Automox Worklets

Hello Automoxians!I wanted to share a worklet I came up with after having some challenges with the existing Flash Removal worklet.  The worklet would run, but due to various ActiveX challenges and other issues, I was always dealing with things like the Flash.ocx control getting left behind which would continue to trigger our vulnerability scanner.  I finally took the Automox provided worklet and made some enhancements and came up with the following script that works every time (at least thus far!).  I hope this helps someone else out there!Detection<#.SYNOPSIS Windows - Software Lifecycle - Uninstall Adobe Flash Player.DESCRIPTION This worklet checks for instances of Adobe Flash Player, and if found, flags the device for remediation to uninstall the application. It will also clean up any residual files left behind by Adobe Flash Player. Since

 I’ve tried multiple methods now and still can’t get a reliable notification to appear for the logged-in user through an Automox worklet. I’ve tested toast notifications, msg.exe, WPF MessageBox popups, scheduled tasks, payload files, and different execution contexts, but so far nothing consistently displays to the end userMy goal is simple: Show one popup reminder on Day 8 of uptime Do nothing on Day 9 On Day 10, show a popup and schedule a forced reboot in one hour   At this point, I’m not sure whether the issue is with my worklet, Windows restrictions, or something in my environment that’s blocking all UI attempts.Could someone please advise, or share a known-working solution or best practice for displaying user-facing notifications from an Automox worklet? Even a simple working popup example would help so I can verify whether the limitation is environment-based

For some reason, Bitlocker will not resume on some remote Dell workstations. I suspect this has to deal with not being connected to the domain when booting up/logging in. After many attempts, I finally got a working script that will resume Bitlocker even if they are not on the VPN. This has been driving me crazy for months. Hopefully this will help others. Evaluation# Check BitLocker status on C:$bitlockerStatus = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint "C:" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ProtectionStatus# BitLocker Status Legend:# 0 = Off# 1 = On# 2 = Suspended# Return 1 (non-compliant) if BitLocker is suspended (status = 2)# Return 0 (compliant) if BitLocker is enabled (status = 1)# Return 1 (non-compliant) if BitLocker is off or any other statusif ($bitlockerStatus -eq 2) { Write-Output "BitLocker is suspended." exit 1

Hello!Has anyone successfully tried to do something like...choco install notepadplusplus...in an Autromox worklet?It seems like such a simple and glorious thig to do - but alas like most simple and glorious things, it doesn’t appear to work from inside a worklet.Any ideas?Cheers,Mark

Looking to make a simple worklet to Flush and Register the DNS of a single machine or multiple machines.   Noticed there was not a worklet in the catalog.

Good morningWhat is the best to implement and utilize MSP files with AutoMox. I have tried both required software and creating a worklet with the simple PowerShell command that works when run locally on my machine. Has anyone gotten this to work?

Does anyone have a worklet to install Winget (Windows Package Manager)

I want to deploy the Windows App.  I have downloaded the .msix https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N1F85V9T8BN?hl=en-us&gl=US&ocid=pdpshare I am copying it to C:\Installs using this command - Copy-Item "Windows_App_2.0.704.0_X64_msix_en-US.msix" "C:\Installs\Windows_App_2.0.704.0_X64_msix_en-US.msix" -ForceThat works fine but I can’t get it to install using Add-AppPackage with this command - Add-AppPackage -Path "C:\Installs\Windows_App_2.0.704.0_X64_msix_en-US.msix"Does anyone have any idea how I can have Automox install this .msix? Thanks!

HiyaI am having no luck uninstalling Copilot via Worklets. Neither the Office365 or Windows app. Has anyone been able to, and if so, what Worklet did you use? What is the secret?!Thanks [removed by moderator]

Hi everyone,Trying to create a simple worklet to uninstall the Microsoft Copilot app, but not the Microsoft365 Copilot app (2 different apps).   This one line scripts locally, but doesn’t work on Automox.  When running it, I simply get this message: {"args":"","response":"[\"0\",null,null]"} Any thoughts? From my testing, the Gep-AppxPackage is the only command that works for the Microsoft Copilot app.

I had a need to remove the pre-installed Office 365 components. Thought I would share. Its a little messy and unrefined, but I tested it and its working. I’ll post update after I clean it up a little. Evaluation<#.SYNOPSIS Uninstall Application by Name - Evaluation Script OS Support: Windows 7 and above Required modules: NONE.DESCRIPTION This worklet is designed to grant an Admin the ability to uninstall an application with minimal knowledge of the bitness, installer type, or uninstall command line. By placing an application name between the single quotes, the worklet will scan the registry for the matching application. If the application is found, it will exit with an Exit code of '1' and flag the device for remediation. Usage: $appName: The application name provided must match exactly as it is displayed in "Programs and Features" (Add or Remove Progr

Shout out to the 2 authors of this worklet:  John Guarracino and Eric Liles. We’re a little late in updating all of our laptops to Windows 11 but this past month we successfully updated all of our 200 laptops using the Windows 11 Feature Update worklet. The worklet was easy to setup and the downtime for the users was minimal. Thanks!

Hi,We’ve been a Automox client since May 2022.When we started to deploy the Automox Agent to our end user Windows 10 and 11 laptops we ran into a problem after about a month when a not insignificant amount stopped communicating with the Automox console. Without exception, when we investigated we found the Automox Agent wasn't running on the end point. Starting the service or restarting the machine would fix it.Reviewing amagent.log would present messages about abnormal closure to websocket.2022/09/25 00:54:07 stompclient.go:399: Error in axstomp readframe: websocket: close 1006 (abnormal closure): unexpected EOF2022/09/25 00:54:07 stompclient.go:437: Consumer error: websocket: close 1006 (abnormal closure): unexpected EOFWe were told the root cause was because our end users connect to a corp VPN and that the momentary change in connectivity for those devices was causing the Automox agent to to crash. While I understood the lo

Hello Community!Does anyone have a worklet they can share to enable the local administrator account?Thanks!

Hi guys!We are testing Automox and are very impressed of its capabilities.  I already deployed winget successfully using Automox to our Windows machines. Now I am looking for a way to store the result of our worklet to check for winget updates into a field of the device (the “notes” field?). Or can we create an own field and put it in there?This way I can see the winget status directly in the device. What do you suggest how to realize this? Looking forward for your ideas.

We are trying to remove an old local account that is on most of our windows computers.  The code removed the account when I ran it locally but not when I run it through automox. # Delete a local account named "tommyboy" $AccountName = "tommyboy"# Check if the account existsif (Get-LocalUser -Name $AccountName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { # Forcefully delete the account Remove-LocalUser -Name $AccountName -Force Write-Host "The account '$AccountName' has been deleted successfully."} else { Write-Host "The account '$AccountName' does not exist."} 

I am new to automox and learning. I am currently just testing on a worklet that will change the background of windows os. My scipt will upload the file in the c drive but the background is not changing.

I am writing a PS worklet to prompt the user to close Outlook to allow the install of the Mimecast for Outlook plugin. I would like to not go down the road of creating a scheduled task to perform this action. I have tried a couple different options:Send-ActiveUserMessage -Title 'Close Outlook' -Message 'Outlook will close automatically in 1 minute for the Mimecast plugin Install. Please wait 5 mins before opening Outlook again. Thanks, IT.' DialogType 'OK' -Timeout 60&# Add required assembly for MessageBoxAdd-Type -AssemblyName "System.Windows.Forms"# Show MessageBox that Outlook is closing[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('Outlook will close automatically in 1 minute for the Mimecast plugin Install. Please wait 5 mins before opening Outlook again. Thanks, IT.','Close Outlook','OK','Warning') Neither seem to display an interactive message for the user but work in ISE. I read in a previous post here that this was

Good morning! I am attempting to use the worklet to set a login screen for Windows but was wondering if anyone had successfully changed the image source from a URL to an image uploaded into the worklet. If they have, could you please share the syntax used to replace this line? # define the path to download the background image$ImageURL = 'https://www.automox.com/static/images/default-og-image.png'

Hi everyone,Has anyone successfully installed OpenEdge using Automox?Given the payload limitations in Automox, it seems like this might be challenging—or possibly not feasible at all. However, I wanted to check if anyone has attempted this in their environment and managed to get it working.More details about the silent installation process for Progress OpenEdge can be found here:Progress Documentation – Silent Installation Thanks in advance!
