[Script on multiple systems]

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 also attached.)

I tried the following:
- Run the script locally on a system > Runs successfully. (Probably permission error?)
- Enabled the Powershell User Impersonation in the Pulseway Agent Manager (Administrator permissions) > Same error.
- Tried using SubInACL to fix (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/windows-update-error-0x80070005-need-a-fix-click/e4cb8700-f215-4f1a-8bd4-6457ac619c19) > SubInACL error: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing - RegSetKeySecurity Error : 5 Access is denied." > Still not fixed.

I keep getting this error on a dosin of systems but can't figure out what the exact cause/problem is.

Facts:
- Not Windows Server version related > Error occurs on multiple Windows Server versions.
- Script runs successfull locally on systems.

Any ideas?

[PowerShell command to disable the windows update notification]

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your response. I started to use the Agent Group  Policy. I configured the Agent Group Policy to my needs but I still am wondering how it works.
When I open the Pulseway Manager on the same server for which I created the Agent Group Policy, I checked the Notification- and the Storage settings but they are different from the Agent Group Policy. 

Which settings are leading? The Agent Group Policy from the Pulseway Portal or the Pulseway Manager?

[PowerShell command to disable the windows update notification]

Hi,

For many servers I want to disable the 'Send a notification when updates are available with priority' option.
I would like to know if there is any PowerShell command which disables this function in the Pulseway Manager (Agent)?

Kind regards,

Laurens

[Powershell Script to automate veeam backup jobs]

Hi there,

Are there possibility's to create a Powershell script which starts a Veeam backup of a VM which you can add to the Task section?

We would like to automate the Windows Updates for the VM's, but before they update we would like to make a backup/snapshot of the VM first.
