[Running timers?]

Before you start a timer you should change the status for the ticket to 'In Progress', assign this ticket to yourself and then start a timer. So if you navigate away from this ticket, then you can search for it by the status, from Home -> My Tickets.

[Automate Enable User Support Request]

If you used the deployment and discovery module, then you could enable these two options on the Probe and then import the settings from the Probe during the deployment. You can read more about it from here https://www.pulseway.com/blog/network-discovery-and-automatic-deployment-guide.

Yes, you can enable the Remote Desktop option in the same way:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor" -Name EnableRemoteDesktop -Value "1"

Once it is done, then you can remote into the system and configure more options for RD connection:   ask for user confirmation before allowing any RD connection.

[Kaspersky AV]

Hi Martin,

Please gather traces (http://support.kaspersky.com/9343#howto) during update process and send them to support@pulseway.com.

[Spikes in cpu temp - avoid?]

Unfortunately this is not possible at this time, however we will consider the possibility to introduce this option in the future.

[Computer Identifier]

If you are talking about Linux system, then you need to delete the following file: /var/pulseway/pulseway.id , but if you are talking about Windows system, then you need to delete the values for the following registry keys before you run sysprep:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ComputerIdentifier
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\ComputerName

These values will be regenerated automatically.

[Policy on Event log notification doesnt push out]

It is not possible to see the Pulseway Group Policy settings in the Pulseway Manager on the remote system, but these settings are applied to the system.

[Notification emails]

Hi Aaron,

At first you need to configure the email server from the Pulseway webapp -> Server Admin -> Settings -> Email -> Server Settings (send a test email, to make sure that settings are correct). Once this is done, then you have to make sure, than email notifications are enabled for your account ( you can check it from the Pulseway webapp -> Server Admin -> User Accounts -> select required user account ->  Details)

[Kaspersky plugin - username / pwd]

Hi James,

You can get the username and password from the Pulseway webapp -> Antivirus -> Policies -> select required policy -> Antivirus Protection -> General -> UI Settings.

[Req: Transfer (or at least open/view files)]

This year we are planning to support P2P connections, which will greatly increase the performance of the RD tool and file transfer via the Pulseway RD.  We are planning to release this feature at the end of Q2/start of Q3. But meanwhile you can transfer files via email or view files if this option is configured in the Pulseway Manager -> System -> File Browser.

[Group Owners for Improving scheduled reports]

Hi,

This is already possible, you can create the scope for each group and then schedule when the report is generated and send emails to the multiple email addresses.

Read more about scopes from here: https://www.pulseway.com/blog/organize-your-it-environment-with-scopes-groups-and-tags

[Reports on Scripts and Tasks]

Hi,

I think that this is a good idea. We will consider the possibility to add a new report in the future release, showing all job history for each system.

[A few newbie questions...]

Unfortunately this solution is not implemented yet.

[Possible Bug - Annual Renewals]

If you are using the recurring services contract, then you can choose the 'Billing Cycle':

1. contract length 
2. weekly
3. monthly
4. quarterly
5. yearly

[Possible Bug - Annual Renewals]

Hi Martin,

Have you tried to use the Recurring Services contract to achieve this.

[Transfer Account Settings to New Account]

Yes, you will need to switch the account with which agents are registered.

Currently the agent configuration is stored on the monitored system, but in the near future they are planning to move all the configuration to the centralized database so you can manage all the settings for all your agents from the Pulseway webapp.

[Unattended installation with Remote Desktop module]

Yes, you can enable the Remote Desktop via the Powershell script.

Also you can enable the Remote Desktop via the Pulseway Dashboard (right-click on the system and select the option "Edit Computer Settings"). 

[LDAP Authentication]

Yes, the account can't be renamed, but you can create a new account and register all agents with this account using a PowerShell script.

At first you need to register one of your agents with the new account and copy the values for the following registry keys:

• AccountPassword
• AccountPasswordCtrl
• AccountUsername
• AccountUsernameCtrl

and then use these values in this script. You can run this script via the Automation module:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name AccountPassword -Value "Enter the saved AccountPassword from the machine you've just configured"
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name AccountPasswordCtrl -Value "Enter the saved AccountPasswordCtrl from the machine you've just configured"
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name AccountUsername -Value "Enter the saved AccountUsername from the machine you've just configured"
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name AccountUsernameCtrl -Value "Enter the saved AccountUsernameCtrl from the machine you've just configured"

[command was sent but nothing happens]

Is it possible that you have configured that only authorized devices can send system commands to the agents. Please check this in the Pulseway Manager -> Devices tab (and if necessary then you will need to add your device in to the list of authorized devices).

[Are wildcards in the Event log Filter allowed?]

Hi Christian,

You can configure the Event Log to notify you about all the events which contain the word "Altaro". In order to do this you need to configure the option 'Contains Keywords' in the event log filter.

[PSA Integration Issue]

Hi Matt,

Is it possible that these tickets are created with too low priority and therefor they can't be sent to PSA. Check PSA filter (open the Pulseway webapp -> Server Admin -> PSA).

[Add End Point]

Hi,

You can add endpoints one by one, but for the MSP plan the minimum, for what you will be charged, is 25 systems.

[Batch File not executing correctly.]

Try to use something like this (via PowerShell):

$j = Start-Job -ScriptBlock {
TASKKILL /f /im iexplore.exe
}
Wait-Job $j -Timeout 5 | out-null
if ($j.State -eq "Completed") {
CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer"
start iexplore.exe
}
