Remote Boot Alert and Script Configuration in ControlUp

A user asked about tagging devices in ControlUp and having an alert and script run remotely upon booting up. They clarified that this was for ControlUp for Desktop and mentioned using tags and scripts to remove unwanted machines from the environment. Another user asked for more context and suggested checking if the alert was fired and showed in Events. The user planned to test and shared a screenshot of the script settings.

Hi All,

I need to be able to tag a device and have an alert + a script run remotely when the machine is booted up.

What is the correct way to set this up?

Hi Chris, is this for CU for Desktopa or CU for VDI?

Hi, for Desktop

Are you trying to tag a device on boot up, then run a script? Or tag a device and then run a script at any time?

@member when you say remotely when the machine is booted up how quickly at bootup do you need, as the device will need to be communication and showing as online in the DEX portal and then the alert would have to trigger. Could you give us more context to your need and what the use case is?

@member @member So I’ve already put a tag on a device, "remove"

I would like for a script that I’ve put into CU to run on any device with that tag once it’s online and checked into the DEX

Ideally, once the device is showing as online in the DEX, the script will uninstall CU silently and I would like an alert to tell us when the process is complete.

This is for us to remove machines that are not supposed to be in our environment

do u see the alert was fired and showing in the Events area? can u share the config u have in the alert

I assume here I can just add the script I want to be run?

I included a SS of the script settings – I need to make sure this does not trigger on every device in out company
