Small Correction: The scheduled task can be run on demand, but by default it restarts the pulseway service once a day at 11am, which in theory, should force it to check for updates. So one of the problems I ran into with pulseway is, sometimes I would want to restart the service. Doesn't really matter why, could be to get it to check for new updates to the pulseway agent and get them on the latest version. The problem was that if I just setup a script to restart the service, say like this ReStart-Service "Pulseway" what would happen is that it would send the command in whatever user environment pulseway runs in, it would execute it, the service would stop, and the…

I am trying to create a PowerShell script that will run DBCC checks on a SQL server and then report status back to Pulseway. I have a working script that I can run from the command line but the script will not run correctly when sent as a Pulseway script. Here are the details. The script fails because it is unable to authenticate to the SQL server. The SQL Server is running on the same machine as I am running the script on. Thus wil are not dealing with cross machine accounts. I have put debug code into the script and the account reported back by PowerShell is MACHINENAME$. The machine is in a domain and thus the script appears to be reporting back the machine …

We noticed that all machines we had with Win 10 either via fresh install and or upgrade would not WOL from Pulseway. Through much troubleshooting and testing it came down to the fast startup option in the power settings preventing WOL from happening. We setup a PS script to change the regkey value for fast startup and set it to disabled. After a restart and processing of the registry the systems now wake when requested to via Pulseway RMM. PS script is below... Set-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power' -Name HiberbootEnabled -Value 0

Hi, We created a script which checks for Windows Updates, installs the updates, creates a report and reboots if necessary. This script runs in a single task and every system has it's own scheduled task. Unfortunately when I check the Script Output Results (where our report file is shown), I noticed the following error: "Download Status: FAILED With Error -- You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. The property 'Updates' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set. Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))()" (See the attachment for a more detailed Script Output, the script is als…

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.

Not my work, I took code form two locations and put them together to fit my needs, change the path to the path to your folder, change the filter to the file type to filter by, add as a script, run it, and then open your Last Executions to see the contents of the file. I was needing to check status of a log file on a server every so often, the log file name would change daily and be time stamped, this solved it for me. $dir = "C:\data\Sync_Reports" $filter="*.txt" $latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir -Filter $filter | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1 $latest.name Get-Content $dir"\"$latest

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.

Not really sure if anything like this has been posted before. I've seen a couple posts about removing services or stopping the monitoring of Automatic services. What I couldn't seem to find in Pulseway was an easy way to take say an inventory of services on machine, and easily convert specific ones to being monitored. Ideally having the agent inventory all services on the machines and then giving us a way to select which ones we want to monitor through the web portal would be ideal. Currently we have to log into the actual computer and do it from within the Pulseway Manager desktop app. Not ideal when you need to monitor specific services across a larger group. …
