Windows 11 Deployment Help!

So were having issues deploying Windows 11 in Automox!When you run the “Upgrade to Windows 11” patch in the console it never runs or reports an output either so we have a ticket open with Automox for that but in the mean time I am trying to find some sort of worklet to use but there just isn't anything viable. does anyone have any suggestions? I have come across a bunch of scripts online too but there is nothing solid even using the installation assistant.

Pasing custom value though API endpoint

Hi Everyone, I’m wondering if there is a way to pass a custom attribute/value to an API endpoint (whether through the request URI or body). Specifically, I need to pass a value to a worklet/policy endpoint and be able to use that value on the worklet powershell code. Is that even possible? Thanks for any helpDiego

Wiping Remote Machines

Hi Everyone, A large request from my team was the ability to remote wipe machines. As we all know our remote work force is getting larger and sometimes it is hard to get an asset back. Below is a Worklet I created that will wipe a machine with no user interaction. Be CAREFUL and do not run this on your machine. Once it starts it will take a few seconds to run. I recommend creating a group called YourCompanyName - Tech Worklets or Remote Wipe. Then assign machines to the policy that you want to remotely wipe. I would then recommend removing them after a few minutes. $namespaceName = “root\cimv2\mdm\dmmap” $className = “MDM_RemoteWipe” $methodName = “doWipeMethod” $session = New-CimSession $params = New-Object Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimMethodParametersCollection $param = [Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimMethodParameter]::Create(“param”, “”, “String”, “In”) $params.Add($param) $instance = Get-CimInstance -Namespace $namespaceName -ClassName $className -Filter “P

Force BitLocker Recovery on start up

As part of adding security and protect the data on a laptop for a remote exit employee, we would like to force the device to boot with the bitlocker recovery key. The below powershell script works when run locally on the laptop through PowerShell IDE and run as Admin: $hostname = hostnamemanage-bde -forcerecovery C: -computername $hostname The issue is when we try to push the same code with Automox, it bypasses the recovery key and TPM pin and boots to the login screen instead of asking for the bitlocker recovery keyBelow is the code on Automox: Evaluation Code:Exit 1************************Remediation Code:$hostname = hostnamemanage-bde -forcerecovery C: -computername $hostnameExit 0************************I think that it’s an issue with elevating user privillages since the local code is run on PowerShell as Admin and Automox is running the code with the current users rights which are Normal User, but again, I could be wrong. Your help is appreciated.

Force TPM Reset and ask user for BitLocker Recovery Key

USE CAUTION WHEN RUNNING THE BELOW WORKLET! USE GROUPS & TAGS TO TRIGGER THE WORKLET. Please feel free to use the below worklet as needed. The below will reset the devices’ TPM and will force the user to enter the BitLocker Recovery Key after a programmatic forced restart.I found this extremly usefull to “disable” a Windows device, that supports BitLocker, if not returned after they leave the company by removing device access at startup. This will reduce the risk of data leaks. Obviously, needless to say that if the user has the recovery key, the worklet is pointless. Evaluation Code:Exit 1 Remediation Code:$scriptBlock = {$hostname = hostnamemanage-bde -forcerecovery C: -computername $hostname}& "$env:SystemRoot\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -NoProfile -NonInteractive -Command $scriptBlockecho " "echo "Internal IT - Forced TPM reset"Restart-Computer -ForceExit 0 SCHEDULE:If a device misses a configured patch time,

Some Basic MSI questions

Hi all, I’m fairly new to Automox, and also not a powershell wiz, but I’ve spent some time searching the existing community threads and haven’t seen quite what I’m looking for.  Basically, we’ve got some existing software, deployed through an MSI, and i’m looking for ways to use Automox to deploy 1) upgrades and 2) repairs. To upgrade the software, we need to stop it from running.  I have a one-line command from the software company that stops all their services, then I can run the MSI to install the latest version.  If I do this as a Required Software policy, can I add a command before running the installer?  Or do i need to do this through a worklet (the scripts in the worklet catalog to install an MSI seem quite involved)?   similar question:  I want to run a REPAIR on an existing installed application.  When I tried using a Required Software policy but changed the /i arg to /fp, the script didn’t run because it detected that the application was already on the current version so no

Copy a File to a Folder in a User's Profile

I generated this worklet for a customer that wanted to take a text file called “signin.slacktoken” with a Slack token in it and have it copied to users’ Download directory. For your purposes, upload the file you want to be copied and set the $uploadfile variable in the evaluation and remediation to be exactly equal to the name of the uploaded file. Then just set the location you want the file in evaluation and remediation. Evaluation: # Set variable to the exact name of the installation file uploaded $uploadfile = 'signin.slacktoken' # Sets current user $currentusr = (Get-WmiObject -class win32_process -ComputerName 'localhost' | Where-Object name -Match explorer).getowner().user # Check to see if the file exists in the user's profile location where it should be saved. If so, exit with no action. if (Test-Path -Path "c:\Users\$currentusr\Downloads\$uploadfile") { exit 0 } else { Exit 1 } Remediation: # Sets current user $currentusr = (Get-WmiObject -class win32_process -Computer

Tag based on Device Info?

i’m just getting my feet wet with Automox, and i see a lot of recent enhancements have been made with regard to Tagging, but i’m wondering if there’s a way to auto-assign tags in bulk based on device info?  My use case would be to automatically tag devices based on their AD OU.  If i’ve got a device in the “San Francisco Office” OU in AD, that shows in the Device Info in Automox, so is there some script or worklet i could use to automatically tag all devices reflecting that device info?  thanks!

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
