  1. When entering the following, script, I get an error. The error message indicates that the script is adding a "$" character to the device name, and I can't figure out why.

    This script has been tested verbatim, working, as a locally-run script.. It will not work when pushed through Pulseway's Powershell automation. (generic PREFIX- inserted for relative anonymity)

    Screesnshots of Pulseway script Syntax attached, as well as identical, locally run syntax.

    $name = $env:UserName
    $oldName = $env:ComputerName
    $newPCName = "PREFIX-" + $name
    Rename-Computer -ComputerName $oldName -NewName $newPCName

    ###

    The error message viewed through Pulseway:

    Rename-Computer : Skip computer 'bpSurfacePro' with new name 'PREFIX-BPSURFACEPRO$' because the new name is not valid.
    The new computer name entered is not properly formatted. Standard names may contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9),
    and hyphens (-
    ), but no spaces or periods (.). The name may not consist entirely of digits, and may not be longer than
    63 characters.

    Attached screenshot of a different machine exhibiting the same issue. (Other remote user is not currently online.)

  2. I'm having this same issue - but the problem is that, if I'm not mistaken, I can't link to .exe.

    Would the best solution in the meantime be to upload the .exe installer to a web-hosted VM and deploy to each machine on Pulseway via an automated powershell script, referencing that hosted URL with proper tags?

    My environment does not have a VPN configured, and I have been tasked by the parent company to deploy the Crowdstrike Falcon Sensor - which has deliberately veered away from .msi. :( I need to deploy this on ~50 machines spread out across the country. We have no local servers, no fog node, and as I said before - no VPN. Apparently Kaspersky doesn't satisfy their requirements.

    Loving the service so far - would love to get some feedback on how to best make this work in a highly cloud-based business.
