    Paul got a reaction from pablohoney in Service not starting on reboot   
    There is a built-in script called "Increase Windows Service Timeout at Startup" that performs this change.

    Paul reacted to GTDFW in Device count in Tags   
    I am wanting to create a tag called server and assign it to all the servers I manage.
    It would be very helpful if Pulseway would show a count of how many devices have this tag.
    Better yet show a similar count like shown in the Groups tab.
    29 online and 1 offline systems

    Paul reacted to DigitalDentist in Install/update veeam and import license and config file   
    This will download and install or upgrade veeam and install a license if you have one, finally it will import a config file if one is available. I use Dropbox and a shared link. When using Dropbox be sure and change the zero at the end to 1 to download.
    You if course would have to update the dl links. Any questions let me know.

    Paul reacted to Hanfelt in Pulseway and chocolatey software distribution   
    Hello everyone im trying out Pulseway right now but i wanted to give you a nice idea how you can push software to clients in an easy way.
    You could use chocolatey and then just open a powershell session and type for example choco upgrade all -y to upgrade all applications installed to latest version. You can type choco install 7zip -y to install 7-zip. and so on.
    You can read more at chocolatey website. You can also set up your own repo for software and updates.
    Im using proget to host my internal choco server.
    Just my two cents

    Paul got a reaction from Martin_T in User Submitted Tickets   
    Hi Martin,
    Yes, it's definitely possible to be done via an API request to the PSA. We expose a SOAP API and you can download it's description file from this link. I'd start by looking at the Authenticate method and then at the CreateTicket and CreateTicketMinimal methods. You can find a list of all methods and samples requests / responses over here.
    Let me know if I can help you with the implementation.

    Hi Tim,
    This feature is planned to come in tandem with the centralized agent configuration management feature. In the mean time you can centrally update the group name of Windows and Linux systems through the automation module by changing the system registry or the config file for Linux.
    Let me know if I can help you with the script.
