Delete file in privileged folder like system32

I’m trying to remediate https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2023-38175We use a 3rd party antivirus and not Microsoft Defender. Microsoft recommends deleting the file MpSigStub.exe. It’s located in C:\Windows\System32.  I tried to create the following but i think it’s not working because system32 needs elevated privileges. Any ideas? Evaluation Code: Exit 1 Remediation code: Remove-Item -path "C:\Windows\System32\MpSigStub.exe”

Microsoft Office 365 Release Channels

Hello,I noticed in our Automox environment that we have a lot of client devices reporting they still need to update Microsoft Office 365 to latest version. However, we use the Semi-Annual Enterprise release channel and Automox is showing the Office version for the Current Release channel. Is there a setting or configuration I can change to make the Automox agent use a different release channel?  Example of What Automox is Showing https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-microsoft365-apps-by-date

Win 11 iso

Hey all,I’m having 0 success updating to windows 11 using the windows installation assistant from automox and from running it directly on the laptops I’m testing with.I have had success downloading the iso, mounting it, and running the upgrade from there.Has anyone else tested the Windows 11 worklet? I’ve thought about trying to create a worklet that downloads and mounts the iso and runs through the setup so I can put automation and control/schedule around the updates.

TCP/IP DoS Vulnerability Mitigation Worklet (CVE-2023-38149)

September Patch Tuesday surfaced 61 vulnerabilities, but we built a Worklet to help you mitigate CVE-2023-38149, Windows TCP/IP Denial of Service Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows attackers to disrupt service over the network with a simple attack that does not require user authentication to exploit.  Automox CISO, Jason Kikta, recommends mitigating this with a dedicated Worklet before applying the patch. By using this script, you’ll increase preventative measures by disabling router discovery on all IPv6 interfaces and enhancing safety of your Microsoft corporation software version from multiple vulnerabilities.

32bit vs 64bit Plans?

Hi,I often find myself running into problems when writing worklets which don’t work as intended. Most of the time the root cause is because I’d failed to remember that the Automox Agent is a 32bit binary and calls 32bit PowerShell.Prefixing my Remediation Code with the following code blocks resolves the issue most of the time, but sometimes it does not, for example if I want to do something to a machine in both the 32 and 64bit registries in the same worklet.##############################################################################If Powershell is running the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, we #need to force powershell to run in 64-bit mode .#############################################################################if ($env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 -eq "AMD64") { write-warning "It seems we're running 32bit Powershell within a 64bit OS. Executing 64bit Powershell....." if ($myInvocation.Line) { &"$env:WINDIR\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NonI

Worklet - Check if .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 are enabled

I recently came across and issue in my organization that involved me enabling the .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 optional features for a user on Windows 10. The issue caused some of our in-house created software to crash and I was informed by my manager after resolving the issue that this user is not alone and he has had to help users with this same issue before.I tasked myself with creating a Worklet that would check if these optional features are enabled on a Windows 10 machine, and if they are not, enable them! With the help of Ask Otto, this task was a breeze and dramatically cut down the time it took to create both of the scripts.(Granted, a few tweaks did need to be made to the syntax of some commands but Ask Otto was able to make a pretty solid script with just a few detailed instructions).If you notice something that could be improved or that could be changed to improve either script please let me know, I’m fairly green when it comes to creating scripts and I’m open to suggestions

Worklet: macOS Deferred Reboot

The purpose of this worklet is to detect if a macOS device is pending a reboot and will notify the user to reboot. If the user does not reboot within your given timeframe, the script will force a reboot. If the macOS device is at the login window (no user logged in), the device will reboot immediately with no notification. Example Notification: The Reboot Now button does just that, it reboots immediately The Later button will close the notification and redisplay again based on what you have set (below) You can set the following options in the Remediation script below: title - The Title of the notification message - The message content (use %TIME% in your message to display the time left in minutes forceRebootIn - The amount of minutes until the macOS device is force rebooted notifyInterval - Show the above notification every X minutes until a reboot occurs notifyTimeout - How long the above notification shows on the screen before closing and assuming a deferral iconFile - Upload a .i

Worklet - Scan for and Install all Dell Firmware updates

Refining Worklet for Mapping Network Drives

Hello, I am trying to make a worklet to map certain network drives to users PCs. I tried the script that was posted about 3 years ago in “Worklet: Network Drive Mount Windows” and it runs but in File Explorer gives the error “Disconnected Network Drive”. Does anyone have an updated script or know how to tweak the previous script to fix this issue? Thanks!

Create a worklet that installs two programs and pushes a xml profile

Hello,I’m looking for guidance to create a worklet that will install Cisco secure client core VPN and Cisco Umbrella  as well as pushing an xml profile to the end point destination “C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile”. The goal is to push this software while the end point is not connected to the company network, but rather through the Automox agent. Is this feasible to do? if so, how do I accomplish this? Programs:Windows Installer Package (.msi)cisco-secure-client-win-5.0.03076-core-vpn-predeploy-k9cisco-secure-client-win-5.0.03076-umbrella-predeploy-k9 Endpoints are Windows 10/11

I would also like it to also run disk cleanup every night.

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

Managing Mapped Drives

Considering the shift to remote work, managing mapped drives through group policy isn’t as effective as it would be with the majority of users being on premises. I would like to use shift to using Automox worklets to manage mapped network drives, but when I test using PowerShell commands like “New-PSDrive” it runs as the administrator and the drives don’t appear for the end user. My current solution is to drop a .cmd file into the startup folder, but this is inelegant. Is there a better way to do this?
