For me (Powershell 2 - yes I really must update!!!), this had an error. However, the below works (as a single line)
$a=Get-Date; $web = New-Object Net.WebClient; $web.DownloadString("http://client.akamai.com/install/test-objects/10MB.bin") | out-null; $t = "$((10/((Get-Date)-$a).TotalSeconds)*8) Mbps"; $t

You could monitor Event Log for event id 1020 and send notification

I use the following code to determine if the snapin is loaded or not
 
 
    # Add Exchange 2010 commandlets (if not added)
    if(!(Get-PSSnapin | where-Object {$_.name -eq "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"}))
    {
      ADD-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    }

This may be of interest - a plugin to schedule re-start or shutdown

As Chris says, you need to Install the appropriate Agent for your computers (http://www.pulseway.com/downloads). Once this is completed, select the Desktop Apps tab and install the Dashboard.

From the Dashboard, you can connect to the Agents and Remote Control.
 
Hope this helps

Found it - you are referring to the Dashboard and not the App

Probably not the reason - but notifications do not work when computer is in maintenance mode

PC Monitor Users,
 
Herewith my PC Monitor Config Plugin for Windows computers only!
 
You know how you can go into PCM Client and check/tick boxes etc. Well, now you can do it from your Device. Not everything is covered, but a lot is. The code behind the plugin, is simply changing registry values within the PC Monitor section in the registry.

Update
Have attached v1.1 with a few modifications
MobilePCMonitorConfigurator v1_1.zip

In addition - success or failure indicator of last time run

In settings, there is a 'Clear badges on exit' toggle. However, they will re-appear again if the issue is not resolved. Hope this makes sense

Were you looking for an automated system? There are two choices I can think of
 
a) Using Power of the Shell plugin which would allow a manual check
Writing your own plugin that would auto check
 
 
Paul

You place config.xml in the same directory where you placed poweroftheshell.dll

Thanks for for the changes that you made for me - much more friendly now!
 
I myself, have now expanded upon your original, by expanding some sections and added a new video card section. Have attached the plugin
 
 
PaulCsiki.SystemInfoPluginCS.zip

Due to request I have updated the plugin to support paged view. Both projects (VB and CS) support paged view configuration.
 
Paul.
 
Edit: I have fixed a mistake in the plugin. I was requiring an invalid pc monitor version. Download the new release.
PaulCsiki.SystemInfoPlugin.zip

Alternatively, you could make use of a plugin named Power of the Shell http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/274-poweroftheshell-plugin-14/

An alternative in the meantime, is to use the Powershell plugin.

You could read from a txt file containing all the computer names and then run a command against all those computer names. May need to think about credentials, but could work.

Although not automatic, you can you use the powershell line below which will show true or false. If True, anticipate disk failure at some point.


gwmi -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus -property PredictFailure

Indeed. For those who have more than one computer to manage, you can change the UDP port number within the client and then you can port forward on router to more tnah one internal computer

Or, you could use the Powershell Plugin (Poweroftheshell) to change the registry.

http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/274-poweroftheshell-plugin-12/

You could install the 'Power of the Shell' (POTS) plugin and write a Powershell script to tun the installer. However, you need to get at that machine to install POTS first. But then you installed PCM. Or, did you prep machine and then despatch it somewhere?

Additionally, you could use the terminal option within PCM and run the commands to install the software silently (no user prompts required).
