Good afternoon, I have been messing around with the script for windows updates. This works as long as the user is only in the local admin group of the server. But with a domain controller there is no other option than to put the user in the local administrator group and in the domain administrators group. And then the script does not work due to rights. Would it be possible to add a function at pulseway where you can add "execute with highest privileges" such as when creating a task in windows.

It works fine now!

@Chris It was a domain user. I now tried it with a local admin and it looks like its working! i keep you guys posted when the next update is available Thanks!!

hey @Chris, I have given the user pulseway full control on the folder but keep getting the same error.

Good evening, I would like to use the standard script for windows that is in pulseway automation. But I get this error message: Checking for Windows updates Downloading updates Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) At C:\Program Files\Pulseway\automation_9fdca742_c373_41fb_80e3_ce2b245530ca.ps1:25 char:5 + $Downloader = $Session.CreateUpdateDownloader() + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [], UnauthorizedAccessException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException The user used to execute the script (Settings - runtime) is a domain admin. The script works if I execute powershell as an administrator. In pulseway, with automation I cannot state that the script must be executed as admin. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon, We have installed quite a few synologies at customers for which I would like to monitor the free space. I tried with SNMP but I am not completely satisfied with it and the notification from SNMP was not made for this. Is there another way to monitor this? SMB share, mapped drives, ..? Thanks in advance! With polite regards, Chris
