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 made a script that installs lenovo vantage from microsoft store: winget install "Lenovo Vantage" --source=msstore --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements When i want to run it from the pc i am working on it works just fine, but if i want to run it from pulseway i get this error: 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.

Is there a way to force use of Powershell 7.2 when running powershell scripts in Pulseway?

HI Team Is there a way to remotely enable/disable notifications for a specific endpoint via the Admin Console (mydomain.pulseway.com/app/main/systems/{system_id}/details) under Manage > Execute Powershell? I want to disable the "Send notification when computer is offline" but is there a way i can do it with remote powershell/scripting without logging into the computer?

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…

This took me a while to get working, so I figured I'd share the detail in case anyone else would like to use something similar. I've been working on identifying computers that have local user accounts with blank passwords. This problem is more a relic of launching our RMM journey late and not being ready to enforce a password policy, but it might be useful for someone else. I used the variable 'offenders,' and it returns a comma-separated list of the local user accounts that have blank passwords or just the word "Secured" if all accounts have a password. Add-Type -AssemblyName System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement $script = { Param($cred) try…

Deze script werkt als het gerunt is van een user account maar niet vanuit pulseway. $password = ConvertTo-SecureString "your_password" -AsPlainText -Force $credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("your_username", $password) $scriptBlock = { Start-Process powershell -Verb RunAs Write-Host "Running with elevated privileges!" } $encodedCommand = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($scriptBlock)) Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList "-NoProfile -EncodedCommand $encodedCommand" -Credential $credentials

Is it possible to get a report of all devices CPU generation?

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…

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…
