In the active directory module we can see users that are locked out, is it possible to add users with expired passwords as well.
Instead if searching for a user sometimes I just want to see a list of users, would it be possible to show all users Instead of searching for them?
Reason being it's a quick way to help clients with expired passwords and a quick way to see any abnormal accounts in AD.

Hi,
Have you tried to run the report 'Installed Software'? Open the Pulseway WebApp -> Reporting -> Legacy -> Installed Software.
I actually just came across this report this evening. So one other question:
Would it be possible to uninstall applications from this report? Currently it just shows which system the software is installed on. If I could long press on the machine the software is installed on and either go to the machine or uninstall would be awesome. Currently you have to back out of the report go to the machine and uninstall. Is this feasible?

I have Pulseway configured on 60 servers all at different locations. I'm waiting to deploy to the workstations until I get it configured just right. My question is: is there a way to get a list of installed programs across all devices? Say I need to know what version of chrome is installed on all the devices, to gauge which ones need updated etc -how would I go about doing that if it's possible?
-
OK Thanks Chris
I never even payed attention to that part. That's only on the web app right? Is there any method of sorting on the phone apps. It looks like it's just sorted by date and priority.
I use both the web and phone apps. The other techs generally only use the phone apps.
-
It would be nice if instead of only by date or severity we could sort notifications by type. All low disk space alerts, all server offline etc.

Is there anyway in the web or the mobile apps when viewing the screen to have it auto refresh?
Sometimes I have to few the screen for extended periods of time and I'm constantly hitting refresh. It would be nice if it auto refreshed every 15 or 30 seconds while the screen view was active
-
Thanks for the assistance. I will add that to the script and see if it's resolved.

Can someone tell me why this script works locally from the server but not from Pulseway. I've tested running the script both with impersonation enabled and disabled. Both tests were done on server 2012 R2. One with default Powershell version and one with 5.1. This script runs perfectly fine from the server itself just not through pulseway. I have several scripts that give the same type of error. I'd appreciate any help so I can figure this out. It seems like Pulseway doesn't like certain characters?
ForEach ($COMPUTER in (Get-ADComputer -Filter '*' | Select -ExpandProperty Name))
{
$key = “SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\Results\Install”
$keytype = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]::LocalMachine
$RemoteBase = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey($keytype,$Server)
$regKey = $RemoteBase.OpenSubKey($key)
$KeyValue = $regkey.GetValue(”LastSuccessTime”)
$System = (Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
if ($KeyValue -lt $System)
{
Write-Host " "
Write-Host $computer "Last time updates were installed was: " $KeyValue
}
}
This is what it looks like when ran from the server without involving pulseway

Whenever there is a note added to the note section is there any way to know when looking through the systems? Maybe change the badge color whenever a note is present? Currently I have to just click on each note section to see if notes have been inputted. If I could tell just by glancing at the section that would be ideal.

This script will set the virtual machine to auto start whenever the host reboots, it will also update Hyper V integration services. Be sure and change your server names to match. Server0 is host and server1 is the Hyper V. Run on Host.

No if possible I'd like to be able to monitor a service or process that I long press on from the mobile app. Instead of adding all the process to be monitored from the web app.
-
The account is domain admin on server 2012 R2. Uac disabled. Wmf 5 1
-
The account is an account with sufficient rights.
-
It would be nice if on the mobile apps when you click on processes you could long press on a service and add it to the list of monitored services. This way you can do it after the install if needed. Currently the only option is to kill process.

Is it possible to be able to create scopes on the Android app? Use case is all of the built in scripts default to all systems. It would be great if I could adjust the scope on the Android app. I'm trying to avoid logging into the web console, creating a scope and modifying a task, esp for a script I may only have a need to run once on a specific group. Pulseway is great and I love it, it doesn't seem like it scales well. If I add 10 machines a week I would constantly be adjusting things on the web console. I should be able to click any group and run scripts for that group without making a scope etc. Have I missed something or is this possible?
For instance under the group tasks would be awesome if it listed automation and reports

Copy the encrypted values from the registry from a configured system and set them via an automation script.

Ok so I do this, then the window update script fails with an error can't call a null expression...the reboot script works however. Is there a way to have both work?

Is there anyway to get a report of the results of a script that was ran. For instance the check if computer has 2 hdd script, If I run this against 90 computers I don't want to click on each computer, click on the script, click again to see the results. It would be awesome if I was able to just see a list of failed and a list of passed, Is this possible?

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. When using Dropbox be sure and change the zero at the end to 1 to download.
You if course would have to update the dl links. Any questions let me know.

Say I run this against 90 computers is there any way to get a notification of which computers rebooted?

Awesome thank you!

Is there anyway to configure powershell impersonation remotely? I am trying to run a few different powershell scripts and I'm getting access denied. I assume BC it's running as system. Is there a way around this ? Or a way to configure this option remotely?
This is the script I'm trying to run. It runs fine under my account.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -Like "Windows 7*"} | foreach {restart-computer $_.name -force}Thanks in advance

Wrote this script with the help of Support. Thanks Ermins!

Is there anyway to show the last 3 scripts that have been ran on a system. Perhaps right below the run automation scripts. Nothing too detailed, but per system it would be nice to see what's been ran recently maybe title of script ran date and complete or failed status.
