  1. 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.

  3. 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!

    Script:

    Write-Host "Checking for Windows updates"
    $UpdateCollection = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.UpdateColl
    $Searcher = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Searcher
    $Session = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session

    $Searcher = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Searcher
    $results = $searcher.search("Type='software' AND IsInstalled = 0 AND IsHidden = 0 AND AutoSelectOnWebSites = 1")

    #Install WindowsUpdate Module
    Set-PSRepository -Name 'PSGallery' -InstallationPolicy Trusted
    Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate

    # Install Update
    if ($results.Updates.Count -eq 0) {
        Write-Host "No updates found"
        # no updates.
    } else {
        # setup update collection
        foreach ($update in $results.Updates){
            $UpdateCollection.Add($update) | out-null
        }

        # download update items
        Write-Host "Downloading updates"
        $Downloader = $Session.CreateUpdateDownloader()
        $Downloader.Updates = $UpdateCollection
        $Downloader.Download()

        # install update items
        Write-Host "Installing updates"
        $Installer = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Installer
        $Installer.Updates = $UpdateCollection
        $InstallationResult = $Installer.Install()
        # Check Result
        if ($InstallationResult.ResultCode -eq 2){
            Write-Host "Updates installed successfully"
        } else {
            Write-Host "Some updates could not be installed"
        }
        if ($InstallationResult.RebootRequired){
            Write-Host "System needs to reboot"
            # uncomment the following line to automatically reboot the system if a reboot is required after the updates are installed
            #shutdown -r -f -t 300 -c "Rebooting in 5 minutes to apply Windows updates"
        }
    }

  4. 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
