Is there a way to duplicate worklet from zone to another zone ?

Hello,I have deployed and create some (personal) worklets on one zone, and I am searching a way to easily duplicate them to anoter zone we have on our account.I see it’s possible for policy, but I don’t find the same “clone” function for worklet. Maybe there is another way to allow worklets to be applied on several zones ? Thanks in advance

Set Dell Command Update to download, install and verify in update settings

I have been working on a script that will set DCU to download, install and verify no matter what the current setting is. In the update settings, a few behaviors are observed:Notify: Deletes AutomationMode if present Download updates: Creates AutomationMode with a value of ScanDownloadNotify Download and install updates: Creates AutomationMode with a value of ScanDownloadApplyNotifyLocation of the key:HKLM:\SOFTWARE\DELL\UpdateService\Clients\CommandUpdate\Preferences\Settings\Schedule\AutomationModeThe remediation code works perfect in Visual Studio Code. However, the evaluation code will only show the write-output and not push to the remediation code. Could someone shine some light on this? Evaluation Code$regPath = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\DELL\UpdateService\Clients\CommandUpdate\Preferences\Settings\Schedule'$automationMode = $nullTry { $automationMode = Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path $regPath -Name "AutomationMode"} Catch { Write-Output "Error retrieving AutomationMode property: $_"}F

Basic Dell Command Update Worklet

Automox newbie here and I’m trying to create a very basic worklet that would check if a computer is a Dell and if so, run Dell Command Update. I’ve cut and pasted commands from examples posted here, but it’s not working. Below is what I’ve created. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thank you!

Dell Command Update Worklet needed

All Windows 10 WorkstationsI tried 1 of the Dell Command Update Worklets and get this error on some workstations:Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.At C:\Program Files (x86)\Automox\execDir2926109883\execcmd3901365964.ps1:59 char:16+ ... [void](Start-Process -FilePath $exe -ArgumentList "/s /l='$log'" ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand COMMAND TIMED OUT. I’m looking to either find out why this error is happening or get a worklet with evaluation and remediation code that can be used to successfully check which patches are needed and then install them and let me know which ones get installed. thanks.

Error execution of scheduled policies.

Hello, I am facing error in policy scheduling. When we create the worklets, we leave the execution scheduled, but the execution does not occur. If we perform the execution manually, the policy applies normally, but the scheduling does not occur.In this case, we have two situations.Situation 1:We created 3 months ago 5 policies to remove specific browsers from linux machines. The policies work perfectly if executed manually, but if we schedule, only 1 of them is executing correctly. All are add in the same group and running at alternate times.Situation 2:We create a policy to add a mandatory software and if we run it manually, it works correctly, but we schedule the execution and the policy does not run. We have already changed it from one group to another, from one machine to another, from one to another Are we doing something wrong? Has anyone experienced this?

Workstation Lacerte updates

We are a tax firm that uses Lacerte Tax software. During tax season, there can be 2 or 3 updates in a week. Doing updates across 5 workstations is tedious and can only be done in off hours for the user.The software is on-prem server install. When an update is pushed to the server, the workstations will not allow login to Lacerte until the update is completed.I need a way to automate this. I have played with the MSI update worklet to re-run the install each time, but that does not work. Has anyone else done something similar?

Windows Autopilot Enrollment

Hi All, I was wondering if anybody tried to leverage Automox for pulling hardware hash for windows Autopilot in their company environment. i want to enroll multiple devices to autopilot but still little confused with pulling hardware hash for all devices and manually upload it to Intune which sucks. Thanks in advance.

HelloDoes anyone know if it is possible to upload a file .zip as a payload and download it via worklet?I need to create an installation worklet, but instead of uploading an executable file, I need to put a .zip file, download it to the machine, unzip this file and then run the .exe that is inside this uncompressed folder.

Deploy CrowdStrike on Windows

This is to deploy the CrowdStrike Windows agent in your environment. You’ll need the CrowdStrike installer, WindowsSensor.exe, which you can download from your CrowdStrike console. You’ll also need your Customer ID from the console. Remediation code: .\WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet /norestart CID=<checksummed customer ID> Upload the WindowsSensor.exe file to the worklet, and put your CID in the CID flag section. If you have any issues getting the installer to work, you can add the flag ProvNoWait=1 which skips the requirement for the agent to make contact with the CrowdStrike console within 10 minutes, after which time the agent removes itself if it fails to make contact. Note that installing CrowdStrike over the top of another AV requires some extra steps as detailed in this article: crowdstrike.com – 22 Aug 19 How to Replace Symantec with CrowdStrike Learn how how quick and easy it is to replace Symantec with CrowdStrike to get better prote

🏆 Challenge: Modify a Policy to Meet Notification Requirements

Hi Community, AXU has a challenge for you to solve! 🔍Read the use case below and share your solution in the comments.Scenario: You have the "Patch recently released macOS updates" policy scheduled which means you no longer have to tackle this task manually. When the policy runs, end-users receive notifications, but you have two important concerns:1. You want to give your end-users the option to defer the update for a maximum of three days.2. You need to ensure users restart their devices after patching completes. If they don't, you'd like to enforce a restart.The Question: How would you modify this policy to meet both of these priorities?Need guidance to complete this challenge? Visit these resources:Managing End-User Notifications Advanced Policy Management Course We’re excited to read your responses!

Duplicate Hosts

I recently noticed that I had over 200 + devices in my default group and now there are duplicate devices in all my groups. Has anyone else experienced this behavior in the past hour?
