It would be nice to have the tools able to act upon the "collections" that result when you click on "Endpoint protection status - Definitions greater than 7 days" Currently I have to try to craft an actual collection that mirrors the results and then can RIGHT CLICK act upon THAT. Often, it's hard to replicate the results though.

Reviewed: PS Right Click Tools v1.4.1 (Oct 14, 2013)
Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Great tools! The only issues I have are it kind of freezes up when trying to stop a ping and (in response to nabilse) it will not install with the graphical installer. The only way I've been able to get it to install is with the command line installer and /s. Other than that, keep up the good work!

I'm having an issue with the Powershell installer on Win7 64. Simply put, it doesn't do anything when you try to install. The only way I've been able to get the tools to install is with the command line and /S argument. Other than that, I'm very satisfied!

Updated Release: PS Right Click Tools v1.4.1 (Apr 04, 2013)
Bug fix release.
Silent install script now checks the registry for the install location as well as the environment variable. Previously, if you installed the console and hadn't restarted the computer yet, the tools couldn't auto-detect your install location.
All UIs run in STA mode instead of MTA mode now. In testing, this fixed all of the crashes I experienced.
Coming soon - User tools and AD tools!

New Post: Schedule Restart/Shutdown Day/Month being set wrong.
Hi,
I was having an issue with scheduling shutdown or restart tasks.
I was setting the start date of a task as, for example, 1400h on 05/11/2013, but the task was being created with a trigger 1400h 11/05/2013.
I have managed to 'fix' the issue by changing the hardcoded date format from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy within the powershell scripts.
Is there any way of pulling the date format based on the regional setting of the machine, or does it only work hard coded?
Other than that issue, these are a fantastic and useful set of tools.
Thank you.

New Post: Custom WOL port
Many thanks for these tools! Would it be difficult to implement a simple way to define a custom WOL-port? (in the installer for example)

New Post: Custom WOL port
I'm planning on doing that in the next release. You will also be able to switch from subnet directed broadcasts to unicast if your networking doesn't allow subnet directed broadcasts. I'll probably keep the installer simple, but I'll put a configure button in the tool.
No definite release date yet for the new tools, but I'm working hard on them!

New Post: Installer
This would be a great idea. I was just considering it myself. I want to distribute the tools through SCCM silently with the console to all of our analysts :-). Of course, this would be easier and far more "application model" appropriate if it were done under the MSI structure with versioning and what not.
These things are fairly easy to do with admin studio and installshield if it all it does is copy and place certain things in the file structure. We do this with plenty of other applications at the moment.
I don't particularly know the licensing behind wrapping apps in installshield and how they want to charge you for public distribution outside of your network but it could be something to look into.
Is anyone actively working on this at the moment?

New Post: ICMP Blocked at network firewall.
At the State of Iowa our ISO office has required all firewalls block/disallow ICMP request (bidirectional) The issue is when I use the PS RCT's on a workstations that is on the other side of the firewall the reqeust fails due to the ICMP request fails.
Now the chances of our ISO allowing ICMP throught the firewall are slim. How do i modify these very nice tools to not rely on ICMP before they do the action or request.

Created Unassigned: Client Actions not working [6]
I've installed these tools on our 2012 server and they work well. The problem is when they are installed on a Win7 64bit machine with the SCCM Console, the Client Tools do not function. We get an "Error triggering Application Deployment Evalutation Cycle (for example) on <pcnumber>" error. The Right Click tools were installed as Admin and we copied the Extensions to the correct folder after they installed incorrectly. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? It's happening on all of the PCs that we've loaded the tools on.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Created Unassigned: Installation not working / manual copy not working, too. [7]
I've got errors during installation.
Windows scripting host is always alerting: "Error launching powershell script".
Also, wenn I try to copy the scripts manually, they're listet in the configuration manager console, but report the same error when launching.
System is Windows 7 64bit.
Anyone with a clue?
Thanks in advance!

Updated Wiki: Home
9/19/2013 - I didn't get any e-mail notifications saying discussions were taking place, so I'm just now responding to them all! Sorry for that.
9/19 - Updated the installer to work with non-standard installs. It would error out if someone changed the install directory name from AdminConsole to something else.
ConfigMgr 2012 Powershell Right Click Tools
These are Powershell console extensions for ConfigMgr 2012 (or SCCM 2012).
Version 1.4.1 released!
Please let me know if any issues either by e-mail (Ryan2065@gmail.com), the Discussions tab, or my posts at myITforum:http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/community/members/ryan2065/activity/
If you call the batch file with the /s switch, it will do a silent install for those of you who want to deploy this.
1.4.1 - RELEASE NOTES
Bug fix release.
Silent install script now checks the registry for the install location as well as the environment variable. Previously, if you installed the console and hadn't restarted the computer yet, the tools couldn't auto-detect your install location.
All UIs run in STA mode instead of MTA mode now. In testing, this fixed all of the crashes I experienced.
Coming soon - User tools and AD tools!
1.4.0 - RELEASE NOTES
Deployment Tools - Most of the Collection Tools are now also Deployment Tools. You can choose which status messages to run the tools on, instead of running them on the whole deployment. Deployment Types Supported are Package, Task Sequence, Application and
Software Update.
All tools run off the FQDN of a computer instead of the computer name
New tools:
Add / Remove Tools (Device, Collection, Deployment)
Schedule Restart / Shutdown (Device, Collection, Deployment)
Cancel Pending Restart / Shutdown (Device, Collection, Deployment)
Repair Client (Device, Collection, Deployment)
Rerun Deployment (Device, Deployment)
Add Devices to Collection (Collection)
System Information (Collection, Deployment)
Tool Changes:
Clear Cache now removes cache entries from WMI and then manually removes folders instead of copying a VBS file to the remote computer and executing it to run a control panel function. In the future I'll add the ability to just remove one or two items instead
of clearing the whole cache.
Ping Device now pops up a form that constantly pings the remote computer instead of just sending one ping. You can stop it and close it at any time.
Restart SMS Service now uses powershell commands to restart the service which returns accurate error codes.
Shutdown tools - The "Give user a prompt to cancel" option now copies over a exe file and vbs file to launch the exe. The user will see a windows form pop up with a countdown timer and an option to cancel the pending restart. This also applies for scheduled
restart shutdown. The files are copied to the windows install directory (C:\Windows on most computers) and are not deleted after because the scheduled task needs them there.
System Information - Shows Windows updates and drivers now.
WOL - Collection and Device versions have a huge speed improvement. A hundred packets are sent every few seconds.
Launchers - much more stable and give error messages if they can't launch the powershell file.
Installer - Now a powershell script that lets you change the install path.

In the "Collection - Add Computers.ps1" an error is generated when the "LogBox.text.Length" is less than 250. To work around this I put a simple if statement in there for each occurrence.
Here is the broken statement:
Here is the broken statement:
$LogScrollTo = $LogBox.Text.Length - 250 If ($LogBox.Text -gt 250) {
$LogScrollTo = $LogBox.Text.Length - 250

When in the console under Monitoring > Deployments. Right clicking a deployment and selecting Machine Policy and evaluation Cycle, the statuses box appears showing the different status but when one is selected and you click start the "running on" window will appear and display as finished almost right away and no systems are refreshed. this happens with every other "Client Actions on Deployment" command to.
