This was something that was requested in the LabTech Geek Slack. I have put together the basic data structure, it will need to be "prettified" but it's a good starting point with the data, relationships and bands built for you already. Please ensure you manually verify this, it is provided as is and untested. Audit Remote Access - Group [...]
This will bring back computer results that have both Adobe AND VLC installed. The key here is the double AND - if you are going to structure this like that make sure it looks exactly as above or it won't work!
A simple method when these are plaguing your script. It hit me again to day in the form of a script that wasn't doing what I expected, it wasn't until I looked at the output in a multi-line view did I see it was throwing in a return character in the middle of a command. You can fix it [...]
I saw someone post this resolution in the LabTech Geek Slack and thought it was worth posting! This occurs because triggers that are in the SQL database sometimes don't get transferred across, these "trigger" on each add or update of a row and add variables like LTRUNBYUSER. The resolution: -Stop IIS -Stop LabTech Database Agent service -Open SQLYog (from [...]
UPDATE 28th June: New report released to fix changes recently made to views and the template. Please re-download and re-publish. I have seen this requested in numerous places, and ConnectWise asked people to put in a feature request so I just decided to make one and release it. I have modified the current report to include a new section [...]
SELECT searches.*, computers.name, sensorchecks.name AS Test FROM searches LEFT JOIN computers ON computers.computerid = searches.computerid INNER JOIN sensorchecks ON searches.searchid = sensorchecks.sensid WHERE computers.name IS NOT NULL ORDER BY NAME ASC That's how! This SQL query will bring you back a list containing all the groups a computer is a member of, including the SearchID that is joining them [...]
For those who have developed LabTech scripts before, especially complex ones, it's sometimes very difficult to debug scripts or even find the certain name of a variable you are looking for. Sometimes you will know the actual value from a script that you need, but not know the variable name. This is further complicated by all the variables not [...]
This may seem something that sounds a little odd, but when you have the requirement for this it makes perfect sense. This is designed for scripts that don't actually need to be run on an agent. Maybe you want to execute a piece of PowerShell code using a LabTech script, or maybe you want to perform SQL queries against [...]
For a long time now, my LabTech has not been able to run scheduled reports. I've had a support case open since August 2016 for this issue. Independent to this, I've recently setup a LabTech Lab at home, a completely fresh install running LT 11 Patch 9, setup with exactly the same configuration of my live environment. I tested the [...]
As I'm sure people who are working in the MSP/IT Sectors will agree, there are a lot more compliance requirements nowadays. A requirement I have seen a lot in most security standards is a process to review and record software installed/uninstalled on a machine - this report helps with that. The report uses data stored in LabTech to pull out [...]
This has happened to a few people. If you are running the report and it is empty, it's highly likely that your patch calculations are not running daily. There are two ways to get these running: Go into Help > Server Status and click here: Note, if you hover over this it will tell you the last time it [...]
Searching in LabTech (at least in the Legacy search) is a lot easier to do for anything that requires an Exclude, but this option is missing in the advanced search. You can still build the search in the advanced view, it just requires a bit of building work. Start off with a new search, click the and and choose to add group. Click [...]
If you've created a custom view that you are using for the report centre and it is not working on the report, throwing errors like: "Error loading report data" or "Error loading datasource" or maybe any error relating to permissions, then you should make sure that the name of your custom view is prefixed with a v_ otherwise you [...]
Another useful SQL snippet to post today, used to identify machines where commands are stuck executing. This usually is an indication of a problem with the LabTech service on the machine, but could also mean something more underlying is broken on the client. SELECT commands.computerid, v_computers.computer_name, v_computers.client_name, Count(*) AS NumOfCommands FROM commands LEFT JOIN v_computers ON commands.computerid = v_computers.computerid WHERE status = 2 GROUP BY computerid ORDER BY numofcommands DESC
The eventlog table, housed in the back-end database of LabTech is in most cases going to be one of your biggest tables. What most people don't realise is that a lot of the space used in there can often be down to a few machines who have issues that can be logging multiple times a second into the event [...]
This doozy was issued in June following MS16-072. If you've had any user based GPOs just simply stop working in the past 2 months, it is likely that this is the culprit. Before this update, when a machine was processing its group policy, it used the user context to read the GPO on the DC. This update intentionally made [...]
I've been sharing this script with a few of the people on the LabtechGeek slack (if you are not already a member it is a great community and you can sign up here http://bit.ly/2beGZoW) This particular script came about due to a need to upgrade mass amounts of OpenManage on servers at once. The script does a number [...]
I spent a very difficult few days figuring out the Labtech report center about a week ago, with not much documentation or usage cases around with it being relatively new I decided to dive in to see what I could do. I'm going to go through how to do this from scratch so as to hopefully help people trying to [...]
