LabTech & ConnectWise Plugin – Printer Health Status

Printer Health Status

Mr Keigher posted on the Labtech forums that wouldn’t it be great if there was a Printer Status Plugin for Labtech that could show if there were any issues with a printer and maybe even interact with a failed printer. Well Marty your ship has come in! Let me introduce you to your new Printer Status Plugin. The team down in Squidwork’s basement went to town taking what seemed like minutes (and it looks like it) to build a Labtech plugin that would do what had to be done.

In Version 1.0.4 you have good management over printers in 2 main views; the global view and the client view. The Global view allows for the full management suite of tools to be executed on any printer being scanned and will give you a quick view in to the troubles your clients maybe having. The Client view provides the same management functions but also allows you to enable and disable scanning for a client and to include desktops in printer scans.

Lets show you what we have:

Kaseya Agent Procedure – Local Admin Audit

Cubert has created another simple auditing script for Kaseya Agent procedures. This script grabs all the users and groups in the Local Administrators Group of any Windows system and saves then to a file on the Kserver. Every time the script runs it will upload and compare the files for differences. If it finds that a user or group was added or removed it will alert the Kserver. If you have a GetFile Alarm rule setup in the Monitor Menu -> Alerts -> GetFile to create a ticket or email you then you will receive an alert anytime the script is run and changes are seen.

Download and unzip the XML file and import it in to Kaseya Agent Procedures. There is no scripts or extra files needed with this guy so you only need the XML file inside the zip.

Kaseya Agent Procedure -> Check Active Directory for Active User Changes

Agent Procedure “GetActiveADUsers” is a small script I created that grabs the list of all “active” users in all OU’s and pipes that information along with their email addresses to a file. The script then grabs file and stores that file in the GetFile Area inside Kaseya. The script is also setup to alarm on change which will allow you to add a monitor for “getfile” that will email you or do something when the list of users changes.

Makes a great tool when you have large AD environments where there are a lot of OU’s and/or users are scattered all over the AD infrastructure. The text file created provides the users full name, email address and dept name if filled out.

Get script here -> Procedure GetActiveADUsers

This is a zip file with the procedure XML file inside. You will need to assign this script to only Active Directory Servers and schedule it for once a day. Then select the Monitor Tab and then Alerts and create a Alarm using the “Get Files” option in the “Select Alert Function ” drop down list. Have it email you if the alarm is struck.

That’s all there is to it!

[Kaseya Script] Modify/Disable TCP Global Parameters on Windows systems

Need another Kaseya agent procedure? Here is one I use alot.

This article describes the TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), and Network Direct Memory Access (NetDMA) and other features that are available for the TCP/IP protocol inside of Windows. I have spent probably hundreds of hours on cases involving TCP Offloading and I know most of the signs (intermittent dropped connections, missing traffic in network traces, RDP blank windows, etc…).

I created a Kaseya script that goes and disables many of these NIC features Windows puts in their OS that causes so much havoc at times.

Download Script here -> Procedure_Network_feature_shutdown

It is pretty basic, it sets several registery values and runs several shell CMDs using netsh to disable these protocols.

I hope this helps some of you out there.

[Kaseya Scripts] Repair VSS Writers on Windows Servers Agent Procedure

Are you having VSS issues? Need a script to launch when either errors are reported or as a point and shoot script to repair VSS writer issues? Well Cubert has created a new VSS script that is fairly simple in nature but gets the job done nicely. This Kasey Agent Procedure was written for Kaseya 6+ RMM and has 2 parts.

Part 1: Is the VSS-RESET.bat batch file that does the actual work by shutting down the services and re-registering the dlls used by the different VSS Writers. Afterwards it outputs a file to the temp directory with a printout of the VSS writer list cmd.

Part 2: Is the Kaseya Agent procedure that copies the batch file to the system and executes it. It then waits a few minutes for everything to complete and then grabs the report file generated by the batch file and places it on the “GetFile” tab under your [Agent data] menu item inside of LiveConnect.

You can review the report file to see if you are still generating errors after the repairs are preformed.

I hope this helps someone out there is Kaseya land!

Kaseya Agent Procedure -> Alert if Privileged Account are changed in Active Directory

Out of the skunkworks here at Squidworks comes a new Kaseya Agent Procedure. This procedure (Script) pulls all members of privileged accounts groups like Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins and stores it to the GETFILE location on your K-Server. Also viewable using LiveConnect -> Agent Data -> GetFile Tab. You can add and remove groups from the VBScript to match your needs. The nice thing about this script is it finds out what your Forest is and queries the domains inside. You do not need to edit script for every domain in your customer base. This 1 script will query any domain it is pointed at, with out knowing what the domain name is! (Sweet) This makes it a great tool to deploy across all customers as it requires no edits to run on any domain.

The script should be scheduled to run every day, each time it is run it copies a new file up to the GETFILE area and does a compare of the 2 files. If they are not exactly the same it will send an alert that a change has happened.

You then need to watch for this alert to happen and alarm on it. To do this you will goto your Monitor tab in Kaseya. In the main menu under Agent Monitoring select Alerts. In the main window under alerts you will find a drop down selection box called “Select Alert Function“. In this drop down list locate and select “Get Files” then select the AD server you are running the script on and set it to Alarm and email you upon change.

That’s It. It will check your accounts and if a change takes place it then alerts you that a change has happened to which you can investigate. This works great if you need to keep people out of these privileged accounts groups.

Recursive Access Control Lists with Max Depth

Here is a Visual Basics script I put together which will list all of the Access Control Lists (ACL’s) for all folders in a particular directory.

It allows you to specify a start point and a max depth to recurse.

I needed this so that I could generate a report listing the ACLS’s for various shares. It uses the CACLS executable and as long as you have access to the shares it should run without issue. (However, as with anything Microsoft, I make no guarantees that it will function properly on your system). I tried to account for various idiosyncrasies’ in the way windows operates but if you find a bug, let us know and we will try to correct it.

# Blackberry Enterprise Server ( BES ) server services restart script.

This script uploads a bat file “Blackberry_Restart.bat” that stops and restarts the Blackberry Enterprise server services in the correct order they need to be done. It the writes a event log entry to the local application event log on windows and then to the script log in Kaseya. Lastly it sends a email to help desk to let them know it ran. Download the zip file, unzip and import the XML file into Kaseya then upload the bat file to your public side Kaseya.

# Retrieve IE History

Use this script to collect a logged in users IE history. When the boss wants to know what a users been surfing you can run this against the system and have it email all the links the user has gone to.

This script uploads and executes a VB scrpt (iehistory2.vbs) on the remote system that uses NirSoft’s IE History View utility (iehv.exe) to dump IE URL history addresses for all user profiles on the system into a text file (history.txt). The contents of the text file are then captured into a Kaseya variable and emailed to an address or addresses specified in STEP 7. Download the zip file, unzip and import xml file in to scripts on Kaseay server then upload the vb script and iehv.exe to Kaseya public file store. Edit the Kaseya script at line item 7 and place in your email address.

# VMware VCenter Health Check

The script grabs the basic state of things on your VMware ESX VCenter VSphere server and posts an HTML file to the “get file” area in Kaseya KLC. It uses a PowerTools Shell to collect the data and create the file. Download the zip, unzip and import the XML file it scripts. Upload the ps1 file to Kaseya Public folder and then edit script and locate the file in script and save script. This will update the script with the location of where you saved the ps1 file.

#Windows Systems CCleaner Script

This script is a great tool for cleaning of temp files and caches from a users profile on any Windows system. The script looks at the system and determines if it is 64 bit or 32 bit, then it downloads the correct ccleaner.exe file and runs it against the system. In auto mode this script does not clean the registry so it is safe to schedule and run on a regular bases. This works on all 32 and 64 it windows including Windows 2008 R2. A user must be logged in for script to run on users profile.
