I've written a script to scan the network and insert all existing active IP addresses to the proper location in the registry, however Pulseway manager doesn't pick that up (even on service restart). Where do I need to insert those changes? Sample script below- It relys on a txt file for a list of active IP's (generated separately) cls # Remove any existing registry entries $ExistingKeys = Get-ChildItem "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\DevicesPingResponses\" | Select-Object -expand Name $Count = 0 ForEach ($Key in $ExistingKeys){ Remove-Item "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\DevicesPingResponses\Device$Count" $Count++ } …

I have added a powershel script to Pulseway and scheduled it. On the Server the script is running well, but with Pulseway it has a problem to send a mail with the PS command: Send-MailMessage. + Send-MailMessage -To $user.EmailAddress -BCC $MailSender -Fr ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient:Sm tpClient) [Send-MailMessage], SmtpException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SmtpException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Send MailMessage The command is: Send-MailMessage -To $user.EmailAddress -From $MailSender -SmtpServer $SMTP…

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…

This script will check to see if a VPN connection with the given name exists. If it does exist, it updates the VPN connection. If it does not exist, it creates a VPN connection with the given values. Note: I believe Pulseway runs PowerShell scripts under the Local System account by default (unless you have defined PowerShell User Impersonation in the Pulseway Manager, I think). In order to expose the VPN to users, this script runs against the Global Phone Book (-AllUserConnection switch). Therefore, this script does not check for the existence of VPN profiles stored in individual user Phone Books. (If an existing user VPN profile exists, this script will create a new…

Hi, Is it possible to continue a script after a reboot using Tasks? I build a PowerShell script where a reboot is required and needs to continue after te reboot.

This is more of a general script question about Pulseway. There are a number of the built-in script that appear like they should return data. When I review the scripts they are PowerShell scripts that would return data to the screen. I don't understand where the data is returned when they are run remotely via Pulseway. Is there someplace that Pulseway returns the data from a script after it is run? This would be super convenient but I surely cannot find this. Examples: List Installed Hotfixes List System Restore Points List Computers in the Active Directory These are built in but I don't understand where the results are supposed to be r…

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

Would like to execute powershell and batch scripts as admin. Is this possible? For example, I would like to run sfc. Is my only option scheduling tasks?

Hey Fellow PW users, I've created a script which allows the system to change its name to %computername%-Current logged on username, which makes life a little easier when trying to remote to their computers on the remote control tool/Webapp. To get started, create your script in the script editor, in my example, Name: Update Computer Name with Logged on Username Windows/Powershell Code: $pwqusers = quser | Select-Object -skip 1 $pwquserfmt = $pwqusers.substring(1,22).Trim() -join "," Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name ComputerName -Value "$env:computername-$pwquserfmt" Click Save. Next we create at new t…

Hi, Is there a script to remotely enable o provide remote support the remote desktop client and ask users permission for connection? I have a number to remote users and would like to provide remote support to them Thanks Nick

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 …

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…

This script will download the small online installer, generate the silent install cfg file and run the installer. The timer near the end is set for 3 minutes as it has to download the full installer first and Java takes a while to install anyway. If you want to get the latest version just go to https://java.com/en/download/win10.jsp and copy the link from the button that says "Agree and start free download". Then past this link into the $source variable. I find that this installer works on both windows 7 and windows 10. # Download and silent install Java Runtime Environement # working directory path $workd = "c:\temp" # Check if work directory …

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…

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.

This will download and install or upgrade veeam and install a license if you have one, finally it will import a config file if one is available. I use Dropbox and a shared link.

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…
