Do not click Run Now unless you are certain that you want to run the script on the target devices.
1.
Go to the Run Now page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Run Now.

Options and Descriptions

Labels

Limit deployment to devices that belong to specified labels. To select labels, click Edit, drag labels to the Limit Deployment to window, then click Save.

If you select a label that has a Replication Share or an alternate download location, the appliance copies digital assets from that Replication Share or alternate download location instead of downloading them directly from the appliance.

* 
NOTE: The appliance uses a Replication Share before it uses the KACE Alt Location.

Devices

Limit deployment to one or more devices. To find devices, begin typing in the field. Scoped users can see only those devices that are associated with their role, when the role is assigned a label. For more information about scoping devices to user roles, see Add or edit User Roles.

Monitor Run Now status and view script details

You can view the status of scripts that have been started using the Run Now command and access script details.

Ensure that firewall settings do not block the KACE Agent from listening on port 443.

The Run Now command communicates over port 443. Scripts might fail to deploy if firewall settings block the KACE Agent from listening on that port. For more information about port requirements, see Verifying port settings, NTP service, and website access.

1.
Go to the Run Now Status list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Run Now Status.
2.
Review the information on the Run Now Status list.
Information on this page includes:
◦
Started: The time the Run Now command was issued.
◦
Name: The name of the script. Click this script name to view the Run Now Detail page.
◦
Targeted: The number of devices on which the script is scheduled to run.
◦
Pushed, Running, Pending: The number of devices on which the script is attempting to run.
◦
Succeeded, Failed, Completed: The number of devices on which the script has run.
◦
Success Rate: The percentage of scripts that ran successfully on target devices.

The numbers in the Pushed, Running, Pending, Succeeded, Failed, and Completed columns increment accordingly as the script is deployed to target devices. If errors occur in pushing the scripts to the selected devices, you can search the scripting logs to determine the cause. See Search the scripting logs.

3.
Click the link in the Started column of a script to display the Run Now Status Detail page.
Information on this page includes:
◦
Run Now Statistics: The results of a script that was pushed, the push failures, push successes, completed devices, running devices, and successes and failures in numbers and percentage.
◦
Failed Deployment: The devices that the appliance could not contact and therefore did not receive the policy. When the script is pushed, it might take some time for the device to complete a policy.
◦
Running: The devices that have received the policy but have not reported its results. After the policy runs, it reports either success or failure. The results are sorted under the appropriate section. Each individual device page also has the results of the Run Now events run on that device.
◦
Failed Execution: The devices on which the script failed.
◦
Successful Execution: The devices on which the script ran successfully.
