Worklet for making HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry changes

I see there's a worklet in the catalog for making changes to HKEY_USERS. Safe to assume this can be modified to make changes to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ?

issue with powershell worklet claiming bracket is missing

Hi, I am trying to make a worklet out of a powershell script I have to remove any unapproved Outlook plugins. I have this working fine from the command line, and I ran it through PSScriptAnalyzer too and everything seems to be working fine. $scriptBlock = { $permittedAddIns = "Redemption.Addin","WorkSiteEmailManagement.Connect","imFileSite.Connect" # Registry paths to search $registryPaths = "Registry::HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-*\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins", "Registry::HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-*\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins", "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins" # Build up a list of add-ins by searching the specified paths $addIns += ($registryPaths | ForEach-Object {Get-Item $_ | Get-ChildItem | Where-Object –Filter {($_.GetValue("LoadBehavior") -and $_.GetValue("LoadBehavior") -ne 0)}}) write-Output $addins # Narrow down our list of add-ins to only those that don't match our permit

Install MSI using administrator privileges

Hey AM TeamWe had an MSI browser extension to install via Automox but it fails due to UAC. When we created a required software policy to install the MSI file, it just fails and would not install. Trying to install locally, we found that it requires UAC and local admin privileges. Is there a way around this using Automox? From my understanding, Automox should be installing apps as local admin?

Worklet to pull device patching logs stopped working with error

Hello!I have a worklet that has been running weekly for months with no issue, the worklet essentially grabs patching logs from each device in Automox and exports them all to a CSV. I noticed on around January 18th of 2022 that the script started reporting nothing so I ran the code locally and am getting an error: Invoke-RestMethod : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.At line:11 char:13+ $response = Invoke-RestMethod $apiUrl -Method 'GET' -Headers $headers ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebExc eption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommandI know Automox has the limitation of no more than 500 results when pulling from the API, but I am well under half that.

Worklet - Reset Windows Update - Now with intensity

This worklet is going to reset the components of Windows Update. Windows Update can sometimes pull down a patch that is corrupted and needs to be cleared out. Digging manually through all of the patches can be tedious and depending on the age of the machine very time intensive. Instead this worklet will rename your old patch folders to .bak and allow Windows to generate a new one within a couple minutes. This is designed to be run manually so do not schedule this to be run on a regular basis. It should only be run against a machine that is repeatedly failing to install updates. Eval { Exit 0 } Else { Exit 1 } Rem $services = 'BITS','wuauserv','appidsvc','cryptsvc' #Stop BITS, WUAUSERV, APPIDSVC AND CRYPTSVC Services Stop-Service -Name bits Stop-Service -Name wuauserv Stop-Service -Name appidsvc Stop-Service -Name cryptsvc Foreach ($service in $services) { #check the status of the service to make sure it's stopped $service_status = (Get-Service -name $service).Status #if

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\"

New Worklets of the Week (3/30/22)

Happy Wednesday!🌻 We know what Wednesday means around here, time to talk Worklets! One new Worklet has been added to the Catalog this week, and it’s all about user notifications. ⏰This notification Worklet will use the built-in macOS tools, but place the dialog box front and center, instead of the default placement in the upper corner. We all get notification fatigue, so changing up the presentation of your notifications is a great way to ensure the message is received. Our Factory team even built in some extra options to further customize the notification by adding additional button selections that direct the user to a certain webpage, or setting timeouts, or categorizing notifications. When do you use custom notifications? Comment below to tell us! 💬 See ya next week!Jessica Starkey | Technical Marketing Engineer

Prevent Windows 11 Upgrade

One of our users upgraded their own device to Windows 11 recently when it became available to them. This obviously isn’t a desirable situation for our enterprise if we’re trying to prevent any kind of incompatibility with our systems so I found this topic on the MS community. Based on that topic I created the following Worklet. The goal is to prevent any other users from seeing the Windows 11 upgrade notification or performing the upgrade. Evaluation<#.SYNOPSIS This Test script checks to see if the listed registry values are present.DESCRIPTION This script queries the registry for the required values to prevent Windows 11 from installing..Notes File Name :Prevent_w11_Eval.ps1 Original Author :TJ Coppola Prerequisite :PowerShell V2 over win7 and upper#>#define variables$path = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate"$wu = Get-ItemProperty -Path $path#check keysif($wu.ProductVersion -match "Windows 10" -and $wu.TargetReleaseVersion -eq 1
