Root password change policy

Has anyone created a worklet to change the root password on Linux machines? Can Secrets be leveraged maybe to have this automated on a 90-120 days basis maybe?

Papercut Deployment

Has anyone had any success deploying the PaperCut Client via Automox? I have tried every angle I can think of and they all time out, or say it was successful but nothing was installed! From PC’s knowledge base it can be deployed via GPO or “ automated software deployment ”  I am just banging my head here lol

Win a Lego Otto Set: What's a fun project you're working on outside of work?

I thought it would be fun to have some additional questions each quarter that we could all respond to here in our welcome category! “Tell us a bit about yourself” is always a little too broad. So the question is: What's a fun project you're working on outside of work? By creating an account and answering this discussion question (or simply introducing yourself like normal) you will be entered to win a new Lego Otto set! Our employees have been going wild for these Lego sets so I think you’ll love them too!

User Role - More Ganularity

Is it possible to assign a role that enable the user to execute policies, but not allow them to add/delete/edit policies? It would also be helpful to assign permissions based on Group membership or some other construct where devices belong to an organisational unit. - For example, delegating controls to a regional IT team, or to a team that supports end-user devices, but should not be able to manage servers.

Required Software MSI override code returns a failure when run

I’m trying to push to my users an update to an application called Newsboss.Typically if I just need to run an MSI then I use the override code provided when I load the file into the required software policy, and that has worked well so far. This time I get the response “failed to install software:” in the activity report. If I copy the override code to Powershell ISE and run it then it works as intended, so the code clearly works. What would Automox be doing differently than I am doing in Powershell ISE?

Dashboard not refreshing or not synching

The dashboard was working great however over the last couple of days it is showing that I have more patches to apply than I really need. For example it shows I have 23 new patches that are critical but when I click on the 23 then go to open up devices needing any of these patches the lists are empty. It’s been this way for a couple of days now. Is there something that updates the dashboard that is separate from the device scans? With the devices showing they do not need this patch but the dashboard showing the 23 critical updates for different devices something is obviously not in synch. Thanks

Files with square brackets in filename

As per the title, I need to copy a file that has [ ] in the filename. When trying to upload, it complains that they’re illegal characters? I guess the workaround would be to upload it without the square brackets, then include a PS command to rename it once it’s been copied down? Any other workarounds (or a fix?) ThanksDanny

Managing 'stale' MS Teams installs under Windows

We use Tenable.io for vulnerability scanning and it has flagged a number of Windows endpoints that have old versions of Teams installed. I was puzzled by this as Automox patches Teams, and it turns out that because we’re using the machine wide installer, the Teams application is being installed into the user’s Appdata directory. This will only get updated if the user logs in but we don’t regularly log in with some accounts.I’ve read suggested fixes including:Create a GPO that deletes old accounts from the machines. This is problematic for us IT admins. Remove the machine wide installer so that Teams is not automatically installed when a user first logs in.Has anyone found a way to resolve this using Automox? I’d be interested to learn how others have resolved this. TIA

Deploy AutomoxAgent to macOS via Microsoft Endpoint Manager (intune)

I have created a deployment configuration via the Microsoft Intune dashboard. Before I deployed the app I had to convert it to an intunemac using IntuneAppUtil. In my Intune dashboard, it says the app has been installed on the macOS (Big Sur) device. Using the terminal I can indeed see the agent installed in /usr/local/bin/amagent. But when I checked my Automox devices dashboard I don’t see the device registered. Has anyone done this before successfully what additional steps have you done? Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 3.55.18 PM1118×623 47.8 KB Thanks.

Feature request: Crowdstrike deploy via tags

We’ve been making good use of the Automox Agent Deployer and it really has helped us get started quickly. As we enter the next phase of our rollout, we want to target deployments with a given Automox Key to a subset of machines that share a Crowdstrike Host Group with machines we don’t want to target - so we’d really like to be able to deploy using FalconGroupingTag and SensorGroupingTag.I think our workarounds would be move machines into different Crowdstrike Host Groups, which would be challenging due to our other integrations, or manually run the script against each host via Crowdstrike RTR, which would require other development work and doesn’t make use of the excellent Automox Agent Deployer that is already built.

Hey Folks, We were told that automox team has this road map on agent tamper protection last year, Where are we on this do we have any ETA when this will be implemented.This would be very useful and does not let end users tamper or play with the agents when they are provided with admin rights.
