IBM i Access ACS software inquiry

Does Automox have a way to query the registry and find out version number and if a particular software is installed on a bunch of machines?  The problem is the program that i am trying to search to see if many PCs have does not have a program files entry.We have close to 2700+ end points in Automox and need to know if we can get a CSV report of a particular software installed on many machines.  Any help would be appreciated.

I need to copy Ookla Speedtest.exe CLI to System32 for multiple systems for ease of use.

I need to copy Ookla Speedtest.exe CLI to System32 for multiple systems, I setup the below Worklet script but it doesnt seem to work. Am I missing something to do with permissions when copying over files to the system32 folder which always requires Admin priveleges as we all know. Not sure how to get around this if it is the case. I have the speedtest.exe also uploaded to the Policy too. Any ideas will be much appreciated. Copy-Item speedtest.exe -Destination "c:\windows\system32\"

Last reboot time - Feature Request

Hi,I hope it’s ok to ask here for a feature request (or can it be that it exists and I didn’t find it yet?)I have currently a laptop (macos) which the AutoMox shows that it needs a reboot, the user claimed he did one, and I did check that he did through another system, but AutoMox doesn’t show in it when was the last reboot, It could be a good addon to see it. in the current situation I believe for some reason AutoMox didn’t refresh yet though I did initiate a scan, saw it happening few times with few laptops already but eventually it works ok.

Patch Except Policy is not forcing reboot after deferrals

We have our Patch Policy applied for the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Yesterday we all received the notification that we would need to either restart our computer or defer. Many deferred 8 hours and when 8 hours came up several of us deferred 4 hours and left our computers on. There is no indication that the 3rd deferment when through and of the 31 computers in the group, only two had the patch actually apply. One was successful, the second one failed due to an itunes update failure. I would like to know why the policy didn’t apply to the other 29 computers and why the computers didn’t restart after deferrment?

For Linux, how can I execute multiple worklets on the same server at the same time

Trying to execute multiple worklets at the same time from the same server.   The worklets run against different groups and ssh to the servers to run commands. Is there an option to allow that. When I try, it only runs one at a time.

How to update all my devices with only one specific software?

I’m trying to figure out how to update all of my devices with only one specific software. I already have my standard policies in effect but I need to make sure every device is updated to feature update for Windows 10, version 21H2 (KB5010415).  How can I push this patch out to all the devices instead of having every single patch/software pushed? Is it even possible?

Geting Worklets to run with elevated privilages on endpoints

Doing some remediation with a worklets they run a system account so its only grabbing half the information that it needs.  My guess is that this is because the local system account doesn’t have complete access to everything.   Anyone come up with a way to get a worklet to run as another account.

Latest version of client, but disconnected in console

It would seem 75% of my machines picked up the latest update in November, but then stopped communicating with the server.  Pushing a reinstall doesn’t work since the latest is already installed and most uninstalls are failing as well.  Thoughts?

QUESTION: How do you find out about the most relevant security news?

Politely, though!Hi, y’all - Chad here. We thought we’d take a minute today to throw out a question. Every week, we post our Security News Wrap-Up from sources we know and trust, but there’s a lot going on in the CyberWorld and we no doubt could miss stories here and there. While we rely on a few tried and true various publications, the more sources we can well, source, the better! Let us know - unless the “source” you trust is just your friend Shawn down in Florida who “works on computers” - let’s keep this sophisticated. So we’d like to ask: where do you get your security news?
