Meshcentral: Execute group Script (or programs) for massive update/installations

Created on 27 Mar 2019  Â·  7Comments  Â·  Source: Ylianst/MeshCentral

Would be great to execute multiple install on remote computer by checkbox in groups
Launching a Script, start an installation, execute a program, using shared folders as repository to transfer files to selected clients...
Not all machines are in a domain to get gpo or similar, this sort of "remote installer" would be very useful

Maybe it's only a dream, but ...

yes. we want)

You guys are demanding :) Got lots on the plate right now, I am sure we will get there eventually.

I have a dream…. :)
To be happy, for me it's enough to know this feature is possible to be developed in the future, just a little line in your huge to-do list…

Thanks for quick answer Ylianst

Technically we can do something like:

  • Upload the scripts to common folder for that particular device group
  • Send command to agent to "sync" the content of the folder to local machine
  • Send command to agent to execute particular script

This will require few new "msg" handler in meshcore.js (to sync and to exec).

Here's an example of the front end GUI on another RMM system manager:
Capture1

The machines here are all in one group. The command line here runs the native CLI for the respective OS of the clients, and has full clipboard access (both C&P).

I've found some tools for multiple computers configuration management and automation, for example:

Some other simple tools are described here:
