Metascript Improvements

Fixed a bug where dropdown attributes, e.g. `[Dropdown({@{Option1=1; Option2=2}})]`, were incorrectly stripping the leading and trailing braces `{...}`

powershell

param(
  [Dropdown({@{Option1=1; Option2=2}})]
  $DropdownParam
 )

would not work but the following would

powershell

param(
[Dropdown({@{ Option1=1; Option2=2}
})]$DropdownParam
)

Dynamic Parameters can be declared without `New-ParameterCollection`

powershell

[CmdletBinding()]
param()
dynamicparam
{
    # Before
    New-ParameterCollection @(
        New-Parameter -Name FirstName -Mandatory
        New-Parameter -Name LastName -Mandatory
    )
}
process{}

powershell

[CmdletBinding()]
param()
dynamicparam
{
    # After
    New-Parameter -Name FirstName -Mandatory
    New-Parameter -Name LastName -Mandatory
}
process{}

Introduced `New-DatetimeParameter`

Simple Usage

powershell

[CmdletBinding()]
param()
dynamicparam
{
    New-Parameter -Name FirstName -Mandatory
    New-Parameter -Name LastName -Mandatory
    New-DateTimeParameter -Name StartDate -Mandatory
}
process{}

Advanced Usage

powershell

[CmdletBinding()]
param()
dynamicparam
{
    New-Parameter -Name FirstName -Mandatory
    if($FirstName -like "Darren*"){
        New-HelpText FirstNameWarning -HelpMessage "This guy is a jerk"
    }
    New-Parameter -Name LastName -Mandatory
    New-DateTimeParameter -Name StartDate -Mandatory -ValidateScript {
        if($_ -lt (Get-Date))
        {
            throw "StartDate must be in the future"
        }
        else{
            $true
        }
    }
}
process{}

Throwing from within a ValidateScript block will now correctly associate the message to the parameter in the frontend.

Script Editor

Updated terminal colors for better readability

Fixed an issue where the script editor's search input would not focus after using the shortcut `ctrl+shift+f` or `ctrl+shift+p`

The script editor now has the ability to view previous changes to the script.

Diff Editor UI

Remote Control

In remote control on mobile devices, the virtual keyboard button is now a toggle.
- The virtual keyboard will remain visible until toggled off.
Fixed an issue in remote control for some browsers (e.g. Firefox) that was causing a "Paste" button to constantly pop up.
- This was due to new security restrictions introduced in some browsers.
- These new restrictions prevent automatic background syncing of the clipboard.
- Details about API restrictions can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API#security_considerations
- Chromium-based browsers are (so far) not affected.
Fixed an issue where remote control input would stop working after a file transfer.
Fixed a bug in remote control that would sometimes cause input events to fire incorrectly.

Dynamic Integrations

Added the capability for Dynamic integrations to specify a custom refresh interval for GetAgents job via the new JobSettings attribute over default period of 1 hour. ex: [JobSettings(PeriodMinutes = 5)]
Fixed an issue where Get-ProviderInfo would fail to return Configuration form data for dynamic integrations.

N-Central Integration

Fixed: This integration has recently started experiencing issues. The requested operation requires an element of type 'Object', but the target element has type 'Array'.

Registry Search

On the Registry tab, you can now search for keys, value names, and value data.

Localization and Branding

Added the option to use .NET time formatting strings on Immy emails from the Brandings page

Integrations

Integrations now allow capabilities to be excluded

Improvements

Minor UI padding improvements to computer list
We no longer include the AzureAD module in every metascript's runspace. A script now has to call Import-Module AzureAD if it wants to use Azure AD commands. This reduces our memory footprint from 7MB to 4MB per script invocation.
Improved the load time of the actions tab on the tenant details page
Improved the load time of "This software has been recently used in X actions/deployments" data.

Fixed an issue where Get-ProviderInfo would fail when targeting static integration types.
Get-ProviderInfo now doesn't throw terminating errors for Integration types that don't exist to simplify usage patterns.
Improved error handling and logging for the Send-ImmyEmail cmdlet
Added the ability for Add-UriQueryParameter to remove existing query arguments that match input names to prevent arrays from being formed via OverwriteParameters.

Fixed a bug preventing the maintenance action duration timer from incrementing.

0.64.0

Released 05/08/24

Azure Domain Splitting

Azure customers can now be split into multiple Immy tenants from the Azure Customer Mapper

You can select one or more domains to link to an Immy tenant. Azure users whose UPNs match those domains will then be synced into the domain-linked Immy tenant instead of the default Immy tenant.

Splitting an Azure customer on domain will also automatically set the domain-linked Immy tenant as the "child" of the Azure customer's default Immy tenant, so that deployments targeting the parent can propagate to the domain-linked tenants

Child Tenants

ImmyBot supports sites/location by allowing you to set a parent/child relation between tenants. You can set the parent tenant as a batch action on the tenant list page or from the edit tab on a tenant's details page.

User Affinity Table

User Affinity results are now exposed under Reporting -> User Affinity and on the computer's details page.

Deployment Page Changes

Deployments for software linked to an integration can no longer specify configuration parameters.
For software linked to a provider, the deployment configuration parameters are now inherited from the linked integration.
This helps keep sensitive data like API keys and passwords private by not displaying the information in the deployment configuration parameters and instead storing the information in the integration.

Deployment Migrations

GLOBAL software linked to an integration can now automatically migrate data out of relevant deployments and into a new or existing integration.
All GLOBAL software linked to integrations with the "Production" tag will be migrated.
Added a new App Preference, "Allow Beta Integrations to Migrate Deployments".

Improvements

Any software can now be selected for install/uninstall in "Installation Prerequisites"
Added parent-tenant-assignment batch action to the Tenants list
Added parent-tenant column to the Tenants list
Removed ability to deploy/preview cross-tenant computers on the deployment details page from MSP non-admin users that don't have the "can manage cross tenant deployments" permission
Added an audit log that records when the application starts up
Added an excel export button to the computer inventory scripts report table
Increased the timeout for Expand-ZipFile from 1500 to 3600 seconds
After updating a user, we now invalidate the cache for that user so the changes are propagated immediately
Setting the primary user for a computer now shows up in the audit table. This includes the User Affinity Job and PPKGs that have a primary user set on the installer.
Added Chassis Types to our initial inventory so newly created computers don't have the "Unknown Computer Type" badge
Decreased PowerShell execution time by optimizing module loading UI improvements in line with what's desired by support and most useful to users -Alerts added as seen fit by support to better inform the user submitting a ticket.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue preventing software from being selected in "Installation Prerequisites"
Fixed an issue with the dashboard table headers not loading correctly
Fixed an issue where moving a computer that had an immy agent to another tenant would cause the agent to be deleted if you were to delete the original tenant the computer was assigned to

0.63.1

Released 04/15/24

Computer Registry Tab

We have introduced a new tab on the computer details page that lets you remotely navigate the computer's registry and generate configuration tasks from selected values.

Fixed an issue where a software could incorrectly have a prereq on itself
Fixed a bug where it was possible to encounter a Pipe is broken exception while trying to execute scripts on a machine due to a possibility of the agent attempting to use a Powershell host that has faulted/exited recently before we could detect it.
Fixed a bug that lead to User-context scripts to incorrectly use the System-context Environment variables (such as TEMP, USERPROFILE)
Fixed an issue where the "show more" sidebar dropdown would collapse when selecting the notifications link

0.63.0

Released 04/02/24

Automatic Agent Update Changes

The preference to enable automatic agent upgrades has been added back.

We no longer rely on MSI installers to automatically update the immy agent. Instead, we copy the ephemeral agent binary into "C:\Program Files (x86)\ImmyBot" whenever we detect that the agent binary is on an older version. Logic has been put in place to protect agent installations from breaking due to failed upgrades. Overall, the automatic updates should be more resilient.

Notification Table Improvements

Severity is now the left-most column.
Added icons to the Severity column.
The Created column is now hidden by default.
The column chooser is now visible.

Edit Software: Advanced items with overridden (non-default) values are visible without expanding Advanced
Edit Software: Selecting an Integration hides Version/Dynamic Versions UI to make it more obvious that the expectation is for the Integration to handle this logic.
If a software is linked to an integration type but the deployment is missing the IntegrationId, but only one integration of that type exists, Immy will fall back to using that single integration.
Updated ImmyBot references to immy.bot
Removed deprecated IoT Hub code and dependencies from the latest version of the ImmyBot Agent
Added a help button explaining global vs local on the Software and Tasks pages
Removed progress bar from System context scripts that don't specify PercentComplete. Only the most recent ProgressRecords show status

0.60.0

Released 01-09-24

Automatic ImmyBot Version Upgrades

When a new version of ImmyBot is released, you can now specify if you want to automatically update to that release after a specified amount of time. This behavior is configurable in preferences.

Release Channel

The release channel determines what versions of ImmyBot are available to you. You can now choose which release channel you want to subscribe to.

The available channels are: Alpha, Beta, and General.

Alpha: This channel contains releases that have passed development but may still be unstable. Only use this channel if it's absolutely necessary for a critical fix or to test brand new features and provide feedback.
Beta: This channel is for early adopters and contains releases that are in the final rounds of testing. Use this channel to test new features and provide feedback.
General: This channel contains releases that have been tested and are ready for general use. This is the recommended channel for stability.

All instances will default to the General channel.

You can change your channel on the System Update Page.

ImmyBot is on .NET 8

The ImmyBot backend is now running .NET 8. While this doesn't introduce new features to end users, it does provide better performance and newer development features that benefit ImmyBot.

Cross-Tenant Deployment Change Requests

A new application preference has been introduced that when enabled will require MSP non-admin users to submit change requests when creating or updating cross-tenant deployments.

On a per user basis, you can additionally opt-out of requiring change requests by assigning the user the following capability from the edit user page:

Change requests are submitted from the deployment details page in the same area you would normally create and update a deployment.

Once submitted, the change request can be reviewed in a read-only format. MSP non-admins will have the option to edit the change request, while MSP admins will have the ability to approve or deny the change request.

MSP non-admins see

MSP admins see

All open change requests can be seen from the deployment list page.

0.59.0

Released 12-12-23

Detected Computer Software Export

We added a page to view all computer detected software and a button to export it to a csv file.

You can access this page from /reporting/detected-computer-software. Values from this table are populated from inventory.

OAuth Parameters

Added the ability to create and select auto-refreshing OAuth tokens as script parameters

Added a button to the Azure Partner Settings page to pre-consent customers to the default or custom app registration via the Partner Center API

This removes the need to provide consent for each customer manually using an admin account from the customer

Added an OAuth Token Acquisition mechanism to allow Partner admins to give ImmyBot consent to use the Partner Center API

Automatic ImmyBot Agent Updates (Alpha)

When a computer attempts to run a script and we establish an ephemeral agent connection, we now also upgrade the ImmyBot Agent if it is outdated. This is currently in alpha and can be opted into from the Application Preferences page.

Improvements

You can use the new ScriptTimeout attribute to override the default execution time of 60 seconds in integration scripts (Supports up to 300 seconds)
Integrations supporting ISupportsHttpRequest now display the HttpRequest Uri
Added integration release stage badges to indicate whether an integration is in the Alpha, Beta, or Production stage.
Uninstalling software no longer enforces required parameters specified by the deployment.
[Alpha Opt-In] Write-Progress -Activity "Activity 1" -Status "Migrating" Calling Write-Progress with both Activity and Status parameters creates a new row on the action in the session. This helps visualize the progress of long running tasks.
Added BitLocker Status to the logical disk tab on the computer details page
Added TPM Version to the overview on the computer details page
Added disabled deploy button next to configuration tasks with a tooltip explaining that they cannot be deployed directly. The missing deploy button was causing confusion.

Added AssignmentScope as a script parameter. Possible values are CrossTenant, SingleTenant, and Individual.
When ImmyBot restarts, we no longer cancel sessions due to them being considered "outdated". This was an old piece of code that was there to prevent accidental reboots during business hours. This check is no longer needed since we check for active hours and business hours during the maintenance session when deciding if the computer needs to reboot.
Important - ImmyBot agents that are installed with automatic onboarding will now ALWAYS automatically onboard. Before, we would optionally not perform onboarding if the agent resolved to an existing computer that had previously run at least one maintenance session.
Removed converted parameter values from parameter validation responses since it could possibility contain sensitive data and the value was not being used on the frontend
Invoke-CommandCached and Invoke-AtomicCommand cmdlets are now available for use inside Filter Scripts.

Added a check when creating or updating a deployment that warns you when a duplicate deployment is detected. You have the option to replace the existing deployment or fix the newer one such that it is no longer a duplicate.
Schedules and Adhoc Deployments now apply batching to create the maintenance sessions. We've seen about a 6x improvement in speed in creation.
Debounced script editor changes to prevent Intellisense crashes
You can now save scripts that have syntax errors by acknowledging the confirmation modal. Useful for saving unfinished scripts or scripts that may not actually have syntax errors when run on an endpoint

Released 11-1-23

Notifications

We have updated how our notification system works.

The bell icon in the navbar will provide a number of the unacknowledged notifications you have.

The sidebar will show when clicking this icon.

Notification History

You can access all notifications from the primary sidebar under "Show More" -> "Notifications". By default, it will only show you unacknowledged notifications. You can click the "reset" link or change the filter on the "Acknowledgement" column to view acknowledged notifications.

Silencing notifications

From the notification sidebar, you can silence notifications by the notification type or for the specific object the notification was for.

You can then view all of your silenced notifications from the notification history page.

Notification Types

We have plenty of notification types in the pipeline. Here are the notification types currently implemented.

Integration Unhealthy - a notification to let MSP users know that an integration has become unhealthy
Access Requested - a notification to let MSP users know that someone is requesting access to their instance of ImmyBot
Large Script Output - a notification to let MSP users know that a specific script has outputted a large amount of data. When scripts like this run during maintenance for hundreds of devices, it can easily cause high CPU and memory which leads to sluggish performance and potential crashes.
Unacknowledged Recommended Deployments - a notification to let MSP users know that there are new recommended deployments that need to be allowed or denied.

Some notification types that will be coming soon include, but are not limited to:

Agents Requires Manual Decision - a notification that lets MSP users know there are agents pending identification that could not be automatically resolved to a computer and require manual actions.
ImmyBot Updated - a notification that lets MSP users know that ImmyBot has been updated to a newer version
Cross-Tenant Deployment Requires Approval - a notification that lets MSP admin users know that a cross-tenant deployment was created or modified and needs approval from an MSP Admin. (Feature coming soon)
Azure related notifications

Fixed a bug where undefined would sometimes show up as an error in the global script editor output.
Eliminated 2-step Verify/Create on Integrations
Updated the error message you get when you attempt to create a deployment for software that does not have a version to deploy. "There are no available versions for this software. The software must have a static version, a dynamic version script, or be linked to software from an alternate provider such as Ninite or Chocolatey in order to be installed."
Made New-Parameter -Position nullable and not default to 0 to prevent parameter binding error "Cannot bind positional parameters because no names were given."
The ephemeral agent exe now has the correct version where before it would always have 0.0.1
Moved Remote Control feature to the top of the Preference Page for better visibility
Package Analyzer will fallback to use FileVersion if ProductVersion is missing on EXE installers.
Package Analyzer will now return relative path to installer nested multiple directories inside of a ZIP archive. For example, a package bundled like (MyInstallerPackage.zip) => [MyInstallerPackage] -> [InnerFolder] -> Setup.exe will return InnerFolder\Setup.exe as the FileName instead of Setup.exe
Package Analyzer will now fallback to a list of known-good DNS servers for downloading binary. This should help alleviate issues for a few customers where Azure's default DNS fails to resolve the address. Errors stemming from downloading issues will additionally contain a DNS Audit trail. Package Analyzer download speed has been improved by up to 50%, reducing time waiting for analysis.

Bug Fixes

ImmyBot Remote Control (Remotely) - BETA

Initial support for remote control is here!

The newest version of the ImmyBot Agent will support the ability to establish remote control sessions.

Remote control can be established by clicking the "Open Remote Session" dropdown and then clicking the "ImmyBot Agent" option.

You can also select the initial Windows session within which to start remote control.

Task Deprecation & Supersedence

Old tasks can now be deprecated in favor of newer tasks.

You can deprecate a task by supply a "Superseded By" task on the task form. You can additionally supply a parameter migration script that will migrate the parameters specified by the deprecated deployment to the parameters of the superseding one.

Schedule using the computer's timezone and Active Hours

The schedule details page has been cleaned up and re-organized for easier understanding.

We are introducing two new ways to schedule execution against a computer.

Use the computer's timezone for execution
A common complaint is that it is hard to schedule maintenance for a group of computers that are all in different timezones. Another complaint is that scheduling maintenance against laptops for people who travel is difficult because they are constantly changing timezones.
You now have the option to schedule maintenance at a particular time according to the timezone specified by the computer.
Start execution after active hours if available
For computers that are running Windows 10+, you can opt into using the Active Hours specified by the computer instead of executing at the specified time on the schedule.
For now, if active hours are used, execution will be scheduled in the middle of non-active hours. e.g. If active hours ends at 1pm and starts again at 10pm, we will schedule execution at 5pm.

Active Hours as Business Hours

When active hours are used to schedule maintenance for a computer, checks against business hours will resolve to active hours. This is necessary because we don't want to accidentally reboot the computer when in use, when "Suppress Reboots During Business Hours" is checked on the schedule.

Both "Use computer's timezone for execution", and "Start execution after active hours if available" are available for use on the deployment details page as well.

Pending Ephemeral Agent Session Status

A new session status has been added called Pending Ephemeral Agent Session.

Anytime during a maintenance session, if we fail to establish an ephemeral agent, the session will go into Pending Ephemeral Agent Session. The action it was performing when the failure occurred will not be failed so that it can resume when the ephemeral agent is finally connected. A background service will continually attempt to establish an ephemeral agent on sessions that are marked with this status.

With this change, we were able to remove the Script Execution Circuit Breaker that has not proved to be very useful.

Terminating Exceptions

System scripts will now throw terminating exceptions if we fail to establish an ephemeral agent or an actual terminating exception was thrown in the script.

Metascripts will also now throw terminating exceptions when an ephemeral agent fails to establish when using Invoke-ImmyCommand. You must now explicitly use a try/catch in order to prevent the terminating exception from ending the script.

This behavior will prevent software and tasks from continuing script execution in the event of a terminating exception, which will prevent false-positive results and report better errors.

User Script Terminating Exceptions

When running Invoke-ImmyCommand -Context "User", an additional parameter will be available called TerminateFromNoLoggedOnUser. When set, the script with throw a terminating exception when there is no logged on user. By default, user scripts will not throw a terminating exception when there is no logged on user.

Made pending-connectivity session triggering more robust

Removed some event handling from pending connectivity service since the session finished event is not emitted in all circumstances
Reduced different entrypoints to starting a session to improve consistency and reliability
Added logic to check for and start the first pending connectivity session in the queue when any session finishes (both pass and fail) directly from the Immy Service Job

Session Preflight Scripts

A new script category has been added called "Preflight". Preflight scripts run after an ephemeral agent is established and before we attempt to run any other script against a computer. If the preflight scripts do not return any exceptions, then preflight is consider "passed" and scripts can be executed as normal. Otherwise, if any preflight script fails, script execution will not be allowed against a computer.

The major reason we added preflight scripts was to detect whether a computer is currently applying windows updates. Agents can report online and connected while windows updates are applying. However, it's possible that certain actions will not perform successfully while the computer is applying those updates. If we attempt to start or resume a session while windows updates are applying, we run the risk of rebooting the computer during an update and potentially bricking it.

The first global preflight script that has been added will check if the computer is currently applying windows updates and will throw an exception if it is, preventing script execution on the computer until windows updates are completed.

Pending Preflight Session Status

A new session status has been added called "Pending Preflight". When a preflight script fails during a session, the session will go into "Pending Preflight". The action that was actively being performed when the preflight script failed will not failed so that it can be resumed when the computer passes preflight. A background service will continually attempt to run preflight against a computer until it passes. Once preflight passes, the session will continue.

Built-In ImmyBot Agent Software

Before 0.57.0, we had hardcoded an action to perform the ImmyBot Agent update, which resulted in a lot of failures.

The built-in agent update now utilizes the ImmyBot Agent software located in the global repository.

Before

After

Prepared removal of Azure IotHub for the ImmyBot Agent

The 0.57.0 ImmyBot agent introduces a new method of establishing a connection to the backend using WebSockets.

With this approach, we will be able to remove dependency upon the Azure IoT Hub and provide a more reliable connection to devices.

Other Improvements

Added license icons on computers to indicate which ones are actively being counted towards the license count for the month.
For instances on Immy Standard, we added a checkbox on the computer list page that allows you to filter to only computers that are licensed
Added fallback for tls when using Download-FileToFolder
The .dlls extracted from the ImmyBot Agent and Ephemeral Agent executable are now signed, which should make whitelisting by our certificate in A/V tools easier.
Improved the readability of the billing page
Renamed Get-Hash to Get-KeyedHash as it only supported keyed hashes like HMACMD5, HMACSHA1, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384, and HMACSHA512
Implemented Get-Hash for non-Keyed algorithms like MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512
The "Update agent on device" button under the Agents Tab -> ImmyBot agent is clickable even when the computer is offline. It will put the session in pending connectivity and update when the computer comes back online.
For ImmyBot Agents version 0.57.0 and above, the version is now displayed on the Agents tab.
C:\Program Files (x86)\ImmyBot\Immybot.Agent.exe now contains the correct file version

Software Post Uninstall phase is now only shown when the software or version has a post uninstall script

0.56.1

Released 2023-04-24

Improvements

When an agent is identified to a computer that already exists in ImmyBot, we will now automatically select the "Wiped" option if the computer name and OS install date reported by the agent are different than what is reported by the existing computer.
The ephemeral agent no longer extracts to c:/windows/temp. This alleviates issues around A/V blocking .dlls coming from the temp directory, and also alleviates issues around windows randomly removing required .dlls for the ephemeral agent to run.
Updated the identification log text that explains why a manual decision is required
Added the manufacturer name and serial number of an agent in the agent identification logs when resolving a trusted manufacturer
Added ability to group by target on the deployment list

0.56.0

Released 2023-04-17

Tenant and Person tags

Support has been added for Person and Tenant tags.

A tag no longer has a "type". A tag can be assigned to any person, computer, or tenant.

Deploying a software or maintenance task with a tag target type now resolves computers for the following:

computers that have the tag
computers for tenants that have the tag
primary computers for people who have the tag

Deploying a cloud task can now target tags assigned to tenants, as well as integrations that support client groups.

Now that tags can target tenants, you can create a schedule that targets tags to run a single schedule across multiple tenants.

Tags for tenants can be assigned on the tenant list and tenant details pages.

Tags for persons can be assigned on the person list and person details pages.

ImmyBot Session Support Requests

You can now request support from Immy technicians from maintenance sessions. When requesting support, you can:

Add details about the issue you are experiencing
Select whether an Immy technician should be allowed to access your instance
- If selected, there is no need to approve an access request for the Immy tech to log into your instance
- You can disable Immy technician access at any time from the Application Preferences page
Select whether the session's logs and computer timeline events should be available in the support ticket
- The logs / timeline events are formatted as a text file and stored in your instance's blob storage account, and a link to download this file is added to the support ticket
- You can also download this file before submitting the ticket

Global Script Editor

Below are some of the new features in the script editor!

General VS Code "vibe"
Open/Close multiple scripts(tabs)
Go To Definition support for function scripts
Script Search and Directory Views with result highlighting
Variable preview based on script execution context, category, and a selected target (computer, tenant, task, software).
Parameter Form for scripts with param blocks, selected software that have configuration tasks, and selected maintenance tasks that have parameters
Closing a script tab with unsaved changes alerts you
Function name/definition view that shows the results of Get-Help {functionName} -Detailed | Out-String
Basic hotkey support

You can access the script editor from the top navbar or in the sidebar under Library -> Script Editor

Parameter Value View

Sometimes deployment parameters result in an exception when performing the binding. This can happens when the parameter types have been updated but the values have not.

You can now toggle the parameter form to a value view that provides you the ability to remove/reset values that may be causing issues.

Tenant Software

The Tenant Details Page now has a Software tab that displays a grid of software that was detected on endpoint machines and could be matched to software in the global database. The result set is grouped by global software name/ID and sorted descending by total installs (i.e. number of devices that have it installed). Each group has a Deploy button, which will open a new deployment for the software that targets all computers under that tenant.

Other Improvements

On the Deployment List Page, tenants with missing or deleted tenants will show Tenant no-longer exists under tenant column and the entire row will be highlighted red.
The current ImmyBot agent version is now shown on the frontend in the installer modal and in the sidebar's ImmyBot Agent Download box.
Added the ImmyBot version in a session log at the start of a session. This will be useful when debugging session-related issues since we can correlate the problems to the version ImmyBot was on when the session ran.
You can now install the ImmyBot Script Editor as a progressive web app.
Cleaned up some of the error messages returned by integrations
Fixed issues with tag deployments not getting applied during an onboarding session
System scripts that use param blocks will now through an error letting users known that param blocks are only available in metascript and cloudscript contexts.

Added a check for whether the computer is online before attempting to apply windows patches
Get-Hash now supports HMACMD5, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384, and HMACSHA512
Added back session list "Completed" count and filter and removed "All"
Added internal auditing tables for scripts, software, tasks, and deployments. The future plan is to expose an audit trail for these objects so you can see who made changes and when they were made, with the ability to revert changes.
Moved the tenant tag selector to the edit tab. The tags now show inline next to the tenant's name
Made session log database handler more efficient by breaking large updates into smaller queries
Reduced likelihood of CW Control Integration failing to sync devices.
The deployment page no longer hangs when attempting to preview/deploy to a large number of computers
Improved Package Analyzer to handle improper/malformed content-disposition header returned from some file servers, which resulted in a failure to analyze a package.
Expired users can now be un-expired from the edit user form
Wait-ImmyComputer (and therefor Restart-ComputerAndWait) has been improved with a new RebootWithPollingFallback option that should help alleviate issues with ImmyBot not detecting when a machine has been rebooted and now back online. This option will periodically poll providers/integrations about machine connectivity status if they haven't reported target machine as online after an expected WaitForEventTimeout period.
You can now define multiple functions in a Module script and import them into other scripts using Import-Module
Maintenance task get/test can now create child actions during detection using the new cmdlet Add-ImmyMaintenanceActionChild

Fixed an issue where executing quick deployments against computers needing onboarding would incorrectly trigger the onboarding stage
Fixed an issue with the onboarding form's assignment links not bringing users to the specified assignment
Fixed an issue where reboots were occurring during business hours than spanned over to the following day. e.g 9am - 4am
Fixed an issue where the Primary User task was running after Set Computer Name and Domain Join. This was causing computers to not get the correct name when the computer is named after the primary user.
Fixed a long-standing issue where Immy PPKGs wouldn't reliably disable sleep/hibernation when the option was checked on some computers. This has been improved.

0.55.11

Stale Computers

A new "Stale" tab has been added to the Computers List page showing devices that have not had a recent agent connection event. By default, the staleness threshold is 30 days. This value can be configured from the System Preferences page.

This feature can be used to cleanup old computers when you are coming close to the maximum limit for computers.

Dynamic Maintenance Task Parameters (PowerShell Param Blocks)

Maintenance task parameters can now be defined dynamically using a script's param() and dynamicparam{} block.

PowerShell has a robust parameter definition and validation engine. By leveraging it, we give ourselves features like:

Parameter Sets
Regex Validation
Conditional/Dynamic Parameters
Dynamic Values
Type enforcement

When deploying Onboarding tasks, you can define which parameters should be visible to the technician, while hiding others or setting their defaults in the Deployment.

GDAP Support

"GDAP Customer Syncing" option has been added to the Azure settings page. Enabling this option does the following:

Adds the DelegatedAdminRelationship.Read.All permission to ImmyBot's default app registration, to allow retrieval of your GDAP customers
Enables ImmyBot to offer a consent link for each GDAP customer to be synced by ImmyBot

Please see the GDAP Customer Syncing documentation for usage details.

Important! If you are using a custom app registration (also known as the CSP App Registration), your app registration must have a Web redirect URI of https://<your-domain>.immy.bot/consent-callback, replacing <your-domain> appropriately. Please see the updated custom app registration docs for details on how to add the redirect URI

Other Improvements

Onboarding only maintenance tasks now have an option to "Ignore during automatic onboarding". This is useful if you have an installer set to automatically onboard the computer and the task requires data that wasn't able to be provided.
Improved code around establishing Ephemeral Agent connection & eliminated possible race condition.
Prepend an "[ImmyBot User]" tag for the username that displays for remote session started from a supported provider. This makes it clear at a glance who is connected to a machine initiated from an ImmyBot user.
Removed the need for executing suspicious-looking encoded powershell for N-Central integration which would trigger some AV alerts while also moderately decreasing latency to start ephemeral agent.
When the Immy Agent fails to update during a maintenance session, it will now retry up to 3 times in case it failed due to a transient error
You can now assign tags to a computer from its Onboarding form
When we run a script and to establish an ephemeral agent and detect that there are no online agents, we only wait 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes. For integrations like Automate and N-Central and don't support connectivity changed events, a machine would potentially restart so fast the RMM was unaware, therefore we would wait 30 minutes before realizing the machine was actually online.
Removed execute and verify progress bars when action is a task monitor, and changed the "detect" progress text to "monitor".
Added the ability to change a computer's primary user from the overview page.
Improved performance of computer list page when sorting by Date Created
Added -IncludeTags switch parameter to Get-ImmyComputer that includes an array of tags containing the tag id and the tag name
Added a date input to the dashboard page to optionally return actions that were executed on or after the specified date
Added basic health check functionality to all integrations that were missing health checks
Added a test suite for the NCentral integration to run in our build pipeline to help reduce bugs
Made the main scripts table use server-side pagination to decrease the amount of data initially transferred to the page. Global scripts are now showing over 3MB combined.
Added better error messages when we fail to sync users due to permissions issues
