As the title says, I’m trying to do some troubleshooting through SentinelOne remote shell for some Automox agents that stopped reporting to the console of Automox but are still active on SentinelOne.  I’m able to open a remote shell to the endpoints in question through SentinelOne but I’ve had no luck trying to:deregister the agent set a new key restarting the agent So I’ve come here to ask for help:how would you try and either completely uninstall Automox and then reinstallingorderegistering and setting.a new key to hopefully restore the connectivity of the agentusing a SentinelOne remote shell Thank you everyone!

.net core worklet

Has or does anyone have a worklet to update .net core versions? I don’t really want to reinvent the wheel here if I don’t have too. Thought I would ask here before I took a deep dive into it myself.

Does *Install Optional and Recommended Windows Updates* include Windows 11

If I turn on “Install Optional and Recommended Windows Updates” in policies, will workstations automatically install Windows 11 or does that still have to be clicked manually by the user?I’d like Automox to push all the available Windows 10 updates but we aren’t ready for 11 yet. I’m uncertain if windows update would push 11 along with those so I’m just being cautious.

2nd Wednesday of the month can be before Patch Tuesday...

I have a policy that patches windows and it runs for several groups.Initially, it will run for the test group on 2nd Tuesday at 2300. Then another policy will run again for Group 1 on the 2nd Wednesday. (This gives us time to test patches and exclude any that prove problematic)However, sometimes the 2nd Wednesday will come before the 2nd Tuesday of the month.So, how do I sent the policy to run as 2nd Tuesday + 1 so that the policy does not run ahead of patch Tuesday?

Disabling Driver Updates for Windows 10

Wondering how others are handling driver updates that are being published by Microsoft but not pushed through Automox.We are not using an on-prem WSUS server, we are going direct to MS for updates, but Automox is managing the process.We recently discovered that we are getting Driver updates directly from MS still, and it is causing some issues in our userbase.Thanks.

Patch Everything "Office" not fully updating Office

I have built a patch only policy to patch everything Office. I am targeting a specific machine with Office 2013 installed.The policy runs successfully but for some reason, Office does not get updated to the latest version which is currently 15.0.5501.1000. When I check Word and Excel they are both saying versions 15.0.5449.100 and 15.0.5485.100 respectively. My understanding is that Automox should be updating these to the latest version which was released earlier this month.Does anyone know why Word and Excel would not be updating to 15.0.5501.1000? (There is no information in the logs) The KB article on the Microsoft website is KB5002082 and if I add this to the filter and “preview packages that will be installed” nothing is returned, so I guess that answers that question but then why is Automox not providing the most recent updates for MS Office 2013 which is still in support?

Ran policy not showing in Activity Log

I have manually ran a policy with targeted device. I get the green notifier to say “Success” in the bottom left hand corner.When I check the activity log, there is nothing listed for the policy to confirm it has ran.The machine I am running the policy for is in a group and this group is assigned to the policy.If I click “Preview Impacted Devices” the device is listed.Does anyone know if a policy can be ran more than once against a machine within a certain period? All the policy is doing is patching MS Office and it has ran successfully in the past. The machine I am running it on has an out of date version of Office so I would expect to at least see some form of activity in the log.Thanks

Automox API and Freshservice integration

 Hi Eveyone, I’m researching whether what I’m trying to do is feasible or not. I’m trying to trigger a webhook on freshservice workflows The idea is to trigger a prepatch email when a patching ticket is placed and another one after the ticket has been completed.  Question is. Is there a way to trigger a prepatch report and send it through mail by using the automox API ? so far I couldn’t find a way to do it.   Thanks for any helpDiego

Run Dell Command (Driver updates) - Windows

This worklet will run Dell Command on a users machine to update to latest drivers, it also does firmware updates if found. This is possibly a two part worklet, depending on the version of Dell Command installed. If you have the normal executable application version you can run the Run Update script below. However if running the UWP version for Win10, you need to uninstall that and install the non UWP version using the uninstall/reinstall script below (Make sure to include all needed files like the DCU executable, MUP and Package files. Those are currently available at: https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-us/sln311129/dell-command-update?lang=en Dell Command Uninstall/Reinstall: $dellc = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "Dell Command" } $dellc.Uninstall() Start-Process -FilePath "DCU_Setup_3_1_3.exe" -ArgumentList "/S /v/qn" The run update command itself is: Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" -ArgumentLi

Can data be passed into a Worklet?

I’m trying to standardize hostnames on all of our PCs. We aren’t using AD, just local users. We have a standard for our hostnames to be “company-lastname-pc”… from what I understand WIN local users don’t have the concept of a last name. I’m wondering if there is anyway to pass in some sort of meta data from automox to the worklet so I can automate this. I would obviously need to tag the user in automox with their last name somehow… just wondering if this is doable.

How to notify users patching is complete?

Hello everyone, One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get from users is that they don’t know when it is safe to press the Install Now button on the patching notification. The primary reason is due to silent installs, they have no idea when it is safe to “get back to work.”The Automox UI clearly has this status in the device details screen, as it displays installing, and once the installation is complete, the device returns to ready status.  I searched the API, but I can’t find any method of accessing this status such that I can display a complete message to users.

Getting output into the Activity log

Hello!I have a very simple issue.I want to run this command in a worklet policy…manage-bde -StatusI then want the output of this to show in the activity log.  As far as I can tell, this isn’t possible, as I’ve tried a whole host of ways to get it working but always end up with a blank log (unless I do something useless like “write-host hello”). I’d be really happy for someone to prove me wrong.Cheers,Mark.

How to white label with our own brand?

We tap into Automox’s APIs to integrate patch management into our platform. I am wondering how we could do 2 things:Hide the “Automox Notifier” from apps (instead, we would push out notifications through our own app) White label all mentions of “Automox” that users see in the onboarding process, with our own brand name “1Fort”

Set Windows 10 Screensaver

Set your screensaver, the timeout, and whether prompted for a login upon resume. This code is easy to select any of the built-in savers located in C:\Windows\System32, but you could enhance it to attach your own screensaver, copy it to System32, and set it as the one to use.
