I've been successful in placing Windows Server 2012r2, Windows 10 Pro and Windows 7 Pro machines in maintenance mode.

Upgraded to the new version today. Just so happened was on-boarding a new customer. With the new group policy and token based authentication, the remote installation of an agent is very simple and much easier. Just a simple: msiexec /i <link_to_msi_installer> /qn Thanks Pulseway!

 

I use a version of the script included in Pulseway as mentioned here: 

 

This really depends on what you are looking to clean. Are you only wanting to delete temporary files for Windows and IE?

The best way to perform this is through Group Policy, but the following commands will perform the same:

Reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v DisableAntiSpyware /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DisableRealtimeMonitoring /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DDisableOnAccessProtection /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

 

 

The attached PowerShell file will accomplish what you are looking for. This creates the shortcut in the Public\Desktop folder so it appears on the desktop of all users/profiles.

It would be beneficial to add either the percentage of uptime or downtime to the Executive Report.

When you are using the unattended installation method without a configuration file, is there a way to lock it so the end-user cannot change the settings?

Also, when using the /i switch you can place the download path to pulseway's servers for download:

 msiexec /i https://www.pulseway.com/download/Pulseway_x64.msi /qn ALLUSERS=1 username=UUU  password=PPP group=GGG server=SSS /L*v PulsewayInstall.log
