Go Postal – Exchange Report Manager plugin for LabTech

Go Postal Microsoft Exchange Report Manager

Go Postal is a Microsoft Exchange 2007, 2010 and 2013 reporting plugin for LabTech that uses Powershell to generate reports on each Exchange server being managed by the LabTech RMM platform. The plugin searches all systems for Exchange server software and if it finds a compatible system it adds it to the list of Exchange servers. By selecting an Exchange server you can request the report from that Exchange server in real time and it will retrieve that report directly from the exchange server.

Plugin can be viewed on the Dashboard -> Config -> Integration -> Going Postal

Selecting the View Menu from the main menu bar and selecting Go Postal.

GhostFile -> Host File Manager plugin for LabTech

GhostFile plugin for Labtech is a Host file manager that allows a Tech to add, update or delete host file entries from within LabTech.

RegHog Windows Registry Search Plugin for LabTech

RegHog is a Windows registry search plugin for the LabTech RMM platform. The tool allow you to search the Windows registry of a single computer or across the entire client.

The results are returned directly to the plugins display window where you can monitor the replies from the systems the the queries are running on.

Version 1.0.1

NUT – Network Utilization Testing Plugin for LabTech

NUT uses IPerf to test between 2 endpoints. When launching a scan with NUT we send commands to both systems to start the IPerf executable. The Host side and the Client side sessions are sent start up commands and the client is then pointed to the host to run the configured scan options. Once the scan is complete the results are returned to the plugin console menu.

The Host side must have firewall access on the port and protocol you select (default is 5001 and TCP). You will also need to supply a FQDN or routable IP address for the host system to allow the client to locate the host system across the internet and to connect.

You can select TCP or UDP protocols and how long to run the test from the config menu.

In version 1.0.1 we are forcing the host side to be one system under client 1. We are using our LT server as the host side and have opened up ports to allow UDP and TCP testing on port 5001. You can select any system to be a host just remember to make sure to allow firewall access to host and that host has a external FQDN or IP to allow access from other locations.

In version 1.0.2 we added the servers at any clients location to be added to the Servers side of the IPerf testing. Fixed a could minor display issues.

Version 1.0.2

LabTech – Agent Status Plugin provides client level view of deployed agents

View Agents Differently

Sometimes bringing the horse to water is not enough as I was finding with some of the techs and engineers that I work with. We were once a Kaseya house and now that we were 2 years into LabTech; why was it they still seemed to want to go to several basic tools in Kaseya to get the same data that was available in LabTech? Interviewing on of my engineers I was given a simple reason and that was “he liked the view..” Well if that is all you need is a logical view of the data in a simple and easy place to find it then we can replicate that in LabTech.

In steps Agent Status

Agent Status tries to replicate the Agent -> Status view on the Kaseya RMM tool in LabTech in a simple and logical manor. We have placed a tab on the Client Console that provides a complete view of all systems and quick access to mass amounts of common data about the agents you have deployed for that client.

FileHog Storage Analyzer for LabTech

“Rooting out the Truffles in a dirty filing system”

FileHog is a file stating tool that collects file names and paths for all files that meet the search criteria provided.

File Hog allows you to configure search parameters and search drives and folders for files that match filters, attributes, file dates and file sizes. Would you like to know how many files over 10 Mb is on a PC and where? What about all hidden files in the users home directory; or maybe you want all files on the C drive that have the word “Contract” in the name that are also “Zip” files, but only ones over 50 MB.

Yeap you can do that too…

You can search files by location, last change date, files size, attributes or plain text filter or by using any combination of these filters you can search for files across an drive or folder location.

But wait there’s more…

As on version 1.0.1 you have a Client Tab that allows you to scan the PCs of an entire Client for the same search parameters and see what each computer replies with in the same comfortable view as at the computer level.

Using the Configure Tab to modify the search criteria for this PC and save the configuration, then select the Scan button to start a scan using those settings.

Scans take on average 2 to 5 minutes to complete and will be displayed on the File Viewer Tab. You can monitor the Scripts tab for the completion of the scans and to troubleshoot issues like was my file returned to big for LabTech.

You can export the file list to Excel once scan is completed, the Export to Excel can take some time if you have returned a lot of data. Ten minutes for 5000 records is not unlikely.

LT has limited the file content copy to 2 MB files max. If data fails to show then the most likely cause is the SQL file C:\windows\LTSVC\FileHog\filehog.sql is over 2 MB in size. Re-craft your search by adjusting files sizes and minimum date to reduce the max return on scans.

[LabTech]-Flushot AntiViral and Antimalware plugin

Flu Shot

It’s the art of avoiding being sick by pricking yourself regularly in the hopes that you may dodge a bullet!

The plugin on the other hand,

In comes “Flu Shot” for LabTech, A no install AV and Malware scanner using the Emsisoft Command line Scanner – Version 9.0 to scan a PC on a set schedule and to clean off the PC if anything was found. After each scan you can see the results of that scan in the LabTech plugin visible in the computer console.

ScanTab

In the first version you can launch scans manually from the console or schedule the Give PC A Flu Shot on a system or a group. The Send the Nurse Over script is just a worker script launched by the Give PC A Flu Shot, do not schedule or execute this script alone. (It just won’t do anything useful) Import the scripts, then using the plugin manage under the help menu of your LabTech console, you can upload the plugin and activate it. Make sure the scripts go to the correct folders in Labtech then start scanning systems.

The script will cause the scanner to update all AV defs to current status, runs a full system scan on PC, finds and removes all threats. Reports back to LabTech (on average in 1 hour) then finds and loads results of the scans. You will see in the display all the scans, how many files were scanned, how long scan took, and what was found and what was deleted.

New in Version 1.1.

We now added the ability to setup custom scanning configs, selecting a system you can modify the scan policy for that system from the Flu Shot Tab. We also now save and display the actual log files from the scanner based on log time under the new Logs tab of the Flu Shot Plugin.

New in Version 1.2

Several bug fixes and improved scripts, Oh yea we also added in help documentation so you can get all the help you need with managing FluShot.

New in Version 1.2.1

We added a new Client Tab that provided a overview of the scan history for all computers the are under the client. We added the ability to export that view as a report in Excel. We added a few more nurse checks for long running scans and now do now force the download of the scanner if a local copy exists. This will prevent some of the download denials we have seen when a lot of systems scan at same time.

New in Version 1.3.1

We added a new sub tab for “Quick Scans” that will allow you to run a quick interactive scan and see the results in the terminal provided. We added UK time support to the Nurse collection scripts and corrected several issues in the scripts and console.

Flu Shot Version 1.3.3

Please comment here how it works for you so we know if we need to fix anything.

LabTech – SurfLog Plugin stores browser history for IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari

Squidwork’s garage is launching another neat plugin that fetches the browsing history from 4 major browsers available on Windows systems. SurfLog collects the browser history for Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari browsers and stores that data inside the LabTech database. The plugin in version 1.0 reads the last 30 days of logs and displays them on the computer console, allows you to launch a new scan and refresh your current view. You can also use the Clear All Logs button to remove all current logs for the computer your viewing or export the data into Excel.

Each column is sort able so you are able to see by Browser Type, URL, Site Title, User Profile or the number of visits to a URL. The plugin comes with one script that collects the data and should be scheduled on widows client groups for once a day.

The Surflog script only grabs the last 24 hours of logs to keep from get to much data that it then cannot import correctly in to the LT database using LT scripting. For this reason you should schedule script to run every 24 hours or less. It will not duplicate any entries into the database so you can run it every hour if you like and only new items will be added to the database. The Surflog script also manages the retention policy and will clear out logs based on the set policy. You can set the policy on the Info Tab of the Client console under the sub tab [SurfLog].

Enable SurfLog on a per client basis

Client Console ->Info Tab -> SurfLog Tab -> Enable Surflog Collection

You can enable Surflog Collection on a per client bases by enabling each client that you would like the collection process to run on. You should schedule the script to run on all windows systems for all systems in labtech then use the enable feature to allow scanner to run or not for each client. The script will validate whether or not to run based on this setting.

SurfLog History Retention

Client Console ->Info Tab -> SurfLog Tab -> Retention Policy

You can set the retention policy for each client between 1 and 90 days, as the collection script runs it will look at the policy for the client and will clear out history based on the retention policy set.

A “Client” must be enabled for any scans on systems under that client to run even if directly scheduled on that system!

SurfLog Key Word Highlight

Client Console ->Info Tab -> SurfLog Tab -> Key Words List

If you place a comma “,” separated list of words in this field the view of each log under this client will highlight those rows where the words show up in the URL, Title and Visit From columns.

We added the ability to surf the links from the history and you can now export the browser history to Excel.

New in version 1.1.0 Cloud hosted LT servers are now fully supported. Just edit the collector script to enable or disable cloud support. See [Grab Surf Logs] script notes for more information.
