Console Right Click Options (Sharing)

MMosley · October 28, 2019, 4:46pm

Here are a few of the right click options I have created for the Bigfix console plus the default options. For most of them, your PStools folder will need to be in the root of C. (Ignore the name scheme, it was just a quick way to organize them). If you have any others that may be useful feel free to share as well.

This is awesome! This will prove to be very useful for us!! Thanks MMosley!

Rony · May 7, 2020, 4:53pm

This is great work MMosley. I have one question. Many of the properties use “DNS Name”. This doesn’t always work when DNS hasn’t updated or for VPN users. I tried changing to “IP Address” or “Primary IP - Wake CDIR” but neither work.

MMosley · May 7, 2020, 5:18pm

You could also use hostname of current computer for some of these. Which one are you having trouble with specifically?

Rony · May 7, 2020, 5:42pm

Hostname would have the same issue. I only have trouble when DNS is not up to date and why I would prefer to use IP Address. I have this issue with any that use “DNS Name”.

MMosley · May 7, 2020, 5:57pm

Gotcha. Either way it should still work as long as you have the property named IP Address. I just tested a few of them and they seem to work. What error are you recieving? Add a pause to the end of the script to see if it is pulling everything correctly and what the error is.

brolly33 · May 7, 2020, 6:55pm

Are you sure the IP address reported in the IP Address field currently reporting in BigFix will allow you to “reach” the resource? NAT and VPN can both cause issues here as internal/external IP addresses might not be what you expect.

Rony · May 7, 2020, 7:22pm

I am getting the following error: “Not all the selected Computers were able to run the selected action”.

It seems to not like the properties I am using. To answer @brolly33 question, yes I can access the devices just fine if typed manually into an Explorer window. It is not an access issue because the new Explorer window never comes up with an error. The error is generated from the console. Here is the registry details of one I modified.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Console\Settings\ComputerListContextMenuExtensions\Browse Computer IP]
"ComputerApplicabilityRelevance"="((value of property results whose ( name of property of it = \"OS\" ) of current computer) as string as lowercase contains \"win\")"
"MaxComputerSetSize"=dword:00000000
"MenuDisplayName"="&Browse Computer IP"
"ShellCommandRelevance"="\"explorer \\\\\" & (value of property results whose (name of property of it = \"Primary IP - Wake CDIR\" ) of current computer)& \"\\c$\""

MMosley · May 7, 2020, 7:40pm

I do not have the Primary IP - Wake CDIR property, could you share the relevance with me? I changed it to IP address if ( exists true whose (if true then ( exists ip interfaces of network) else false) ) then addresses whose (it as string != "0.0.0.0") of ip interfaces whose (not loopback of it) of network as string else nothing and it worked. I’m thinking it has something to do with your property.

Also make sure you update MaxComputerSetSize to MaxSetSize

Rony · May 7, 2020, 8:02pm

I also tried “IP Address” with the same error. Here is the relevance for “Primary IP - Wake CIDR”. I am going to try a different computer just in case.

addresses of adapters whose (cidr string of it = wake on lan subnet cidr string) of network

MMosley · May 7, 2020, 8:16pm

You will receive the error if bigfix is still reporting more than 1 IP

Rony · May 7, 2020, 8:30pm

I changed the MaxComputerSetSize to MaxSetSize but no difference. I was targetting the “Primary IP - Wake CIDR” because that only includes the IP comunicating with a relay. Neither work even with devices having one IP. Are you saying IP Address worked fine for you?

@brolly33 Yes mulitple times this has been tested. This is why I want this to work so I don’t have to manually type it each time.

MMosley · May 7, 2020, 8:48pm

Yes this works for me.

Rony · May 14, 2020, 3:09pm

I wanted to provide an update. The previous property I was using came from an analyses. I duplicated the property and made a custom property named “Primary IP”. Using this new name in the “ShellCommandRelevance” solved my issue. It still doesn’t make sense why “IP Address” wouldn’t work at all even for devices which had a single entry.
