Hey @Rhatake - Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can use custom script include Sysinternals Handle.exe (from Microsoft) via PowerShell to identify and log. Next you can create a PowerShell script under Automation > Automation hub > User Defined > Create Script. Either you can create a Task in the same page to schedule the script or run manually on multiple machines from Device > Device management > Selecting the machines > Action > Run Script. Refer to images😊

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a simple PowerShell script that you can use within Pulseway Automation to remotely eject any USB storage devices connected to a system. This can be helpful for security-conscious environments or in scenarios where USB usage needs to be tightly controlled. Works well in combination with the Disable USB Storage Access script in the built in category. The script uses Shell.Application to trigger the native "Eject" action for removable drives (DriveType = 2). Here's the version that loops through all mounted USB volumes: ✅ Works great in Pulseway automation tasks 💡 You can modify it to eject a specific drive letter if needed powershell # Eject all USB volumes using Shell.Application COM object $Eject = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application # Get all removable (DriveType = 2) volumes with drive letters $volumes = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Volume | Where-Object { $_.DriveType -eq 2 -and $_.DriveLetter } foreach ($vol in $volumes) { Write-Host "Ejecting drive $($vol.DriveLetter)..." $Eject.NameSpace(17).ParseName($vol.DriveLetter).InvokeVerb("Eject") } Notes: During my testing, I've seen that USB devices will not be removed if a process is running from the disks in question. In other words, if there is a write/read process running, the disk is not ejected. Let me know if you have questions or enhancements! -
For remote troubleshooting and logging in Pulseway, is there a good PowerShell method to first identify and log the specific process (or processes) that are currently holding a file handle on a drive before the eject command is run? -
HI All, I am trying to enable SSO on my endpoint running Windows 10 x64 by running the below PowerShell Script through Pulseway RMM, however the Task runs successfully, but does not execute on the computer and doesn't give me any errors. I have however ran the script on Windows PowerShell ISE locally on the computer and it executes without any problems. Please can someone help me understand why this script will not execute on the endpoint via Pulseway RMM. i have however ran other scripts on my test machine and they work, but for some reason this one doesn't seem to want to execute. PowerShell Script: # Set variables to indicate value and key to set $RegistryPath = 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\microsoftazuread-sso.com\autologon' $Name = 'https' $Value = '1' $Path = 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\microsoftazuread-sso.com\autologon' # Create the keys if it does not exist If (-NOT (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) { New-Item -Path "$Path" -Force | Out-Null } # Now set the value New-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $Name -Value $Value -PropertyType DWORD -Force -
Hey @Lix1 - Thanks for reaching out! Yes, this can be done by workflows. Once created, run/schedule the workflow. Refer to image.

Does Pulseway RMM specifically offer a built-in 'Run as Logged-in User' or 'Run with Impersonation' feature that would allow the script to directly target the HKCU hive of the currently active user, thus avoiding the need for complex registry path modifications? -
Hello Pulseway Support, I am currently using the Pulseway Task module to execute PowerShell scripts. My scripts require PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe) to function properly, as certain modules like HuduAPI are not supported in PowerShell 5.1. However, when I attempt to run scripts that rely on PowerShell 7 functionality, they default to PowerShell 5.1, resulting in compatibility issues and failures. I would like to request guidance on how to: Configure Pulseway to explicitly run scripts using PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe). Verify if the Pulseway PowerShell module supports PowerShell 7, and if not, what workaround or timeline is available to ensure compatibility. Please let me know how I can resolve this issue or if Pulseway tasks can be configured to execute PowerShell 7 scripts ( Powershell 7 is installed at the endpoints and the script executes as expected locally). Thank you for your support. Best regards, -

Hi, I have created a powershell script to activate a specific screensaver, password enable it and set the idle timeout value, but it does not work when I try to run it from the PulseWay Web interface. I have also tried it from a batch script, but it does not work either. Both scripts work fine when running them directly from the local computer. The Powershell script it as follows: #Values to customize $ScreenSaveActive = 1 #set to 1 if you want the screensaver enabled, 0 to disable $TimeOutValue = 60 # number of idle seconds before screensaver gets active $ScreenSaverFile = "C:\Windows\system32\mystify.scr" # full path to screensaver file $ScreenSaverIsSecure = 1 # set to 1 if you need a password to get out of screensaver, a.k.a. unlocking the pc #If the screensaver is not compliant with $ScreenSaveActive, we reset it to the preferred value if((Get-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "ScreenSaveActive").ScreenSaveActive -ne $ScreenSaveActive) { Set-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "ScreenSaveActive" -Value $ScreenSaveActive } #If user set screensaver timeout to a value larger than 1200 seconds (20 minutes), we set the value back to 1200 seconds [int]$Current_TimeOutValue = (Get-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "ScreenSaveTimeOut").ScreenSaveTimeOut if($Current_TimeOutValue -eq 0 -OR $Current_TimeOutValue -gt 1200) { Set-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "ScreenSaveTimeOut" -value 1200 } #If no screensaver file is set or if the path doesn't exist anymore, we set it to the blank screensaver $Current_ScreenSaverFile = (Get-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "SCRNSAVE.EXE")."SCRNSAVE.EXE" if($Current_ScreenSaverFile -eq "" -OR (Test-Path $Current_ScreenSaverFile) -eq $false) { Set-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "SCRNSAVE.EXE" -Value $ScreenSaverFile } #If the screensaver "lock" is not compliant with $ScreenSaverIsSecure, we reset it to the preferred value if((Get-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "ScreenSaverIsSecure").ScreenSaverIsSecure -ne $ScreenSaverIsSecure) { Set-ItemProperty -Path "hkcu:control panel\desktop" -Name "ScreenSaverIsSecure" -Value $ScreenSaverIsSecure } #Before our changes become active in the current Windows session, we need to run the following command more than 3 times for ($i=1; $i -le 4; $i++) { rundll32.exe user32.dll, UpdatePerUserSystemParameters } I have also tried this from batch script, but it does not work either. @echo off reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v SCRNSAVE.EXE /t REG_SZ /d C:\Windows\System32\Mystify.scr /f reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveActive /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveTimeOut /t REG_SZ /d 60 /f reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaverIsSecure /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f -
Hello All, I am attempting to install puslway by using a powershell script. what i am trying to acomplish is being able to have a way to run a script against a windows machine either via intune or A provisioning package to install pulsway during New deivce provisioning. I have a way to do the install using an MSI file but im worried about the installer expiring, so i was trying to find a way to install pulsway using the installer link which does not expire. Thanks for any help you can provide. -

Up until the most recent update to Pulseway, I was able to install the Huntress agent via their provided Powershell script at: https://github.com/huntresslabs/deployment-scripts/blob/main/Powershell/InstallHuntress.powershellv2.ps1 This script includes the "param" command, which has to be the first line of the script in order to run. After the recent update to Pulseway, all scripts that are run add an $ENV_AgentTemp variable to the top of the script, see screenshot below: This prevents the script from running correctly, see screenshot below of the error: Please note that the powershell output shows the error on line 32, whereas in the script it is on line 31, which is what led me on the path to find that the extra line was being added at the top of the script by Pulseway. Is there a way to prevent that first line from being added to the script, or do I need to contact Huntress and have them rework a different version of the script that doesn't include the "param" command? Cheers.

HI Team Is there a way to remotely enable/disable notifications for a specific endpoint via the Admin Console (mydomain.pulseway.com/app/main/systems/{system_id}/details) under Manage > Execute Powershell? I want to disable the "Send notification when computer is offline" but is there a way i can do it with remote powershell/scripting without logging into the computer?

Is there a way to force use of Powershell 7.2 when running powershell scripts in Pulseway? -
So, I have been using the workflow automation to much sucess. I have one activating script upon logon. It used to work wonderfully even though every time it ran it reported "Failed" in workflow status. It seems that my PowerShell scripts hang up the workflow. These two scripts write back to custom variables on each machine when they run. I just tested and it does not seem to matter whether the custom variable code snippet is in the script or not. It is not possible to successfully run a workflow with any steps after a PowerShell script currently. Does anyone have any way to fix this, I tried adding "exit" at the end and that didn't help. I'm also going to contact support and see what they say. -Hayley

Hi, My requirement is to monitor hardware components in a server using the REST API and Powershell. Currently I'm working at Fujitsu servers and I'm able to get the necessary monitoring information to Powershell objects from Fujitsu iRMC (Baseboard Management Controller) using the REST API. However, proceeding from here is the issue. I want to know how to feed the queried information to Pulseway and generate notifications based on the thresholds that will be defined. Based on the research I've done it seems like I need to create a plugin and add it to the Pulseway Manager. (Not 100% sure about this) Could you please help on how to get this done? Thanks, Randula. -
Hello, Good morning, I have a Powershell script which should install a certain software at our customer. During the installation a key is needed. I would like to enter this key every time I run the script, is this possible? Background is that we have different keys for each customer, so I do not have to create 10 versions of the script with different keys. -
I'm trying to start an application that will start via PS script. I create pulseway script using Windows Powershell to run this command but I can't get the application to start. $env:Path += "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetDocuments\ndOffice\ndOffice.exe" & "C:\Program Files (x86)\NetDocuments\ndOffice\ndOffice.exe" However if I go to the remote computer, open Windows Powershell and run these commands the application opens as desired. All my other scripts I have work on this computer, so I'm executing it correctly. Please advise. Greg -
