PowerShell

Hi, is it possible to use the PowerShell scripts from https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/2d191bcd-3308-4edd-9de2-88dff796b0bc (= PSWindowsUpdate) over Pulseway. My idea is to create a new category unter Automation -> Scripts with all the scripts of PSWindowsUpdate, but I have no idea if they would work... Thanks, Christian.

Great for onboarding new station, you can grab any other short cuts such as to shared rive, or network folders, the users C drive or the my documents folder as well, I just did the office apps. #By eDcisions $Officepath = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Winword.exe\Path") $WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell $Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Home\Desktop\Excel.lnk") $Shortcut.TargetPath = "$Officepath\Excel.exe" $Shortcut.Save() $WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell $Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$Home\Desktop\Outlook…

I am looking fo a script that I can deploy where Pulseway can check to see if a specific local admin account has been created. If not have it create it. With that local admin account, there is a rotating password, which is recorded in a report per computer.

Hello, i am trying to setup a very simple script to install powertoys as we have a need for the image resize feature on some computers. it can be installed using the winget cmdlet in powershell or the windows terminal, i have run it manually on both widows 10 and 11, but running the script the pulseway give be the following $ winget install Microsoft.PowerToys --source winget winget : The term 'winget' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + winget install Microsoft.PowerToys …

Hi, I work for a small IT business that is attempting to set up Network Glue (Basically a network information collector) which uses SNMP to collect information. I'm looking for a script that can install the SNMP service, and then adjust the settings to change startup to automatic, set the service to allow sending all possible information, (example shown in screenshot), set the community name to public, allow that community READ ONLY rights, and only accept SNMP packets from the Hostname "Twiz-PC". I've seen some stuff online but we are not fluent enough in Powershell to risk editing registry stuff ourselves, and having this automation will greatly help us in deploying to …

I've been experimenting with a scheduled task to restart some machines based on scope and I've had mixed success. Some machines in the scope restart as scheduled some don't. My powershell skills are limited so right now the pulseway script that I created to do restarts just has the powershell command Restart-Computer. Should there be more?

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…

I've written a script that retrieves the application name, publisher and version from the registry entries located in "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\InstalledApplicationsSnapshot". How can I make sure the software versions listed in this location are updated to the latest version of the applications installed? Is there a way to force update these records? For example, I have a mismatch in a system that the PW web dashboard is reporting Citrix Files being at version 20.9.1.0 (which is correct as of the last 24 hours), and the local registry entry for this application under the PC Monitor\InstalledApplicationsSnapshot is still reporting the previous version 20.…

Windows will sometimes refuse to start non-critical services on boot (eg. Pulseway), when resources are low. I've noticed a few Win7 machines have run for weeks without Pulseway being allowed to start. As the powershell cmdlet "Set-Service –Name –Computer -StartupType" doesn't seem to allow delayed-start, I'm using this script as a work-around. You'll need to manually stop the service before running this script and then manually re-start it afterwards. I have NOT thoroughly tested this script and I take no credit or responsibility for it - it is something that I poached and re-factored and I'm not experienced in PowerShell. Regards, Delay PC Monitor service s…

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…

Hi Folks, I'm new to Pulsewau scripting, please bear with me. I've tried to run the following PowerShell command, but it doesnt seem to run. Rename-Computer -NewName "Computer123" -DomainCredential MyDomain\Administrator -Restart Any advice on what I should do, to rename a computer?

I created a simple script to update the Pulseway Manager settings. The script verifies if a directory exists, and if it doesn't then creates it. Afterwards, it downloads the file from the URL and saves it to the outpath. Then updates Pulseway Manager config with the file located in the outpath. This has been extremely useful for modifying settings and updating all agents with the new settings. The flow for this process is as follows: 1. Update settings on the Pulseway Manager application, export settings. 2. Upload the settings file to a cloud or web-based URL, I use AWS S3 buckets with a public URL. 3. Add the URL to the $url variable, and change the paths…

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…

We do not use IPv6 in our current environment, so to help with security, we disable it on the network adapters. The below script is what we run when an asset registers with Pulseway. Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "*" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6

Hi, I'm trying to give all my users a new rdp icon on their desktop to log into our remote environment. How would I do so using powershell? I know .bat would work as well but Im not sure how I would go about it using pulseway.

I want to set the period of by powershell Maintenance .

I made a basic script to run diskcleanup silently, I already configured it...and the script seems to execute the disk cleanup on the local machine but it runs indefinitely, meaning pulse way doesn't seem to know when the script is done. ..any help is appreciated cleanmgr /verylowdisk /sagerun:5

My current RMM (the one I'm trying to migrate from) allows me to install both .exe and .MSI's without a UAC prompt. It seems to run in the background. Even with UAC turned on, however, with Pulseway I'm unable to run scripts (with either system or local admin account) without turning off UAC completely. What am I missing?

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, 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 want to add the below PowerShell command into Pulseway script, any help with creating or articles would be great.

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.
