Import scripts

Import scripts

You can import scripts to the appliance as needed.

1.
Go to the Scripts 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 Scripts.
2.
Select Choose Action > Import.
3.
Paste the existing script into the space provided, then click Save.

Duplicate scripts

Duplicate scripts

If there is a script that is similar to a script you want to create, you can duplicate that script and edit it as needed. Using duplication can be faster than creating a script from scratch.

1.
Go to the Script Detail 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 Scripts.
c.
Click the name of a script.
2.
At the bottom of the page, click Duplicate to display the Scripts page.
The duplicated script appears on the list.
3.
Click the linked name of the duplicated script to open it for editing.
See Edit scripts.

Using the Run and Run Now commands

Using the Run and Run Now commands

Run scripts from the Run Now page
Run scripts from the Script Detail page
Run scripts from the Scripts page
Monitor Run Now status and view script details

The Run and Run Now commands enable you to run scripts on target devices immediately without setting a schedule.

Running scripts without setting a schedule is useful when:

•
You suspect that devices on your network are infected with a virus or other vulnerability, and they might compromise the entire network if not resolved right away.
•
You want to test and debug scripts on a specific device or a set of devices during development.

To run Online KScripts, target devices must have an Agent connection to the appliance.

Tip:
 
TIP: To minimize the risk of deploying scripts to unintended devices, create a label that represents the devices on which you want to perform the Run Now command.

The Run Now command is available on these Administrator Console pages:

•
Run Now and Script Detail pages: Running scripts from the Scripting > Run Now page enables you to run the selected script on target devices.
•
Scripts page: Running scripts from the Scripts page using the Run Now option in the Choose Action menu enables you to run multiple scripts at the same time.
* 
NOTE: In case you encounter an error while running a script, refer to Error codes caused by patching and scripting for a list of error codes that may help you diagnose the issue.

Run scripts from the Run Now page

Run scripts from the Run Now page

You can run scripts on target devices from the Run Now page.

CAUTION:
 
CAUTION: Scripts are deployed immediately when you click Run Now.
•
Use Run Now cautiously.
•
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.
2.
In the Scripts drop-down list, select a script. To find a script, begin typing in the field.
3.
In the Deploy section, specify deployment options:

Option

Options and Descriptions

Restrict to 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.

4.
Click Run Now.
The Run Now Status page appears.
