@Mrichards and @cfrieberg - you might find this one useful for your purposes, around installing multiple software titles on a newly imaged machine.

ahh very interesting thanks @Nic and @Tony - we will review this


Would we have to update the serverID each time then? The idea helps overall but still not fully automated if that is the case

So this will help a little, repurposed @JHagstrom’s script for API calls (I’m still an API noob) for us to be able to find the correct device ID. So you would basically attach this to a policy that would kick off all other policies that you wanted as a baseline. Next step would be to figure out how to incorporate this into a outgoing slack webhook or something similar so our helpdesk would be able to just one button press in slack to provision a workstation.

(According to Nic’s last Office hours, you can just go to the device page and mass click all the policies and they will queue up nicely). So thats also another route.

Also, I haven’t figured out a way to get a device’s ID without pulling the entire org’s data and doing a giant foreach loop. Feature request to embed that deviceID somewhere where we can call it locally?

#User defined Variables:


$apiKey = 'Your API key here'


$policies = @("array","of","policies")





###


#Start of code


$apiUrl = "https://console.automox.com/api/servers/"


$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionaryc.String],rString]]"


$headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer $apiKey")





#Get all devices in the org to parse


$response = Invoke-RestMethod $apiUrl -Method 'GET' -Headers $headers -Body $body


$response | ConvertTo-Json


$currentMachineName = $env:COMPUTERNAME;


#Perform loop to figure out what our deviceID is and populate variables


foreach($server in $response)


{


	$name = $server.name;	


    if($currentMachineName -eq $name)


    {


		$serverid = $server.id


		$orgID = $server.organization_id


     }


}


foreach ($policy in $policies) {


    $headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $apiKey" }


    $url = "https://console.automox.com/api/policies/$policy/action?o=$orgID&action=remediateServer&serverId=$serverID"


    Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Uri $url -Headers $headers


}

I’ve been thinking this one over and I think the easiest way to get a list of server IDs for the list of new devices you are imaging is from exporting the devices page CSV.

You could filter the devices page either by Recently Added, or by group if you have all those new machines in a group ready to have software installed. When you export the CSV the first column has the device/server ID listed. Then you could modify the script to ingest that CSV and run the set of policies for all the listed devices. So basically an extra loop around the current script to pull in the first device ID, loop through all the policy API calls, then move to the next line in the CSV. Would that be feasible?
