Is it possible to call the saved powershell scripts from our own Automate scripts? That's be a fantastic feature.

Also, I'd love to be able to select multiple agents on the Client Powershell screen for updating powershell.

So basically you would want a new function available in the scripting engine to allow you to call and execute the powershell scripts you saved to an agent and then all you would want to have to do is select control and pass the %computerid% and the friendly name of the script or for that matter a saved command and return the results to the script in the form of a variable?


Something like that?....



Ya we could do that....

There is only one thing i see that really is inconvenient,
the p4l powershell scripts, and some others are scheduled to run on individual computers rather than groups so it inflates the scheduled scripts table. so when you view scheduled scripts there are a bunch for this makes it hard to work with.
