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!

Add Network Printer Worklet

Has anyone ran this worklet successfully? I am trying to run it but i am getting a 0x1 error in Task Scheduler which refers to permission errors. Is that correct? The driver is already installed so it should just need to map the printer to the logged on user’s profile.  Am i missing something?

Has anyone had any success with the Windows - Configuration - Windows 11 Feature Update worklet?

I have ran this worklet on 3 or 4 machines now and I can see the processes running in Task Manager, but the machine never reboots and never updates to 11.I saw a thread on checking for registry entries and removing them but they aren’t present. Just curious if anyone has had success with this.

Windows - Maintenance - Maintenance Window Reboots

Can someone explain when Automox decides to run the remediation code of a worklet? I am using the worklet “Windows - Maintenance - Maintenance Window Reboots” from the worklet catalog and have the restart days as Saturday and a maintenance window of 4:00AM - 4:30AM”. After applying this worklet to a group I scan the device and it shows as “Compliant”. When the worklet scheduled time comes around there is no activity when it should in fact have rebooted the devices because they are all pending updates.  Do I need to change the restart days to every day so Automox thinks it needs to be rebooted and set the worklet schedule to the day it needs to be remediated?

Windows - Scheduled Reboot to apply updates

Hello folks, I am looking for a worklet that will reboot servers if a reboot is required. I’m using one from the Worklet catalog at the moment, but it doesn’t give any details after it has ran, and 90% of the time it gives a “COMMAND TIMEOUT” error.  Could anyone provide some insight on what they do, or if they know what may be wrong with the worklet that is causing it to timeout? This is what i’m currently using: evaluation script: Evaluation script:# Checks whether or not the system requires a reboot, and remediates accordingly.$sysInfo = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.SystemInfo"if($sysInfo.RebootRequired){     exit 1}else{    exit 0}  Remediation: ####### EDIT WITHIN THIS BLOCK ############################################## These parameters control the time of day window within which automatic reboot will be initiated (ie. 11am, 2:30pm)[string]$rebootStartTime = "11pm"[string]$rebootEndTime = "11:15pm"# If there is no user input detected for $minIdleTime minutes within $re

Worklet: Enable Automatic Updates for Pre-downloading Patches

In an effort to reduce our required outage time for patching, I’ve created a worklet that sets a few registry keys on Windows systems to enable Windows Update to download (but not install) any newly relevant patches. This should significantly improve our ability to execute patching windows quickly, especially for systems at remote locations or with restricted bandwidth. Note: only the ‘NoAutoUpdate’ and ‘AUOptions’ keys are actually required to enable this behavior. There are two other keys we have included to better manage this process for our needs. (Special shoutout to @Josh-W for some assistance/finishing touches!) Evaluation Code: # Check registry key/value to enable Automatic Downloading of all relevant patches - DOES NOT INSTALL ############################################# $regPathAU = 'HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU' $regPathWindowsUpdate = 'HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate' $regPropertyAUOptions = 'AUOptions' $desiredValueAU

Secure Token Access enabled - still incompatible in console

I noticed that this question was brought up in another thread, but was not addressed.I have a computer that verifies that secure token access is enabled, but in the console it still shows as “not-compatible”, citing missing secure token access. I also try using the Automox provided worklet to update the access, and it indicates that the token access is already enabled. I have removed and readded the agent with the same issue. Has anyone been able to resolve this?OS: OS X (13.4.1 (c))CPU: Apple M1 ProRAM 32 GBAgent 1.42.22Thank you

Having Issues with Windows - Maintenance Tasks - Remove Old User Profiles Worklet

Hello, I am having issues with the worklet mentioned in the title. I have a PC from our environment that I am testing with this worklet. I have changed nothing on the worklet except change the cutoff day to 60 days. I can see under This PC > Windows > Users that there are profiles that show under the “Date Modified” column as not having any changes since April. However, the worklet is not removing those. It runs the first check and says there are no old profiles. I’ll admit I’m still learning Powershell, so maybe I have something confused, but if someone could point me in the right direction of what I need to modify I would appreciate it. Let me know if you’d like more info. TIA!

Worklet: Predictable Reboot Notifications for Windows

Hey Y’all! Automox offers a fully customizable end-user notification feature that clearly indicates to users when Automox will be patching and potentially rebooting their systems. This feature also allows you to set custom deferral options empowering users to control when their device should be patched. This gives peace of mind to system admins that their environment will be patched without interfering with their users everyday use. Although this is a great feature, Automox recognizes that it does not offer the predictability to users to when the actual reboot event will take place. We are currently working on improving our current notifications to give users better reboot predictability. Automox has gathered a lot of customer feedback aimed to make this feature enhancement as effective as possible. The great thing about this is it will be built into the product and be offered in the same fashion as the current end-user notifications. So, what can you do until this feature is released?

Limitations in worklets // scope worklets run in?

There are certain limitations I’ve come across with PS scripts in worklets and I’m curious A) if they’re possible, or B) how exactly worklets invoke the scripts on remote endpoints.  I’ve tried finding information on how exactly worklets run scripts on remote endpoints but it’s pretty obfuscated. Examples:If I try calling a static .NET method for a Windows form element, like a notification popup, nothing will display on the remote endpoint.  Example below:[System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show( "Title", "Message", [System.Windows.MessageBoxButton]::OK, [System.Windows.MessageBoxImage]::Information)Or if I try invoking rest method to send a message to Teams using a public incoming webhook, it will not post.  Example below:Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $webhookUri -Method POST -Body $json -ContentType "application/json"How exactly do worklets run these scripts on remote endpoints, and are there ways to get examples such as these to work?

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

Worklet to End task

Has anyone created a worklet to end a task or close an application? In the Automox University specifically the Third Party Patch Policy training, they talk about applications that need to be close in order to update. Has anyone been successful in creating a worklet that accomplishes this?
