Add an extension template to insert a CLI command into Host menu

cps 7 years ago updated by Caitlin M Barnes (Product Manager) 6 years ago 1

Right now there is a great extension called Command Toolbox that inserts a host-side menu item "Command Toolbox" and when that is selected, a dialog box appears and allows you to select from a
drop-down list of up to 10 CLI commands to be issued to the selected client computers. This is great for commands that are not used too frequently, however there are other cases of frequently used commands where this process is a little tedious.


Simple example: it is fairly common to want to issue a restart command to one or a group of
selected computers. I would like to have a menu item called "Restart" which maps to the CLI command "shutdown -r". Having this directly in the menu would save three steps versus using Command Toolbox.


If there were an extension that implements this, it would then be trivial to clone that extension and edit it for a different menu item / command, as needed.


Even better would be the ability to stick such a command in the toolbar (one less click to access it), but I'm not sure if that's even possible with the API as it currently exists.

Test button on prompting user for credentials

Sam Ravenscroft 7 years ago updated by Caitlin M Barnes (Product Manager) 4 years ago 1

When you click on the prompt for credentials button it has a Test button. Can this not be integrated into the OK button so that when a user enter invalid credentials and does not click on test first the OK button will inform them that the credentials it not working and then prompt them again to enter the correct credentials ?

Additional General Info extension change script directory

Cody Arnold 7 years ago updated by Sean White 6 years ago 1

For the "Additional General Info" Extension
We have an issue where when it runs the following PS script


#!ps
#maxlength=100000
#timeout=90000
echo "INFORMATIONREQUEST-RESPONSE/1"
echo "CommandType: General"
echo "ContentType: xml"
echo ""
$Host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize = New-Object Management.Automation.Host.Size (500, 25)
$computer = get-wmiobject win32_computersystem | select Manufacturer, Model
$bios = get-wmiobject win32_bios | select Name, SerialNumber
write-output $computer.Manufacturer, $computer.Model, $bios.Name, $bios.SerialNumber| ConvertTo-Xml -As Stream


So then it appears it creates a VB script under C:\Windows\Temp with a name that isn't static like so.


20180102101023393_temp.vbs

20180109101158669_temp.vbs


it changes each time.

Our AV software we use on our clients networks blocks this from running and we're definitely not going to whitelist C:\Windows\Temp and I can't wildcard exclude, my exclusions have to be exact down to the exact file name.

So that being said is there a way this can be changed to where it runs out of like a predetermined location where it can be whitelisted like a program files directory for screenconnect & a "Scripts" Directory or something rather.

This extension is super useful to us for collecting information on the fly, as it sits right now all customers which have script control enabled in antivirus which is over 90% of them it doesn't work for us.


Ideas?

jmontag 7 years ago updated by anonymous 7 years ago 7

I downloaded both APK files that are listed on the screenconnect.com/download page. Neither file let me fully control a Samsung tablet. I could see the screen and tab through apps but my mouse clicks wouldn't work. Is there something I need to do to get my mouse clicks to work? Thanks!

Change the default session option

perikleous 7 years ago updated by anonymous 6 years ago 1

Is there any way to choose as a default option for a session the Urlauncher instead of download the .exe that you have to run it?

Some people they don't even know how to run an .exe file so it will be faster this way.

Thanks.
