BartB reacted to Chris in Import Pulseway configuration from command line
In order to import a Pulseway configuration file you need to start PCMonitorManager (Pulseway Manager) from Pulseway's installation directory with the following parameters:
PCMonitorManager.exe /config=C:\Configuration\NoPassword.pcmcfg If the exported configuration file contains the account details then you need to provided the configuration password as well:
PCMonitorManager.exe /config=C:\Configuration\WithPassword.pcmcfg /configpassword=s3cr3tpassw0rd Note: The PCMonitorManager will not provide any console output or custom exit codes based to indicate the success of the operation.

BartB reacted to Jimmy Harden in Scheduling Windows Update
At the risk of stealing his thunder, I had Paul Csiki from Pulseway Support provide me the following PowerShell script a day or two ago in answer to this exact question. This should allow you to run the script at certain times using the automation features. I haven't yet tested it but on read through I like what I see.
As Paul says, I hope it helps.
Email contents copied below:
Hi Jimmy,
You can use this PowerShell script to install available Windows updates through the Pulseway automation feature:
Write-Host "Start Windows Update" $UpdateCollection = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.UpdateColl $Searcher = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Searcher $Session = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session $Searcher = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Searcher $results = $searcher.search("Type='software' AND IsInstalled = 0 AND IsHidden = 0 AND AutoSelectOnWebSites = 1") # Install Update if ($results.Updates.Count -eq 0) { Write-Host "No Update" # no updates. } else { # setup update collection foreach ($update in $results.Updates){ $UpdateCollection.Add($update) | out-null } # download update items Write-Host "Download update items" $Downloader = $Session.CreateUpdateDownloader() $Downloader.Updates = $UpdateCollection $Downloader.Download() # install update items Write-Host "Install update items" $Installer = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Installer $Installer.Updates = $UpdateCollection $InstallationResult = $Installer.Install() # Check Result if ($InstallationResult.ResultCode -eq 2){ Write-Host "Update Success" } else { Write-Host "Some updates could not installed" } if ($InstallationResult.RebootRequired){ Write-Host "System needs to reboot." } Write-Host "Finish Windows Update." } I hope this helps.
Regards,
Paul Csiki

BartB reacted to Chris in Automate Enable User Support Request
Yes it is possible. Please run this PowerShell script on all your systems via Automation:
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\" -Name EnableUserSupportRequest -Value "1" You can read more about automation from here: https://www.pulseway.com/blog/improve-your-productivity-and-efficiency-with-pulseway-automation

BartB reacted to Chris in 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.

BartB reacted to Paul in setup notifications remotely
Hi,
Yes, you can remotely edit the configuration of windows agents through the Pulseway Dashboard (right click on an online Windows system and click theEdit Configuration from the context menu) or from any other Pulseway agent through the Pulseway Manager app (In the Account tab click on the Manage Systems button, select an online Windows system and click the Edit Settings button).
Alternatively you can provision an entire group of systems through the means of Pulseway Group Policies (configured from any Windows agent through the Pulseway Manager app in the Manage Systems -> Manage Group Policies).

BartB reacted to Hanfelt in Pulseway and chocolatey software distribution
Hello everyone im trying out Pulseway right now but i wanted to give you a nice idea how you can push software to clients in an easy way.
You could use chocolatey and then just open a powershell session and type for example choco upgrade all -y to upgrade all applications installed to latest version. You can type choco install 7zip -y to install 7-zip. and so on.
You can read more at chocolatey website. You can also set up your own repo for software and updates.
Im using proget to host my internal choco server.
Just my two cents

BartB got a reaction from 180D in Run a Script
Currently Rules only allow you to run a Scheduled Task on demand. It would be nice to just be able to run a script, like batch or powershell, instead of having to create a Sched Task that runs that script.
