Are any of you using Pulseway to install applications not currently installed by third party management? I have applications that I need to install on my network that I would like to use Pulseway Automation for. I'm currently using PDQ Deploy but would like to get rid of it. Any suggestions on how to use Pulseway in this way? I attempted to work with support because I am getting a 1619 error... I tried everything I could find online to resolve this issue, but continued to get this error... I reached out to Pulseway Support, but they were less than helpful. Any thoughts?

Hi, I am trying to automate the run of disk clean-up tool (cleanmgr) on my managed computers. I have created a script that prepares the "sageset" on computers and that seems to be working OK. The problem I am running into is that when I remotely launch the script/1-liner that executes the cleanmgr to effectively run the created sageset, it just hangs while using a certain percentage of CPU. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? prepare.sageset.ps1: this prepares the "sageset" in registry. I'm using sageset 0x0100. run.cleanup.ps1: this starts the "sagerun". It works just fine when executed manually from powershell but I'm running into the above-descrip…

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

I have a Windows 10 Pro (local) machine that is not responding to: wmic UserAccount set PasswordExpires=True I've been digging a big hole looking for a comparable powershell command. Anyone know? Also, how to check if the user cannot change password is set. It does not list using net accounts

Hi, I have created a powershell script to activate a specific screensaver, password enable it and set the idle timeout value, but it does not work when I try to run it from the PulseWay Web interface. I have also tried it from a batch script, but it does not work either. Both scripts work fine when running them directly from the local computer. The Powershell script it as follows: #Values to customize $ScreenSaveActive = 1 #set to 1 if you want the screensaver enabled, 0 to disable $TimeOutValue = 60 # number of idle seconds before screensaver gets active $ScreenSaverFile = "C:\Windows\system32\mystify.scr" # full path to scree…

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a simple PowerShell script that you can use within Pulseway Automation to remotely eject any USB storage devices connected to a system. This can be helpful for security-conscious environments or in scenarios where USB usage needs to be tightly controlled. Works well in combination with the Disable USB Storage Access script in the built in category. The script uses Shell.Application to trigger the native "Eject" action for removable drives (DriveType = 2). Here's the version that loops through all mounted USB volumes: ✅ Works great in Pulseway automation tasks 💡 You can modify it to eject a specific drive letter if ne…

Hello, Good morning, I have a Powershell script which should install a certain software at our customer. During the installation a key is needed. I would like to enter this key every time I run the script, is this possible? Background is that we have different keys for each customer, so I do not have to create 10 versions of the script with different keys.
