Set preferred Windows 10 version

In our environment, Windows 10 feature updates weren’t appearing in the list of available patches. Here’s a solution that doesn’t require downloading an ISO file. There is a registry setting to target a specific feature update. Once we set that registry setting, the feature update became available as a regular patch and we could manage it easily with Automox. This script checks if the machine is running Windows 10, and if so it sets the TargetReleaseVersion and TargetReleaseVersionInfo registry values to match the update you specify. To modify the script for your preferred Windows 10 version, just edit the $targetFeatureUpdateVersion variable in the evaluation and remediation scripts. Use the version numbers as listed on the Windows 10 release information page. Evaluation: <# .SYNOPSIS Checks if the registry is set to upgrade Windows 10 to a specific version. .DESCRIPTION Checks if the computer is running Windows 10 and if the TargetReleaseVersion and TargetReleaseVersionInfo

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.

New Worklets of the Week (3/16/22)

Hey Everyone! Happy Worklet Wednesday  We’ve got two more Worklets that were added to the console catalog this week. Is it just me or is our Factory team churning these out like crazy? Woohoo! New Worklets in the Catalog These two Worklets go hand in hand. On Windows, these will check if Google Chrome and Google Drive are installed, respectively. If not, remediation will run to install them. Both check for 32-bit and 64-bit installations. These are easily-deployable and can help ensure preferred software is being utilized on all your endpoints.  Will you be using these? Let us know! Jessica Starkey | Technical Marketing Engineer

Disconnect Specified Mapped Drives for All Users On All Systems

This worklet will disconnect all mapped drives specified by $removeDrives in the evaluation and remediation. Be sure to set $removeDrives identically in both. The drives will not appear disconnected until after a reboot. Details of the user and drives disconnected will appear in the activity log. Evaluation: <# .SYNOPSIS Delete Specified Mapped Drives for All Users on a System OS Support: Windows 7 and above Powershell: 2.0 and above Run Type: Evaluation .DESCRIPTION This worklet is designed to search for any mapped drives specified with $remoteDrives, and disconnect them. If any setting is found to be non-compliant, the evaluation script will close with an exit code of '1' to trigger remediation. $removeDrives needs to be set the same for evaluation and remediation to work correctly. If drives are found and disconnected, the drives will not appear disconnected until after a reboot. To use this worklet, add the desired parameters to the $removeDrives

New Worklets of the Week (3/9/22)

Happy Worklet Wednesday! We’ve got a couple updates in the Worklet Catalog to highlight this week, let’s get into it.First, there’s been an update to the worklet to upgrade macOS to include Monterey. This one is incredibly valuable, so we recommend that you get a policy setup with it as soon as possible. A new worklet has been published that allows you to enforce the presence of a repository on your endpoints. The comments in the code specify what variables should be updated for your specific use case. All that’s needed is to edit the repo variable as well as the apt or yum variable and you’ll be on your way! Happy Worklet-ing!Jessica Starkey | Technical Marketing Engineer

Announcing the 2nd Annual March Worklet Tournament!Contest

Okay, that’s too many worklets...Hi, everybody! I’m pleased to announce the start of our 2nd annual March Worklets Tournament!! Last year saw none other than @Mrichards take home the trophy for his (“award-winning”??) Windows Health Check worklet. Will Matt be willing and able to defend the crown? There’s only one way to find out…  So to copypasta our own @Brittany-Automox from last year’s tourney post, like last year “we are picking 16 of the hottest user-generated Worklets in the Automox Community to participate in a single-elimination showdown. Twice a week in March, we’ll be pitting two Worklets against each other and relying on you to vote on your favorite! From there, each winner will battle each other until one Worklet remains.” There will be some special prizes for our winner again, and you should all feel free to submit more worklets before the tournament begins on Monday! It’s your civic duty!

New Worklets of the Week (2/23/22)

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Before we get to the worklets, did you guys know yesterday was Twosday (as in 2/22/22 on a Tuesday)? I don’t know about you, but I was pretty excited about that. I was hoping that today we’d have 2 worklets to review to continue the trend, but I’ll do you one better , we’ve got three worklets to talk about on this day-after-Twosday (does that make today Threesday?). Okay, I’ll stop with the bad jokes… We’ve got three new/updated scripts to walk through today - let’s get started! The macOS Cacher worklet has been updated and verified to be OS agnostic, so it will work on Monterey 12.2.1. This worklet caches the Apple software installer from their update servers into the devices Applications folder.There’s a new worklet available to install or uninstall Java on Windows 8 and above. There is great documentation in the worklet itself, so I won’t belabor it here, but you can uncomment/comment the appropriate sections of code based on whether you need to install o

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.

New Worklets of the Week (2/9/22)

Hey y’all! Happy Wednesday!  Let’s take a look through some new worklets that have been added to the Worklet Catalog in the console. We’ve got two to look through, so let’s get started!  The first new worklet was written in response to the Linux Pwnkit vulnerability. This worklet simply changes the permissions for pkexec to prevent escalated permissions. For more details on the vulnerability, check out our blog here! The second worklet will help create shortcuts on the desktop or start menu for your endpoints. This is great if you have a uniform setup for your teams and want to configure that automatically. You can create custom images and links and place them in various locations on the endpoint. Which worklets do you use from the Catalog? Comment below and let us know! ‘Til next time,Jessica Starkey | Technical Marketing Engineer

Worklet - Crowdstrike Containment, Disable Cache Logon, Clear Kerberose, Logon Banners

This worklet Accomplishes a few tasksONE > Network contain device using CrowdStrike API TWO > Disable Cached Credential Logon and logoff current user THREE> Clear all Kerberos tickets FOUR > Set Logon Banners The biggest challenge with this Worklet is that once the host is network contained, there will be NO response for Automox to receive in the Activity Log because the system will at this point ONLY communicate with CrowdStrike. Highly recommend validating in CrowdStrike post this worklet. STEP ONE > Network contain device using CrowdStrike API1. Log into https://falcon.crowdstrike.com/support/api-clients-and-keys and generate a Client ID and Token scoped with both read and write for Hosts2.

Tanium Client Install worklet issue - RHEL and CentOS

Hi All, I’ll start this with I’m a novice at writing these scripts, so it could be something obvious. I’ve got a bash script worklet mostly working to install the Tanium client to RHEL/CentOS servers, but am running into an issue when it needs to copy a file to a directory created after the install. It seemly does everything else properly when I run it, except copy the tanium-init.dat file. I confirmed it properly extracts it to /tmp from the tarball payload as well. I thought adding the pause may help in case it was trying to copy it before the directory was created, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. #!/bin/bash # Copies the tarball to /tmp scp TaniumClient-7.4.5.1225.tar.gz /tmp # Extracts the tarball to /tmp tar xvzf /tmp/TaniumClient-7.4.5.1225.tar.gz -C /tmp # Installs the Tanium client, outputs install log to /tmp sudo rpm -i /tmp/TaniumClient-7.4.5.1225-1.rhe7.x86_64.rpm > /tmp/taniumclient_install.log # Sets the Tanium Client Server info sudo /opt/Tanium/TaniumClient
