  2. I would like to see a selection of "when device becomes online/available" added to the schedule on the IT automation page. There are many times when an oddball device is powered on for a few hours and it isn't powered on during the automation schedule window. There may be another way around this, but running the IT automation task when the device comes online would be a great feature to have.

  3. Working with big amount of machines through webpage is very slowly and uncomfortable. But for now it is the only way to work with automation profiles.

    Could you add an option to work with automation profiles via API?
    To get all names of existing profiles, to get information about some particular profile, to get list of endpoints which are applied to it, to add some new or exclude some of them from particular profile and so on... It would be nice to work with it from PowerShell instead of waiting for loading page with each of these requests.
    Thanks in…

  4. we need the ability to see with a view clicks which computers are missing an automation profile so when installing automation profiles you can't forget that a computer has no profile and therefore doesn't receive the updates and stuff.

  5. We came to Atera from using PDQ Inventory/PDQ Deploy and were admittedly spoiled rotten with how well that solution worked. This is in the scope of what PDQ refers to as "dynamic collections" - and this is something Atera would benefit hugely from, should they choose to go after this. I tried to keep this brief, and failed miserably - my apologies in advance, and gratitude to anyone that reads to the end ;)

    For full context this video does a good job outlining dynamic collections in PDQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVWzNhZHPV4

    Here's the scenario:
    We have ~50 3rd party software titles that…

  6. I have several clients that don't have an AD environment. I am trying to install specialized software not available to the public or that is not on chocolatey. I would like to ask for the ability to create custom software packages with arguments that can be set to install using policies.

    Like assign backup Policy that will install my backup on the box and allow me to manage it with the vendor.

    Policy that will install a package when agent is installed.

  8. Differentiate between Agent that are offline during an update and ones with issues performing the actual update.

    When I go to the report for automation / windows patching I can't tell whether an agent was offline or there was an error with the update process. Please provide more detail in the the automation report so I know what I should be troubleshooting.

  9. Would like to select some but not all servers for patching, and set different time schedules for different servers for the same client which you cannot currently do - it's all or nothing and this does not work for many clients

  10. The patch approval is great, but still, Atera doesn't offer the option to test out the patches. I don't trust the online forums. I'd like to even buy a dummy environment to try the patch before I approve it.

  11. It would be fantastic if, within automations, we could have a checkbox option, for instance, to launch certain scheduled tasks during the next startup if the scheduling couldn't take place due to the agent being offline, as many RMM platforms already offer. Nowadays, with the rise of remote work and mobile workstations, it's even harder to schedule certain tasks at a fixed time.

  15. We would benefit from the ability to install 32 bit versions of software onto machines running a 64 bit OS. Currently this can be done machine by machine via script, but this is tedious.

  17. Allow Linux systems to be added to automation profiles so that we can schedule patching sessions and run other Linux scripts as needed on a mass basis and get a report via email like we do for the windows devices. At the moment we can only run the scripts manually against machine and see the output in recent processes report.

  18. When rebooting a windows machine after patching check if the machine has a bitlocker encrypted boot drive and disable bitlocker encryption.

    Optional (and maybe harder, so maybe don't bother):
    Have an option to set -RebootCount (for how many reboots bitlocker should be disabled) or set it to >1 as some updates reboot multiple times and check after reboot if patching is done and re-enable bitlocker.

    Alternatively:
    Have an option to start a script at the beginning of the patch process so we can do is ourselves with Powershell's Suspend-BitLocker cmdlet.

  20. Software Inventory Report To Show Software Installed and Patched By Atera

    It would be extremely useful to see which software is having the patching managed by Atera and which isn't. an additional column with green ticks for software managed and a warning icon of some description for software that is unmanaged.

    Software unmanaged by Atera's patching for both Windows and Mac would have the option/button to have Atera reinstall the software so that it becomes managed by Atera's patch management process in the future.

    Adding a Select All Unmanaged Software button that selects checkboxes against the appropriate software could allow…
