Hey all,
Brand new to the Automox Community here, really loving the software so far. However, I’m running into a weird issue. So, we’ve gotta update cURL, and I’m running into a pair of issues.
To start, within Automox, I cannot see it as a listed package. I know it’s installed, and can see it in my Tenable dashboard. This leaves the bulk actions/software patching option out.
So, in lieu of this, I’ve tried to make a worklet to meet the requirements. I’ve found some powershell online that seems to fit what I’d need it to do, but when I run it on my test machine, I get the attached logs, and the issue persists. Could anyone offer some advice?
