Looking for powershell script to uninstall Rapid7 agent

Looking for a PowerShell script to uninstall the Rapid7 agent from Windows. I used Automox Otto AI to create one (see below), but when I run it, I keep getting “Rapid7 Insight Agent is not installed on this machine.” I checked the system, and the software is installed, so I know it exists.  ======================# Otto AI Generated Code# ======================# Uninstall Rapid7 Insight Agent$uninstallString = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*Rapid7 Insight Agent*"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UninstallStringif ($uninstallString) {    Write-Host "Uninstalling Rapid7 Insight Agent..."    Start-Process -FilePath "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/x $uninstallString /qn" -Wait    Write-Host "Rapid7 Insight Agent has been uninstalled."}else {    Write-Host "Rapid7 Insight Agent is not installed on this machine."}

List of process names not application names

Working on a  worklet script to kill all of the processes of applications that automox supports on the windows side of things from here https://help.automox.com/hc/en-us/articles/5352042232084-Third-Party-Software-Support) but does anyone have the process names that show up when you run “Get-Process” from command prompt? For instance, Google Chrome = chrome or Microsoft Excel = EXCEL? We have found that automox cannot update applications if they are open which is different coming from SCCM that forced closed applications to install.

Trouble with getting software to install and update using WINGET -- Clourdflare WARP

I have a script that works just fine locally through PowerShell. However I am running into a major pain. It seems that winget wont work with automox as it runs in the system context which is incompatible with winget. Has anyone found a solution to this. I have tried set-location i have tried uploading winget.exe to the worklet. This is causing my brain to hurt. Specifically this is checking if Cloudflare WARP is installed and if not installing it and if so updating it all using winget.

User reboots with Automatic reboot disabled

Hi, we currently have a policy which only patches and does not reboot devices automatically. Since user initiated reboots “do not count” by Automox - What is the best way to prompt a reboot notification to the users, without forcing a reboot of course?

Worklet payload files - Where are they?

Hi Everyone!I am trying to create a worklet for Linux servers that requires a file to be put onto the servers.  I have uploaded the file to the worklet, but I cannot find details on where this file will be located for me to interact with it.  Where do the files get placed when the worklet runs?  My evaluation and remediation code will need to interact with this payload file.

Windows 11 21H2 to 23H2 Update

I have a handful of Windows 11 21H2 devices that I would like to get to 23H2 so they can continue to receive security updates. How can I do this with Automox? We have had good success in getting Windows 10 devices using the worklet “Windows - Configuration - Windows 11 Feature Update” but any time that is run on a Win 11 21H2 device it simply checks out as already on Windows 11, and doesn’t apply anything. I could be overlooking something as simple as including a specific update in our regular monthly patch policies, but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. How have others done this?

Win 11 Target Release Issue

Hi all,Has anyone had issues with a feature update showing for a device in Automox after setting the target release version in registry?This is the second time I’ve had this issue.I set the target release version to 23h2, enabling it with the value of 1, and specifying the product version of win 11. Once I set those values, I rescan the machine and usually the update is showing as a patch for the device in Automox, but in this case, it isn’t. The device is win 11 ready.Any ideas?This is the PS script I’m using to push out the reg keys. I’ve ran this on 20+ devices and the update shows up with no issues.#># Define Values in this section#############################################$rValue = '1' #Enable Target Release Version 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled$rInfoValue = '23h2' #Specify Windows 11 Target Release Version.

Is there a worklet to install Adobe Pro?

I do have the exe installer from adobe and have tried to create a worklet but it doesn’t appear to be workingI tried looking through the catalog and previous threads and couldn’t find anything. Is there already a worklet that exists to install adobe acrobat pro?  I am posting the worklet I tried to create in hopes that someone could try to fix it. I use a payload with the setup.exe file. However this doesn’t appear to be working. Any help is much appreciated! <#.SYNOPSIS    EXE Software Installation (System Wide-All Users) - Evaluation Script    OS Support: Windows 7 and above    Required modules: NONE.DESCRIPTION    This worklet is designed to grant an Admin the ability to install a (System Wide-All Users) EXE with minimal knowledge of the bitness,    command line, or other EXE properties. By placing an application name between the single quotes, the worklet will    scan the registry for the matching application. If the application is not found, it will return an Exit code of '1'

Windows Worklet NET Core SDK Removal

This has been an interesting one I thought I’d share. I’m honestly still very hands on with this one and only run it manually. Meaning I fully expect this to be a journey, not a perfect solution.Also please note, I’m using the Get-Win32 and Remove-Win32App cmdlets available by using Automox’s amazing WDK https://developer.automox.com/developer-portal/wdk/overview/ (saves me from writing so much code) Another call-out. These worklets will install dotnet-uninstall-tool version 1.6.0 explicitly (update code to use newer versions). Learn more about that at Emanuele Bartolesi blog here https://dev.to/kasuken/removing-old-version-of-net-4052 or just go checkout the latest releases of the Microsoft built tool here https://github.com/dotnet/cli-lab/releases My workflow consists of using two worklets as such:Update variable versions in BOTH worklets manually based on my own internal needs of what versions need removed (typically get this list from a vulnerability scanner’s output) Run the NET C

Workstation Onboarding

I am in looking at purchasing Automox and currently in the trials phase. One thing I am interested in is the Remote Wipe Worklet. The question I have is, is it possible to have a worklet launch another worklet? I would like to be able to launch the Remote Wipe worklet and when this finishes, launch either individual worklets (for the additional software that needs to install afterwards) or maybe have one worklet built specifically for installing multiple packages. We currently run an on-prem solution that can run through sequences to load the OS and install apps. We have another solution that we can build custom packages (like installing apps or running powershell scripts) and then have them all run in sequence.

Linux TPM encryption Worklet

Hi, folks! I’m happy to share a Linux Worklet script that we at Mapbox IT have now fully open-sourced. The Worklet we created here ultimately wound up turning into a full-fledged project that we’ve since named: “Lockbox.” Lockbox builds off of pre-existing Linux encryption tools and aims to offer IT staff with a linux endpoint encryption experience that feels similar to Windows Bitlocker or macOS FileVault. That is, it: Allows admins to remotely rotate, store, and clear encryption keys on Linux endpoints Utilizes TPM key storage for a seamless boot-up experience (No need to enter a recovery key each time) Stores encryption keys as device tags in the Automox console (Drew on inspiration from this awesome worklet Creates a platform for administrators to “lock” devices remotely with a simple tpm2_clear command. (Clears TPM so the user is locked out but leaves a remaining admin recovery key) Never stores API credentials in plain-text Note that this does require your endpoint to be encry

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?
