAdapterBinding -ComponentID ms_tcpip6

I have created this small script to enable monitoring of the active network adapter on a given machine. Hope this can be of some help for others in the forum. $activeadapter = Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object {$_.status -EQ "UP" -and $_.HardwareInterface -and $_.Name -notlike "*npcap*"} | select DeviceID $DeviceID = $activeadapter.DeviceID Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\NetworkInterfaces\" -Name count -Value 1 Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\NetworkInterfaces\" -Name service0 -Value "$DeviceID"

I'm not sure this is the correct section to post in, but I am having issues with a sample script I wrote. In testing out the automation features of Pulseway, I wrote a script to start the PC Monitor service (because I am having issues with it not starting all of the time). Here is the script: Get-Service "PC Monitor" | Where {$_.status –eq 'Stopped'} | Start-Service Here is the error I get in return : At C:\Program Files\Pulseway\automation_a5487285_b624_4996_8bc3_3440ed567e5a.ps1:1 char:47 + ... ice "PC Monitor" | Where {$_.status ƒ?"eq 'Stopped'} | Start-Service + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The s…

I'll circle back and create an array and loop thru the array later, but this should give you an idea where its heading, this script will remove any current excluded items so be carefull, and it will turn off monitoring on just the ones in the script, I use this to reset all clients to the same set of excluded services, the array will be nice to have all the excluded services listed at the top of the script. Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ServicesExcludedFromNotifications\" -Recurse New-Item -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ServicesExcludedFromNotifications\" Set-Itemproperty -path 'HKLM:\SO…

Hello Pulseway Support, I am currently using the Pulseway Task module to execute PowerShell scripts. My scripts require PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe) to function properly, as certain modules like HuduAPI are not supported in PowerShell 5.1. However, when I attempt to run scripts that rely on PowerShell 7 functionality, they default to PowerShell 5.1, resulting in compatibility issues and failures. I would like to request guidance on how to: Configure Pulseway to explicitly run scripts using PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe). Verify if the Pulseway PowerShell module supports PowerShell 7, and if not, what workaround or timeline is available to ensure compatibi…

I created a script to install an MSI installer. However is I point to a Mapped Drive such as Z:\Working Directory\Installer.MSI it does not execute. If I execute the script from the C:\Temp\Installer.MSI it installs successfully. I've even tried using a UNC Path \\SERVERNAMER\Working Directory\Installer.MSI and it does not execute. Why is this? Does Pulseway not have permission to see the network share? Is there an area when creating the task that I need to enter network credentials. I don't see this. Please advise what I am doing wrong or overlooking Greg

What do folks consider best-practice for this? I need to push out a very small app, but PW has no file storage which seems like a HUGE roadblock.

Hi, My requirement is to monitor hardware components in a server using the REST API and Powershell. Currently I'm working at Fujitsu servers and I'm able to get the necessary monitoring information to Powershell objects from Fujitsu iRMC (Baseboard Management Controller) using the REST API. However, proceeding from here is the issue. I want to know how to feed the queried information to Pulseway and generate notifications based on the thresholds that will be defined. Based on the research I've done it seems like I need to create a plugin and add it to the Pulseway Manager. (Not 100% sure about this) Could you please help on how to get this done? …

I feel like I am missing something simple here. I cannot get any PS scripts or commands to execute on client machines from the Pulseway Dashboard. I began by making some simple cache clearing scripts I need to run daily/weekly, and quickly realized those as well as many scripts from my predecessor in the Dashboard were simply not working (folders marked for deletion were still present). In testing, I am now trying to run something as simple as "Restart-Computer" and when ran from the Dashboard (Systems > SystemName > Scripts) it shows as if it ran successfully, but the machine does not reboot. Of course running this command in a non elevated PS prompt directly on th…

Hi Everyone! We are looking to deploy a script to all of our laptops/desktops that will add a Trusted Location to both Excel and Access. It does this by changing Registry values on the users profile. Unfortunately, we are running into an issue though. When I test the script using PowerShell ISE, everything works perfectly. When I try deploying the script via Pulseway RMM Tasks, it will say the script deployment was "successful" but when I remote into the end user's computer, the Registry Editor won't show any changes being made to the Trusted Locations for either program. After searching through the forums, I found someone who ran into a similar issue. The answe…

HI All, I am trying to enable SSO on my endpoint running Windows 10 x64 by running the below PowerShell Script through Pulseway RMM, however the Task runs successfully, but does not execute on the computer and doesn't give me any errors. I have however ran the script on Windows PowerShell ISE locally on the computer and it executes without any problems. Please can someone help me understand why this script will not execute on the endpoint via Pulseway RMM. i have however ran other scripts on my test machine and they work, but for some reason this one doesn't seem to want to execute. PowerShell Script: # Set variables to indicate value and key to set $Regi…

Hello to all, I have a big problem in one of my tasks (in the Automation -> Tasks section) I want to execute a script in PowerShell quite simple: "Remove-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" -Name "XXXXX" " When I run the script on a single machine everything is fine the execution is done super fast and works perfectly, but when I run the same script in "Tasks" mode nothing happens. I just get a "Skipped" return on the task see the screenshot. But I don't understand at all why? Thanks a lot for your help. Sincerely Dimitri

I am looking to create an automated pop up message via powershell to alert users in a certain scope. Example: Systems will be under going maintenance, please ensure you leave the system on. However, I noticed due to powershell being in 'session 0' it won't show the pop up box for the user. How can I get around this or does anybody have another method? Side note: I did notice you can send group messages via Pulseway Group section, but I don't think I could automate that?

I'm trying to start an application that will start via PS script. I create pulseway script using Windows Powershell to run this command but I can't get the application to start. $env:Path += "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetDocuments\ndOffice\ndOffice.exe" & "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetDocuments\ndOffice\ndOffice.exe" However if I go to the remote computer, open Windows Powershell and run these commands the application opens as desired. All my other scripts I have work on this computer, so I'm executing it correctly. Please advise. Greg
