Remote Execution
It would be nice if I had the ability to delete and/or modify remote execution tasks. Currently I cannot do that, so if I make a mistake and need to continue to smooth out the task, there is no way to do that without creating a new one. Also, it would be nice to have a list of tasks in addition to showing the running jobs and completed jobs.678Views2likes2CommentsRe: One2Many Script Repository
Just a bit of advice here...........don't ever count on getting a real time solution from a message board. Additionally, you could have solved this quickly yourself by going to https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters You'll find a DOS command to run a Ccleaner update on that page. No executable needed. You'll feel a lot more confident if you find these solutions yourself in the future. Google is your best friend when you don't have others in your department to rely on.

Hey CarlCapone, if you set up a "custom" One2Many, upload the files, then use the example syntax below, you can transfer multiple files using a simple DOS format: copyfile1.txt"C:\folderpath"&©file2.txt"C:\folderpath&©file3.txt ................ Essentially you'll need to separate each command by the double ampersand, which tells DOS that a new command is coming. I've been using this methodology for complex One2Many pushes for about 6 years and it takes some trial and error, but it usually works!11KViews0likes1CommentRe: LogMeIN Guardian has detected a problem with the LogMeIn software...
I've had this now on several of my LMI Pro installations. The only way we've been able to get rid of it is to uninstall the LMI software, reboot and do a reinstall. Would be nice if there were a quick fix issued by the folks @ LMI instead of having to do it this way.8.9KViews0likes1CommentRe: One2Many Script Repository
I've got a few goodies that I thought I'd share seeing as nobody has posted to this topic in a while. Important to note is that One2Many is MOST powerful in my opinion, when the "custom" task type is used. By using this type of task, you can copy files and run scripts in one step vs using one task to "deploy scripts" and another task to run batch files or executables. Also important to note is that, using the "custom" task, there is only ONE LINE given to execute DOS commands. You CAN execute multiple DOS commands on one line by using the "&&" command to separate the commands. For Example. . . this command would copy files that you've uploaded to a specified location(s) on the target computer. copy filename.txt "c:\users\userABC\documents"&© picture.jpeg "c:\users\userABC\pictures" ______________________________________________________________ Sleep&Wake @ 6:00: Puts the computer to sleep @ 6:00pm and wakes the computer up @ 6:00am. I use this because some of my computers have usb devices attached which don't allow them to sleep. Prerequisites: This script uses 2 different .xml files which I've exported from windows tasks in the task manager (windows7). I use the "custom" task, upload the xml files, then run this command in the "command to execute" field. copy wakeat6.xml "c:\vrad software\scripts"&© sleepat6.xml "c:\vrad software\scripts"&&schtasks /create /tn Sleep_at_6 /xml "c:\vrad software\scripts\sleepat6.xml"&&schtasks /create /tn Wake_at_6 /xml "c:\vrad software\scripts\wakeat6.xml" ______________________________________________________________ Install SpiceWorks:Installs Spiceworks. I have about 500 LogMeIn clients in the cloud....so I need Spiceworks to manage my inventory. Spiceworks has an "agent" which reports intricate computer hardware and software details back to my central server. I can monitor the server and determine computer depreciation, OS upgrade status as well as trigger alerts if malicious software is installed, or if the computer is low on resources. Spiceworks is free of charge. Prerequisites: You'll need to set up your own SpiceWorks server and your LMI clients will need to be able to talk to it's IP address and specific port (of your choosing). If you're on a LAN, there is a LANscan option available. After setup, you'll fill in the variables within the installer script to specify IP, Port and authentication key. msiexec.exe /x "Spiceworks Agent.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /q /norestart&&msiexec.exe /i "spiceworks agent.msi" SPICEWORKS_SERVER="server/ip"SPICEWORKS_AUTH_KEY="unique_key" SPICEWORKS_PORT=port/q /noresta ______________________________________________________________ Check Download Speed:Checks the download speed/bandwidth on the target computer. Prerequisites: Just paste the text below into a .vbs script called speedtest.vbs, upload the script into the "custom" task type, then run the commandcmd /c cscript speedtest.vbs.After you run the task, check the log file in LMI, it should show you the speed in kilobytes. Script: (Paste into notepad, save asspeedtest.vbs) strSource= "http://networking.us.uu.net/customer_support/pal/pal_4/newf1.zip" strDest = "c:\newf1.zip" StartTime = Timer set HTTP = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") HTTP.open "GET", strSource, False Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set Stream = createobject("adodb.stream") Const adTypeBinary = 1 Const adSaveCreateNotExist = 1 Const adSaveCreateOverWrite = 2 Stream.type = adTypeBinary Stream.open Stream.savetofile strDest, adSaveCreateOverWrite EndTime = Timer set Stream = nothing set HTTP = nothing filesys.DeleteFile "c:\newf1.zip" TimeIt = 957/(EndTime - StartTime) wscript.echo FormatNumber(TimeIt, 2) & " " & "KBps" ______________________________________________________________ Message to End User:This one is simple. It's a simple pop up window that appears in front of all other windows on the end user side. I don't know why LMI doesn't just build this functionality into LMI Central........probably because they're always on vacation. Every time I ask for some new functionality I get a polite message back from them "we'll consider your idea.........". Prerequisites: There is a charactor limit in your message. Think Twitter. If you use too many characters the task will error and the end user won't see the message. This task type is the simple "remote command". We have outages at which we need to alert our end (cloud) users quickly without calling all of them. This is our preferred method. Note, the message will disappear after 999 seconds. This is the longest timeout available in the DOS msg code (to my knowledge). msg * /time:999 **ATTENTION**There was ~20 minute outage in which a piece of networking hardware failed. We were able to resurrect this and do not anticipate any further issues. ______________________________________________________________ I hope someone finds these helpful. I understand that these won't be helpful to everyone, however if you note the importance of being able to use the "custom" task type to perform multiple tasks without having to run 2,3,4 tasks individually. Please shoot me a message if this helped you out :) Lj22KViews2likes0CommentsRe: One2Many Script Repository
I work at a company in which 500+ employees work remotely. Often we have software outages that are planned and we like to communicate to all employees that these outages are going to happen in XX amount of minutes. I use the DOS command 'msg' to accomplish this. This can be pasted directly into the "run a remote command" task dialogue box. msg * /time:999 **ATTENTION**SOFTWARE OUTAGE IN 20 MINUTES** **The software system will be unavailable as of 7:15am CST. The expected outage time is 20 minutes.** This message will pop into the forefront of the end user's display even if the system is at the login prompt. I find this very useful because One2Many will ignore any systems that are offline, thus only the online users will receive the message and because it appears on top of all other windows, it is more effective than email communication. Note: The /time:999 switch will force the window to stick for 999 seconds. It seems that entering any value over 999 will force the default value and the message disappears after 15 seconds or so. I use this timer in case someone is away from their computer at the time I send the messages.23KViews1like0Comments
