Executing Custom Scripts

  1. Name the  Configuration

  2. Define Configuration

  3. Define Target

  4. Deploy Configuration


Endpoint Central MSP provides options for configuring almost all the computer configurations from remote. In addition to the configurations that are supported by Endpoint Central MSP, administrators can also write their own scripts that could be run on the machines for accomplishing specific configurations.  The scripts could be any of the following:

  • Batch file (.bat or .cmd)

  • In any other language hosted by Windows Script Host (WSH), such as VB Script, JScript, Perl, REXX, and Python.

Note: The script engines for languages like Perl, REXX, and Python, must be registered with Windows. You can also execute single line commands, add dependent files and enable logging, to analyze the output of the script after execution.
