Thank you Chris. This is not a bug then as it turns out the problem is with WMI like you said.
How can we move this post from the "Bugs" section to the Knowledge base?
 
The computer were failing with error "Alias not found" when typing in wmic WITH and WITHOUT specifying any queries.
The wmic command itself was able to run and c:\windows\system32\Wbem was listed in the path
WINmgmt /verifyrepository - WMI repository shows consistent
But when running (WMImgmt.msc) WMI Mangement console -> Right Click WMI Control -> Properties,  there were errors:  W32 WMI "invalid class" and "invalid path"
Fixed this with the below batch file found on some site that I cant remember

Hi @Louwrens,
If Pulseway fails to read this data from your monitored systems, then it is not shown in report. Please verify that there are no issues with WMI on your monitored system.

Hi @Louwrens,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have logged it as a feature request, therefore our developers will consider the possibility to introduce this functionality into the future.

It would be good to have a option to reboot an endpoint in safe mode with Pulseway running
helps with fixing issues etc

Hi @Spicy Support,
Currently this option is available for PowerShell scripts if the PowerShell impersonation is configured from the Pulseway Manager -> Settings -> Runtime on the remote system on which this script will run.
Note: this script will still be executed in session zero with no GUI.
Alternatively you may deploy PsExec on your systems to interact with user session with GUI. For more details abut this, please check out this post:
 
 

I know this would be a major change in the reporting interface, but how about an option to interact with the results of a report.
Maybe one can choose  an additional "Report Format" when editing a report and have an option for Interactive?
When this is enabled the output of the report is immediately displayed in web format with hyperlinks to automate certain tasks by sending a back-end task/script to the agent.
For example:
Report                                          Interaction Script Task (Relayed to the agent)
Applications                               link next to each agent to uninstall the application
Assets                                        link to create asset tag if none exist
OS Patching                               link to assign Policy / Update now
3rd Party Patching                    link next to each agent to update the application
Drive Usage                               link to run a temp files cleanup job
Anti-virus                                    install AV / Run Scan / Update (not sure how this ties in to the existing Kaspersky deployment)
