Hello and TYIA~ I am trying to put together a work flow that will hold a ticket for 7-days once we believe it is complete. Once assigned to a particular status, I would like the ticket to stay open for 7-days, then if there are no further updates, close itself. Does anyone have anything like this they wouldn't mind sharing? -

Hello, I first noticed this problem after performing a new install of agent 4.8.3 on an SBS 2011 server. I thought it was related to just this Server (which has been rebooted since install and the firewall is disabled), but found that this error occurs with a number of Windows 7 hosts as well. I can't immediately establish the reason why some hosts connect and others don't. I've not encountered this error before so am unsure where to start with troubleshooting. Appreciate any assistance.

Hi All, New to the software and love its ease of use. I am looking for an update from the roadmap on when the custom reporting may be available? Things like asset reporting on all PCs with x of software (Eg. office 2010) or License numbers of x software.Have a microsoft audit for example and need to gather all the FPP license numbers! All the information you appear to have already from the summary and detail asset reports its just the selection of those items into one report. or if any one knows a script that performs that task? -
Hey Guys, It would be great if we had some integration with https://chocolatey.org for windows package management, its basically like apt-get or yum for windows which seems a lot better IMHO then ninite type solutions. Having its own tab under group policy for example to install selected apps across multiple machines and keep them updated within patch windows for example. This would be a huge benefit for Pulseway if done well. https://chocolatey.org/about https://chocolatey.org/pricing at only $3/year per machine its pretty competitive pricing. Cheers, Quenten -
Hi. I am making an Automation Script that updates a custom plugin-file, that might is always be in use, to a newer version. If the plugin doesn't already exist everything works fine. But if it already exist it cannot be overwritten, because the Pulseway Service (and managers, if any are running) is using the file. My solution is to stop the service, overwrite the file and start the service. It works very well when executing manually in ISE, but not when executed as an Automation Script from Pulseway. It looks like the entire script is terminated when the service stops, and the execution doesn't return anything in execution history - not even an error. Could anyone help me with the best practice for updating a plugin dll-file from an Automation Script. Best Regards, Martin Stevnhoved -

My predecessor had created a script that would install a desktop link to our help desk. We no longer use this solution and I want to have the shortcut removed from every device. I can't seem to find a script to do this. I hope someone could help. This is the script that he had used: @echo off md C:\icon copy "\\edmws001\image\Nortrux_Helpdesk_icon.ico" "c:\icon" icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant Administrators:F icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant Users:F icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant INTERACTIVE:F attrib -R "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" copy "\\edmws001\image\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" attrib +R "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant Users:R icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant Administrators:R icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant INTERACTIVE:R icacls "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Nortrux IT Help Desk.lnk" /inheritance:r /grant SYSTEM:F -
Hi, I have have some requests from management and staff using the dashboard at our company. Please could some of these be addressed or looked at? We would like to apply/replace the pulseway logo with our company logo, but we have no need for enterprise at this time (this may change in the future). Being able to drag an image to the dashboard installation folder as a simple start would be good, or "select an image" option in the settings - As a bonus, changing the colours of background and text would be fantastic. Custom sizing of text within the dashboard would help, as playing around with dpi within windows causes things to go onto two pages. (Changing clock size would be bonus cookies) Order by severity, I think I may have requested this before,(not yet addressed) this makes total sense to be able to order the list by what severity EG: critical first. Split groups on to separate pages, this is a nicety if you have multiple machines on multiple sites, this would allow better use of screen space especially on 65"+ TV's The coloured icons could use a flashing feature to catch your eye, EG: a critical alert would make it flash red and blue/black, this is instead of a steady amber or red. Had to edit this one in: Pulseway Manager needs to give us an option to mark an offline server as critical, a simply notification will not email our zendesk for example. Last but not least: can we get a changelog pop up when updates arrive, think this would be beneficial to show customers that there is continued development in progress. - I am aware that you run a blog for this kind of thing. Many Thanks, Kind Regards, TIM STARK -

I am trying to create a PowerShell script that will run DBCC checks on a SQL server and then report status back to Pulseway. I have a working script that I can run from the command line but the script will not run correctly when sent as a Pulseway script. Here are the details. The script fails because it is unable to authenticate to the SQL server. The SQL Server is running on the same machine as I am running the script on. Thus wil are not dealing with cross machine accounts. I have put debug code into the script and the account reported back by PowerShell is MACHINENAME$. The machine is in a domain and thus the script appears to be reporting back the machine account in the domain. This implies to me that when Pulseway runs a script it is using the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account and that the MACHINENAME$ account would then be used for any network access. Is this correct? I have given SQL Server rights to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as well as DOMAIN\MACHINENAME$ and NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE. Non of these rights appear to allow me to connect to SQL. Has anyone ever written Powershell code for Pulseway and been able to connect to SQL Server? Any ideas, thoughts or details on the user contexts used by Pulseway would be helpful. -

Our business operates with hundreds of products in our inventory and going through all of them and manually entering them into PSA was not exactly an option, and without an import function, I had to develop an import tool that uses the PSA API. I developed it originally with hard coded parameters, in a single class, but went back today and improved it for distribution to everyone here. To view the source code, check out the repository at https://bitbucket.org/garrettbromley/pulseway-product-import/ To download the executable files, download PulsewayProductImport-v2.zip at https://bitbucket.org/garrettbromley/pulseway-product-import/downloads/ Instructions: Download the Excel template and add your inventory into that sheet. I personally had a Microsoft Surface that I walked around with and inventoried everything. To change the categories/sub categories, open the "Back End" tab on the sheet and edit those tables to your liking The only column that isn't required is the UPC Code. Run the Import Tool Input your PSA credentials Type in the full directory to the excel sheet (make sure its closed before running it) Confirm the number of detected items Watch the tool work Make a stock adjustment with the levels of stock for each item (this unfortunately cannot be automated) It will notify you how many items have successfully been imported and which ones failed (if any) and why. Please let me know if you have any questions! I will post changelogs if any updates are made. -
A bit of introduction: I'm a happy user of Pulseway Manager. I use Pulseway Manager Enterprise (but for this topic it doesn't really matter). I manage quite large deployment with 250 Pulseway monitored machines. Someone else installed (via GPO) and did some basic setup. After running basic setup for a while, someone else changed some settings and tweaked it a bit. Finally ... again someone said lets change things around... This got me to this point... I have to change: CPU For all servers CPU > 90% for 30minutes > CRITICAL RAM RAM on 1 HOST – 5% for 30 min > CRITICAL Disable Low RAM on VM's Disable Low RAM in Azure Enable storage for any drives the servers have 20GB free > ELEVATED 10GB free > CRITICAL While I could just assign some poor guy to go thru 60+ servers and change things, make sure those are correct I decided it's time to introduce PowerShell for those Active Directory admins out there... while I know there is Pulseway GPO but it's kind of limited, and doesn't give much flexibility (for example drive monitoring). It also overwrites settings set locally without Pulseway actually showing them on Client. After playing a bit... I managed to write: Clear-Host Import-Module PSPulsewayManager -Force ### Tests - Account Page ### Get-PulsewayMaintenanceMode Set-PulsewayMaintenanceMode -Toggle $false -Verbose Get-PulsewayGroupName Set-PulsewayGroupName -GroupName 'EVOTEC' -Verbose Get-PulsewayComputerName Set-PulsewayComputerName -NewComputerName 'EVO1' -Verbose ### Set settings remotly... $Computer = 'AD1' Get-PulsewayMaintenanceMode -Computer $Computer Set-PulsewayMaintenanceMode -Computer $Computer -Toggle $false -Verbose Get-PulsewayGroupName -Computer $Computer Set-PulsewayGroupName -Computer $Computer -GroupName 'EVOTEC' -Verbose Get-PulsewayComputerName -Computer $Computer Set-PulsewayComputerName -Computer $Computer -NewComputerName 'AD1' -Verbose And another tab...

I don't want to spend time on it if there's no one else needing this I've published it on github https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSPulsewayManager But its also published in PowerShellGallery which allows you to install it .... Install-Module PSPulsewayManager Import-Module PSPulsewayManager Use the commands.. Keep in mind I've not spent a ton of time on it. There are bugs, some things are not checked.. but it does work ;-) -
We currently use TeamViewer as our remote support software and like to have Pulseway as a backup to that, but one thing that we like to do is record our sessions for both accountability and to have the ability to reference something we have done in the past to resolve an issue or to double check one's work. If Pulseway is to compete with this, I would like to see the ability to record these sessions.

I have several non-critical virtual servers that do not start automatically with our Hyper-V cluster that I want to start manually once I know all critical servers are back on line after a cluster reboot, but these do not show up in the list of VMs for each host on either the Android or PC app. I only see the 'running' VMs. Am I missing something in config of Pulseway Manager (v5.4.7) other than just enabling 'Monitor and Manage Hyper-V'? According to this page https://www.pulseway.com/hyperv I should see all VMs configured on a host, and be able to do lots of other things. -
Hi Just running a ping -t command via terminal on a remote device using Pulseway. Normally to halt it I would do Cntl+C to stop it, locally. Can't see how to do this using the Pulseway app. Sorry - have just found the close session command which terminates the Terminal session. Problem solved! -
I am trying to a WR to one of my client pc's. I have purchased the licence from within the pulseway web app. Where do I find the licence key / number ? I all ready have one client installed so their is no option to select trial again...... Also their is no "Trial Site" in the WR console to correspond to my in app WR purchase? -
I was wondering if there was a way to select multiple alerts to delete them, without deleting all or deleting one at a time. Say someone forgets to turn on maintenance mode and Reboots 20 servers. Now there are 40 events one for shutting down and one for being online. Now they want to delete all theses events but keep the other ones that are pending. I would like to be able to go into the dashboard and hold CTRL and select them or select one and hold shift to select the ones in between that and another. Another improvement could be the ability to sort the columns in the Dashboard Notification view. Thanks!!! -
Hi, This might be related to this topic, but over the last week I'm seeing notifications for all updates, not just Windows Defender. If I delete the notification it comes back again, checking the server shows "26 optional updates are available" (note "optional") Pulseway setting: Notifications > Status > "Send a notification when critical or important updates are available with priority" = Automatic My notification on my mobile is reading "26 important updates are available..." Clicking into the mobile app and checking the Windows Updates it's reporting them as "important" when they aren't. For example the server itself lists KB2386667 as recommended but it's listed as important in Pulseway. -
Small Correction: The scheduled task can be run on demand, but by default it restarts the pulseway service once a day at 11am, which in theory, should force it to check for updates. So one of the problems I ran into with pulseway is, sometimes I would want to restart the service. Doesn't really matter why, could be to get it to check for new updates to the pulseway agent and get them on the latest version. The problem was that if I just setup a script to restart the service, say like this ReStart-Service "Pulseway" what would happen is that it would send the command in whatever user environment pulseway runs in, it would execute it, the service would stop, and thennnn.......... nothing! Because we stopped the service, it kills whatever user environment pulseway was using including the script and it never finishes the command. It's really weird. So I setup this wonderful little script that creates a scheduled task, that can be run on demand using another script. It keeps you from running a restart service task on all your end points and suddenly losing connection with them all.... not fun. So here is the first script you put in to pulseway. Read the comments and change the working directory, user account and password to match what you use. It also requires a universal user account on all your workstations that you want to use it on. # this script will create a scheduled task that runs a powershell script that restarts the pulseway service. # This line deletes the task if it already exists. That way if you make changes to the task it will create a fresh copy of it. schtasks /delete /F /tn "Restart Pulseway" # working directory path $workd = "c:\temp" # Check to see if working directory exists and create if it does not. If (!(Test-Path -Path $workd -PathType Container)) { New-Item -Path $workd -ItemType directory } # Create a variable with the entire contents of the XML file used to create the scheduled task $text = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <Task version="1.2" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task"> <RegistrationInfo> <Date>2017-04-24T12:50:26.5825569</Date> <Author>ECHO-FAMILYPC\Echo</Author> <Description>this will restart the pulseway service, forcing it to check for and implement any updates.</Description> <URI>\Restart Pulseway</URI> </RegistrationInfo> <Triggers> <CalendarTrigger> <StartBoundary>2017-04-24T11:00:00</StartBoundary> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <ScheduleByDay> <DaysInterval>1</DaysInterval> </ScheduleByDay> </CalendarTrigger> </Triggers> <Principals> <Principal id="Author"> <UserId>S-1-5-21-3275926025-1642913270-681481828-1006</UserId> <LogonType>Password</LogonType> <RunLevel>HighestAvailable</RunLevel> </Principal> </Principals> <Settings> <MultipleInstancesPolicy>IgnoreNew</MultipleInstancesPolicy> <DisallowStartIfOnBatteries>true</DisallowStartIfOnBatteries> <StopIfGoingOnBatteries>true</StopIfGoingOnBatteries> <AllowHardTerminate>true</AllowHardTerminate> <StartWhenAvailable>true</StartWhenAvailable> <RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable>false</RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable> <IdleSettings> <StopOnIdleEnd>true</StopOnIdleEnd> <RestartOnIdle>false</RestartOnIdle> </IdleSettings> <AllowStartOnDemand>true</AllowStartOnDemand> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Hidden>false</Hidden> <RunOnlyIfIdle>false</RunOnlyIfIdle> <WakeToRun>true</WakeToRun> <ExecutionTimeLimit>PT72H</ExecutionTimeLimit> <Priority>7</Priority> </Settings> <Actions Context="Author"> <Exec> <Command>Powershell.exe</Command> <Arguments>-ExecutionPolicy Bypass '+$workd+'\rstrtPulse.ps1</Arguments> </Exec> </Actions> </Task> ' # Create a variable containing the entire contents of the powershell script that will restart the pulseway service. $text2 = 'ReStart-Service "Pulseway"' # Pump the contents of the two variables into the actuall files to be used $text | Set-Content $workd\rstrtPulse.xml $text2 | Set-Content $workd\rstrtPulse.ps1 # Command that actually creates the scheduled task.

Hello, since some days my hard disk drives don't spin down anymore while not in use. I tracked the problem down with process monitor and found out that the PCMonitor Service is accessing the drives every minute through the WMI Provider Host Service (wmiprvse.exe). I disabled in Pulseway the storage notification of local disk space on all drives but it did not help. As soon as I disable the Puleway service, the disks spin down after the configured laps of time as they should do. I'am using Pulseway since some years, but the problem occured recently and was not there before. Thanks for your help. Michael -
