WORKLETS = RADICAL EFFICIENCY; SHARE YOURS!

Tutorial



WORKLETS: SHARING IS CARING



Do you have a broad variety of Worklets and have been itching for a way to share
your knowledge with others? Look no further than our Community Worklets catalog!
All of these Worklets have been shared by both Automox employees and users and
encompass a variety of different tasks. Plus, submitting your own Worklets is
easy. First, you’ll make your way over to the Community Worklets category within
the Automox Community: Once there, you can find all of the Worklets or Worklet
discussions submitted by our community! You can also click the orange “Create
Topic” button on the top right-hand side to create your new topic. If you’re not
asking a question and simply sharing your Worklet, be sure you choose
“Conversation” in the new topic module. Add your Worklet title in the top, as
so: “Worklet: [Worklet Title]” Within the Description box, you’ll now add your
code. Each Worklet has evaluation and remediation code. You’ll divide your code
up into these two sections, titled “Evaluation Code” and “Remediation Code.”
When you’re ready to put your code in, you’ll choose the code format using the
three-dot dropdown on the right of the text editor. From there, you’ll choose
<not set> as the language for basic formatting and add your code into the code
box that appears. Again, you will do this for both the Evaluation and
Remediation sections and they’ll look like this: Once complete, since you
already started from the Community Worklets category, it will automatically
choose that category to submit your topic in. If you are starting from a
different part of the community or from the home page, you can always choose the
category from the dropdown shown above. You can also add some optional tags if
you would like and click on “Create” to submit it! Each Worklet goes through an
internal safety check to ensure there is no malicious code. After it’s approved,
you’re all set!

JUST RELEASED: NEW 'PATCH OPERATOR' USER ROLE

Hello, Automox Community! Vania here 👋 , Product Manager at Automox. I’m
excited to announce that our new user role, Patch Operator, is now available!
We’ve been hearing from users that they’d like a user role that does not have
the ability to create or modify Worklets. For this reason, we’ve created a new
role that still has full permissions for patch policies, but does not have
“create” or “modify” permissions for Worklet and Required Software Policies. The
Patch Operator role, however, can still run Worklet or Required Software
Policies. With the addition of this role, we also changed the name of the “Patch
Administrator” role to “Zone Operator” in order to better align with this role’s
permissions.  Here are some screenshots of the new role: Assign a user to
multiple zones as a Patch Operator Add a user to a zone as a Patch Operator For
additional information, check out our user documentation. Let us know what you
think of the new role in the comments below! Vania

BANDWIDTH TEST VIA SPEEDTEST CLI

With work from home and troubleshooting of remote networks the team I am on
constantly are getting reports of things “being slow”.  Many times the issue
comes down to poor WI-FI connection or an internet issues on the end user side. 
Who of us has not heard “But Netflix works just fine”….😣 I am using the
basic Health Worklet but wanted to create a new worklet that provides more
information.   In came SpeedTest.net CLI using the following evaluation code and
remediation code I am able to get live speed test for end users.  Download the
zip file - Extract and upload the .exe into the worklet.   Note: This is windows
centric Evaluation Code: exit 1 Remediation Code: &'.\speedtest.exe'

LINUX AGENT FIREWALL REQUIREMENTS...

Hello, So the requirements on what to allow outbound through our firewall for
Windows agents (for WindowsUpdate) are very clear.  But what do we need to allow
for Linux agents?  Or does all of that come via Automox’s cloud CDN?
Cheers,Mark.

USING AUTOMOX POLICY TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 11

I’ve found some informative threads on blocking the Windows 11 upgrade with
Automox policy but I have devices I’d like to push Windows 11 to and I’ve been
unable to use a policy or worklet for this.  I have not found a patch or
required software method to push out the Win 11 upgrade and have had no success
running the upgrade via a worklet.   Is there any type of best practice for the
Windows 11 upgrade?  It would greatly benefit our efficiency if I can use
Automox for this.

BEST WAY TO SET MONTHLY WINDOWS UPDATES BY SEVERITY

Hello, we are looking at moving away from SCCM and use Automox for our updates.
What is best practice to configure a policy that will update severe and high
updates once every 30 days?  I have Install Optional and Recommended Windows
Updates enabled, package targeting is Critical and High   Device Targeting with
Attribute = OS, Condition = In and Value = Windows. I do not have a schedule
assigned as I need to test this manually first.    User Notifications are set
as: Install Notifications are disabled Reboot Notifications are enabled   Enable
deferrals, enable automatic deferrals enabled, with hourly deferrals set as 1
hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours. Max deferrals is set as 3.

OPERATING SYSTEM NATIVE REBOOT INTEGRATION

Hi Guys, I have previously mentioned this to support although I am not too sure
if there is a procedure for requesting additional features for the Automox
agent? thus thought it would be useful to post in the community to try and reach
out the toe correct team\department. It would be really useful if the Automox
agent was able to integrate with windows from a native OS reboot perspective.
One thing I am seeing allot  is that users are postponing the reboot
notifications generated by Automox and then restarting there device outside of
Automox. Although patches are still being applied the Automox dashboard does not
appear to be aware of this reboot and the agent continues to report  back to the
dashboard that a reboot is required. If the reboot is initiated from the Automox
reboot notification the dashboard updates as expected when the r the host
reboots although it would be useful if there was some integration to reboots
that are initiated outside of the Automox.

HOW TO BULK ADD DEVICES TO GROUPS


If this doesn’t belong in the “Labs” portion, I apologize in advance.   I’m
migrating devices from one Zone to new Zones.  I think I’ve got that process
mostly down, but am now looking for the best way to use the API to read in a csv
file with the new devices and join them to a new group in the new Zone.   Do we
have something like that, that I can use?

INSTALL MSI USING ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES


Hey AM Team We 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

WHICH NEW AX FEATURES ARE HIGHEST ON YOUR 2022 WISHLIST?

So what’cha want? Happy 2022, y’all! Even though we’ve barely stumbled into the
start of 2020: Part III, I think we’re probably all ready for a cup of tea and a
nap. But first, I have a question: What AX features are highest on your wishlist
for 2022? Here, I’ll get us started: as an Admin, I’d like to see some remote
device management in the AX console. (Sorry, but none of you can use that one
now! )
_______________________________________________________________________________
  While we look to 2022, let’s also look back at 2021 - the features AX released
last year came fast and furious at times, so we’ll do a quick recap. Give me
just a second..so many new things.. Recapping….. Okay, done! Here’s a quick,
non-chronological rundown (organized by functionality), with some links to
additional resources. If you have any questions about any of them, let us know
