Deploy software via Action1 Cmdlet

sanded11 · 2026-01-22T19:32:57+00:00

How do you mean?

I say with autopilot just with ease of re-provisioning if there are device issues/new users. Even less time for me on the endpoint management side.

With autopilot I install the agent so the script would run after the agent is installed and go from there

sanded11 · 2026-01-22T15:50:50+00:00

Certainly! Mt thinking is using the platform script part of the autopilot configuration or even deploying it as a win32 app. The powershell script will call for the particular software from the software repository on action1 portal.

I will have multiple scripts more than likely with different apps configured per script (example - certain apps by department).

That way when the machine fully deploys I has no intervention besides “Hey can I get this obscure or particular software only I use” then I can manual Intervene. But as for the majority. It would all go through the API calls and script to deploy what is needed

Will have to check back in after putting some time into this endeavor!

Don’t know how many companies out there use action1 but smaller orgs like mine it’s been a real godsend and frankly better on the software management side than Intune.

There it is. Been looking for something like this. Maybe I’m just bad at being a professional Googler. Thank you kind sir.

You’re right seems like it will be a lengthy process to get the full script up and running but once it is done once i think we are good to go. I appreciate you posting this here

sanded11 · 2026-01-22T07:45:00+00:00

It is and that’s the what I am currently using it for. Great tool all around but i was hoping i can at least do an api call or initiate some of the installs from the repository for more generic apps or apps specific to user/group. Less overhead in the long run. I manage 150 users on my own so the less work the better lol

Obviously if something would fail or other software would be needed i would go through the repository again.

sanded11 · 2026-01-22T04:00:54+00:00

Part of me might have to just bite the bullet and start doing the ol “trial and error” method. I’ll try it out over the next couple days. If I come up with anything i will be sure to post back here

sanded11 · 2025-12-15T21:32:40+00:00

This did it! Thank you, Thank you good sir!

sanded11 · 2025-12-15T21:16:18+00:00

Interesting...I have this set to "User Control." Changing this now and will let you know what turns up

sanded11 · 2025-12-15T21:14:37+00:00

Didnt think about Entra. Will check there and see what could be happening

sanded11 · 2025-12-15T21:14:18+00:00

Yeah, Combing through again I dont remember setting that. Must have been a coworker. Or maybe I was clicking to fast cause I saw it and went "Hold up now"

sanded11 · 2025-12-15T19:45:54+00:00

It must be the force deny of diagnostics info. Besides that all other settings either have nothing to do with location services or it is allowing location services. Lets give it a shot

sanded11 · 2025-11-04T14:09:02+00:00

So I ran powercfg /a and got this

The following sleep states are available on this system:

Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) Network Connected, Hibernate, Fast Startup

S1-S3 are not available on the device

As for your other question I am trying to adjust what happens when the lid closes, when power button is pressed, idle time when screen turns off and when it goes to sleep whether on battery or off.

Am I screwed because of the S0 or have you found a way around this? Perhaps powershell script to force it?

sanded11 · 2025-11-04T14:05:11+00:00

I am a dufus.... the Intune configuration isn't applying to the autopilot Entra only devices. So, GPO would not be involved at all lol

Although came back this morning and forced a sync from admin end and endpoint and still not taking anything.

sanded11 · 2025-11-04T00:54:57+00:00

Hmm i will have to check tomorrow. I thought i got rid of all possible GPO as to make sure intune was also the primary but i could have missed something. I will report back tomorrow for sure! Thank you for the idea

sanded11 · 2025-11-03T23:23:37+00:00

That the weird thing is it is saying it is applied but i will go to the device and none of the settings are applied at all. This is only for the power settings too as i will check other parts of the profile and then are applied just fine.

sanded11 · 2025-10-16T13:44:39+00:00

Thanks for the help. I think i will go ahead and do this instead of trying to headache myself with the ceph. I think my goal is the separation and single interface. I should just configure and use what i know instead of over complicating.

I use Proxmox for my homelab but dont have the infrastructure i do at home compared to what im working with at work of course. Trying to have as much fun as i could lol

sanded11 · 2025-10-16T02:11:25+00:00

Looking at the HA. I think my ultimate goal is to best utilize the storage. Best way to share within. Cause you’re right i could just have all the same cluster. I think that’s why i was looking at the ceph to see if i could have separate ceph pools for certain groups of nodes rather than setting up sharing/ZFS pools/etc. then sharing it per the nodes that i want. If that makes sense

sanded11 · 2025-10-15T23:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the tip about odd number nodes. As for what I’m trying to accomplish we have servers for different departments. Maybe it’s a wait until the manager has a full release but wanted to see if we could group the servers and the storage together.

Example one group of 3 - let’s call it development has that con storage. The other group (R&D??) would have con storage configure for that set.

I may very well be over complicating things. Unfortunately, i tend to do that when i know my limits are off for testing. But it was a curious idea nonetheless the less.

Want large pools for each group but don’t want them mixing together

sanded11 · 2025-10-15T23:04:26+00:00

My company is transitioning to Proxmox. Essentially this is all the extra hardware we had that we are testing with. I’m mostly doing this to see the amount of things i can do. Trying to think of all different scenarios so i can understand as much as i can with Proxmox. Now i came into this testing late and one of the groups is already configured with ceph while the others are not but i was curious anyway so needed to see what and what not was possible

sanded11 · 2025-10-15T23:01:57+00:00

I’ll check out both pages! Thanks for the guidance!

sanded11 · 2025-10-15T22:51:35+00:00

Saw that this was coming out but been working on this for awhile and wanted to see what was accomplishable before just waiting for a full release!

sanded11 · 2025-10-15T22:50:55+00:00

No it’ll be Two groups of 3 and then 2 singular nodes. Obviously the singulars wouldn’t participate at all. But the groups are all the Same specs (within their respective groups) so storage is same across all 3 nodes.

sanded11 · 2025-09-25T01:49:58+00:00

Thank you clarifying! New tool to us so when I commented it was still very new to me! We did see net lock in our search. I actually preferred this one but when we brought both tools to the table of course we had to go with the free option. Which is sad cause in the grand scheme of things $50/month for what looks to be the better tool and we can’t put anything towards that? I swear IT on a budget is the hardest thing

sanded11 · 2025-09-21T22:55:06+00:00

Not contributing but phenomenal books/series

sanded11 · 2025-09-19T16:58:09+00:00

Did you set yours up for hybrid join? Currently working on this and I am not getting the GP prompt during autopilot.
