HiI wish to activate/deactivate windows update service with script on Windows modern device's. It works fine to start or stop the update service sending the command "net start wuauserv" with PowerShell Native script.But it does not work to send "sc config wuauserv start=disable" to completely disable windows update. I can disable/enable windows update if I open a dos prompt on the device and type "sc config wuauserv start=disable" but i would like to send this command as a script in SOTI.Is this possible?
Hello, I would like do testing on windows modern testing for our laptops since we have had issues with the windows classic agent sometimes dying on us and we can't connect to user's laptops. Is there more documentation on setting up this up in the most secure way possible. Would our DC need to be put behind a firewall to allow LDAP connections for allowed users? Is there another LDAP service we can use?
Hi, I cant solve this can anyone help? I am running SOTI to manage a Windows 10 terminal. I have the device locked using the Lockdown option as I need the end users to navigate to just a couple of specific URL's. This works fine until I open the item on the kiosk home screen and it wont load correctly. (See screen shots below) I have narrowed this down to it opening the URL with the default browser which is not correctly loading the website. How do I force the URL to be opened in a modern browser such as edge or chrome? To confirm the website is active a we have no errors or issues connection outside of the SOTI kiosk / Lockdown config.

How do you enroll Windows 11 Home in MobiControl, because I checked the Windows Classic rules, there is no option for Windows 11 Home?
Currently, a customer of ours is looking for tools for web filtering that record user activity, such as the operation log of what website the user opens, what application, and so on. They want SOTI dashboard which can contains information on a list of categories such as : 1. users with the most certain web accesses2. users with the most access to certain applications3. export files (excel/csv) contain list number 1 and 2 for reporting purpose Is it possible to do it from SOTI ? Or anyone has succesfully integrated SOTI with some 3rd app application that can fulfill the requirement? Thanks
I am trying to upgrade an existing instance of MobiControl running version 13.4.0.4449 to the latest 15.6 version. During the installation process I got a catastrophic error message during the installation and had to do a manual restore to get the services back up. I'm including the portion of the logs that detail the error. I can't find anything on getting past this. I ran the upgrade under and a domain admin account and used the sa account against the sql database which is SQL Express 2016 running the latest CU.

I have critical application updates that depend on a config setting stored in an xml file. The vendor generated xml file doesn't always store the needed field on the same line, and I am constantly having to create new custom data queries to avoid deploying to the wrong workstations.
Is there a way to unenroll a Modern device from the MobiControl console?
I would like to create a package for Windows Modern devices that will send some files over and then run a PowerShell .ps1 script. Is this possible? Is this the proper way to call a batch file using a script delivered via a package? c:\basys\Retread.Mfg.Client.Windows_1.37.4.0_Test\ActiveSetupConfiguration.bat It does not run on the target device
I have some scripts I want to send out to a department of laptops to help configure a new VPN we'll be using. The first script enables Split Tunneling and the other adds and app trigger for mstsc.exe. Because of how busy the members of this department often are, I'd like to leverage MC to send these scripts to each laptop for me. However, even after adding a snippet to the beginning that should self-elevate the scripts if (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) { $arguments = "& '" +$myinvocation.mycommand.definition + "'" Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs -ArgumentList $arguments Break } however, the logs always result in the error that the new VPN connection name cannot be found. Digging into the error, it seems most likely that this is due to the script not actually running as elevated. Has anyone successfully sent and executed a self-elevating Powershell script through Mobicontrol?
Hi all, Is there any feature on Windows & MacOS to alert user once there is hardware dismantle? Tried to explore it on Rule, unfortunately didn't find any alert that meet that requirement. Thanks, Randy
Hi, does anyone have an idea why the update history is so different on the computer versus shown in MC console? Actually console shows two more updates that are not shown on the computer and the majority is not listed. WNS is not configured btw. But should update the information anyway i guess? Just needs a reboot or few hours. The PC was left as it is for days before taking the screenshots.
