Released 2022-11-14
- Fixed an issue with CW Control syncs causing CW Control agents to re-sync into ImmyBot unnecessarily
Released 2022-11-11
We added support for the breaking changes introduced in CW Control 22.9. We addressed stability issues with Control crashing due to the ImmyBot extension. On the Control integration form, make sure you check off the new options for using the Service Bus for better performance.
Agent identification now has logging to help you find root causes for why some agents fail to have scripts run against them. View them in Computers -> Pending Identification -> Show Identification Logs
You can also see the identification logs for successfully identified agents under the Computer -> Agents tab.
We now utilize the serial numbers for devices that come from trusted manufacturers (currently Lenovo, Dell, and HP). If a computer already exists in ImmyBot for a trusted manufacturer, any additional agents with that computer's serial number will skip identification and automatically be associated.
- Fixed issue where Intellisense would throw null reference exception when completing variables
- Updated CW Control integration to support CW Control 22.9 (extension version 0.3.0)
- Added immy subscription information to billing details page
- Made subscription portal show within immy frontend instead of a link to chargebee
- Updated the default combined maintenance task script to leverage the latest function scripts in Immy. The new script is
Get-WindowsRegistryValue -Path "HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\MySoftwareVendor\MySoftware" -Name EnableFeature | Registry-ShouldBe -Value 1 - License files are now downloaded before running a configuration task's test script during detection in case the script relies on the presence of the license file
- Added a new tenant preference "Exclude from Cross-Tenant Deployments and Schedules". When a tenant is excluded, all cross-tenant deployments and schedules targeting the tenant or its computers will not be applied when full maintenance is ran. This is particularly useful for Co-Managed IT situations that don't don't want your cross-tenant schedules or deployments.
- Improved startup time of instances in situations where there was a large number of recently added agents
- Added "Change Tenant" in batch actions for the computers table
Released 2022-11-09

Get-ImmyComputer -InventoryKeysmetascript was not auto populating the available keys - Fixed an issue with incorrect breadcrumbs sometimes showing on the computer list page
- Added a missing debug log that indicates when an ImmyBot agent fails to provide inventory data
- Fixed a bug where we were dropping both dedupe markers over the same agent instead of different agents
- Fixed an issue with maintenance sessions reporting failed after re-running an action successfully
- Fixed an issue where loading the deployments list would throw a
ArgumentNullException - Fixed an issue with some Chocolatey and Ninite logs not showing up under a maintenance action's phases
Released 2022-10-05
- Fixed an issue with displaying large software icon sizes on the Library -> Ordering page
Released 2022-10-05
- SVGs now render correctly when uploaded as software icons
- Increased some low timeout values on the ephemeral agent that were causing devices with slow network connections to fail
- Changed the Pending Identification tab to default sort descending by Date Added since the most recent machines are the ones we are usually looking for.
- Fixed an issue with the ImmyBot Agent connected/disconnected events not propagating for pc reboots and pending connectivity sessions
- Reduced likelyhood of
Output CircularBuffer has already over-run requested indexerror in scripts - Ephemeral Agent reconnection is now prevented upon receiving a 500 status code. This was previously causing agents to stay running indefinitely.
- Fixed an issue on the system update page where the new releases dropdown was not stretching the width like the current release dropdown
Released 2022-9-22
- The "Suppress Reboots During Business Hours" flag no longer relies on offline behavior. If you are suppressing reboots during business hours and you run a session during business hours, then Immy will suppress reboots. Business hours are now checked on every script execution, and the
RebootPreferencevariable passed to scripts will also be updated toSuppressif it was not already set. We did this so that scripts that handle reboots can safely rely on this variable. - The customer list on the Azure page no longer shows the MSP tenant as a selectable option in the Linked Tenant dropdown since the MSP tenant is mapped by default
- Refactored how we handle ImmyBot agent connected and disconnected events. Instances that heavily utilize the ImmyBot agent will have significantly improved performance.
- The
Enable Automatic Onboardingfield on the PPKG form is now disabled and shows an alert if the onboarding preference is globally disabled or disabled for the selected tenant.
- Fixed an issue with loading the AzureAD module for metascripts. This issue was causing all scripts that relied on AzureAD commands to fail.
- Fixed an issue where syncing the connected state of large numbers of ImmyBot agents would prevent other system jobs from being performed
- Fixed an issue where configuration tasks for already compliant software were executing at the very end of a maintenance session instead of in the expected order
- Fixed an issue where the default upgrade strategy was set to none instead of install over
- Fixed a permission issue where non-admins could not refresh the connectivity status of a computer
- Fixed an issue with downloading the ImmyAgent installer as an
.isofile where the extension was incorrectly set to.ppkg - Fixed an issue where software set to perform an update would incorrectly report compliant when the software did not specify an upgrade strategy and the upgrade was never performed. The action will now fail and report "Upgrade failed: No Upgrade Strategy specified on the software."
- Fixed an issue with maintenance action execution ordering. If the currently executing action has dependencies, it will now immediately execute the dependencies instead of waiting until the end of the session.
- Fixed an issue with selecting a license on the deployment details page where the selected license was not shown upon refreshing
Released 2022-09-14
- Increased the timeout of the Ephemeral Agent's Ping RPC method from 1 second to 5 seconds. 1 second was too short and was unnecessarily causing scripts to fail on machines with high network latency.
- Added a warning message whenever the Ephemeral Agent's Ping RPC method takes over 1 second to respond to help identify machines with high network latency
- Fixed an issue with schedules where updating a schedule from a single tenant to cross tenant would delete the schedule. This was happening due to a bug in a database constraint between schedules and tenants.
- Fixed an issue where the connectivity status button on the computer details page was not actually refreshing the agent's connectivity status
- Fixed an issue where repairing a software would trigger full maintenance
Released 2022-09-12
- Added
Set-ImmyDeviceIdcmdlet to be used during Inventory to keep the UUID of the machine up to date and prevent new computers from getting created when the UUID of the machine has changed due to a feature update.
- Fixed an issue where the "Determine Desired Version" phase was running before the "Detect Installed Version" phase. "Detect Installed Version" needs to run first so we can pass the detected version to scripts that may rely on it when determining the desired version.
- Fixed an issue where dynamic versions were not properly installing dependent versions
Released 2022-09-09
- Fixed an issue from 0.53.4 where some code changes were unintentionally included in the release which caused downloading the PPKG to fail
Released 2022-09-08
- For maintenance task test scripts, we made Immy tolerant of non-Boolean values by displaying a warning when non-Booleans are found on the pipeline along with helper text for preventing output pollution.
- Updated the ImmyBot Agent to support installing beta versions
- Fixed a scripting error that caused Immy to indicate there was no output when there was definitely output
Released 2022-08-30
We now execute the software test script during the detection stage for software that have updates available.
Before, if a software needed to be upgraded, we would not run the software's test script in detection. We would perform the upgrade and then run the test script afterwards. However, if the test failed, the action would fail without any remediation.
Now, if a software needs to be upgraded, and it has a test script, the test script will run in detection. If the test script fails, then the repair strategy will be performed instead of the upgrade strategy. The test script will still be run after the upgrade as it did before.
- Updated the error text for schedule cron expressions to indicate that a schedule can run at most once per day.
- The ImmyBot Agent service sometimes throws an exception about a missing file
CliWrap.dll, which causes the agent to bork. When we encounter this exception, we now auto restart the service to resolve the issue. - Improved the session log message "Detection stage failed: Software Action Id is not specified on the provided configuration task action" to include more information to help diagnose the issue. It is usually because the deployment contains out-of-date data and needs to be updated.
- Improved the performance of loading the main computer list when sorting by computer name
- Test methods containing multiple outputs now return the result of ANDing those outputs together to compute the overall result.
- Updated Quick Deploy to allow you to choose a desired state. e.g. "Install, Uninstall, Update If Found, Ignore" or "Enforce, Monitor, Audit"
- Added detection of stuck/non-responsive jobs such as the agent identification job, which can initiate a self-restart of backend.
- Added reboot preference dropdown to quick deploy and override forms
- Moved several action columns on tables to the left side for consistency and best compatibility with mobile views.
- Added an option to schedules and adhoc-deplyoments to send detection emails even when all actions are compliant. This is to allow users whose computers are already up to date to still receive a maintenance email.
- Updated the script list page and session log component to use the Monaco script editor
- Added the CW Automate icon to the main computer list. Clicking the icon opens up the computer in CW Automate.
- Added "Date Added" to the computer list and made it sortable
- Added a simple "new" tag on the computer list for computers that have been added to ImmyBot within the last 24 hours
- Added an 'X' button to easily remove linked tenants from integrations
- After a task is created, the
Runs Againstproperty is now disabled. Changing this value after it is created can cause issues for deployments that are referencing it. - Fixed an issue with Ephemeral Agent resilient script output logic that would fail to re-connect if the script had never had any output prior to connection loss. (Ex. SonicWall VPN installer script)
- Added missing triggered by text on the session details page when the session was triggered by a schedule or automatic onboarding
- Fixed a width issue on some dropdown buttons

- Fixed an issue where monitor results were only showing the last line of output instead of all output
- Fixed an issue where monitor results were overflowing into other components
- Fixed an issue where re-running actions while showing action details would not displaying logs as they came in
- Fixed an issue introduced for instances that signed up after the release of 0.53.0 where identification would fail due to some missing database configurations
Released 2022-08-18
- Added a
Trigger Nowbutton to the Azure User Sync preference on the preferences page - Added a description to the PPKG reset windows checkbox - "Will perform a reset of windows with the remove user data option"
- Fixed an issue with agent identification where users were seeing the following error -
Failed attempt to differentiate existing agent and pending agent: 42883: procedure sp_create_computer_from_agent(integer, uuid, boolean, text, text, text, unknown, boolean) does not exist POSITION: 6 - Updated the alert of the person list page to match the available actions

- Set the default software installer type to "Installer File"
- Updated the example New-DynamicVersion script
- We now show a confirmation modal when choosing the "Wiped" option for resolving an agent identification conflict.
- You can now see Cloud Sessions from the main Sessions list!
- Added warnings when the ephemeral agent is failing to establish a connection to help users identify causes for failing script execution
- Fixed an issue with the detection stage stuck running when it fails to execute scripts in the beginning of the stage
- Improved timeline connected/disconnected events. There were edge cases that would show multiple connects/disconnects back to back.
- Removed timeline computer online/offline events to avoid confusion. These events were never actually based on a computer coming online or going offline. We simply emitted "online" when an agent connected and happened to be the only online agent. Similarly for "offline" events, we only emitted the event when an agent disconnected and all agents were offline. ImmyBot does not actively check whether a machine is online or offline. It only checks whether it has any connected agents to use. This concept will be further improved upon to help resolve issues with agents incorrectly reporting connected/disconnected.
- Removed link to software/task on deployment list since people are clicking it thinking it is the edit deployment link
- Moved the software/task selector back above the target selector on the deployment edit page
- Removed the media nav item since it's not actually useful

- Fixed an issue with CW Control and CW Automate health error messages excluding important details that can help diagnose the problem
- Fixed an issue where we were not checking if a configuration task is actually marked as a configuration task. This resulted in tasks getting run when they should not have.
Released 2022-06-13
- Fixed an issue with exceptions that may occur inside the N-Central device-sync job causing memory to bloat
- You can now get registration tokens from the NCentral integration via new PSCmdlet
Get-NCentralRegistrationToken
- Under "Preferences", the description of the User Affinity Sync feature says it will run every 4 hours; this is incorrect. Verbiage was changed to indicate it will run every 24 hours.
- On the integration details page, a confirmation modal has been added when clicking the "Bulk create tenants..." button to prepare users that this will cause code execution for linked clients.
- Added more improvements to online/offline agent handling during maintenance sessions
- Updated the online/offline event receiver for CW Control to return immediately in an effort to close requests faster
Released 2022-05-31

- Immy live chat now supports screenshare! Immy support can now request access to view your screen to help resolve issues faster.
- Fixed an issue with the maintenance email actions requiring authentication
Released 2022-05-27
- ImmyAgents no longer need to see a valid board serial number in order to complete registration or rekey. Instead, ImmyAgent may fall back on and rely on an 'ImmyHWID' (Immy hardware id), when a board serial is not available. ImmyHWIDs are derived from CPU, BIOS, MOBO, GPU, and TPM information where available.
- Updated maintenance sessions to listen on agent connected/disconnected events instead of computer online/offline events which have faster responses and higher success rates
- When a new agent comes into ImmyBot, we now kick off the identification job immediately if it isn't already running in an effort to speed up identification
- Added session logs for dependencies indicating what they are for. e.g.
Software A depends on Software B → If not installed then install. - The actions in the maintenance email (Reboot Now, Update Now, and Postpone), now link to a form on the ImmyBot instance instead of linking directly to the backend api. The reason for this is because some spam filters will automatically follow links in an email, which has accidentally caused computer reboots. Moving the link to a form allows spam filters to no longer be able to trigger the action automatically.
- Fixed an issue causing the computer details page to sometimes not load
- Fixed an issue with the ImmyAgent rekey request not being received
- Fixed an issue where
Get-ImmyComputerwas incorrectly reporting offline - Fixed an issue where configuration file parameters were not being downloaded when the configuration task did not have any enabled scripts
- Fixed an issue with displaying the dependency badges on maintenance actions
- Fixed an issue with the schedule's day of week selector cutting off the last characters of "Wednesday"
- Fixed an issue with the CompareTo-ImmyBotVersion metascript

- Bump Azure IoTHub packages to resolve some connection issues with the ImmyAgent
Released 2022-05-25

- Added computer batch actions button on the tenants -> tenant details -> computers tab
- You can no longer create a schedule that executes within one hour of detection. This is a safety measure to help prevent reboots during business hours
- Added a checked to the schedules page for "Execute maintenance immediately after detection" to make it easier for those that do actually want to run execution after detection. When checked, you cannot set the execution time.

Released 2022-05-18
You can now add tags to computers, and deploy software to tags! Manage tags under the settings link on the sidebar. Tags help in scenarios where workstations are shared by a variety of users and there is otherwise not a common property to target with a filter script.
Tags can be added to computers as a batch action on the computer list page.
Tags can also be added to a computer on the details page.
Tags can be deployed as a cross-tenant target scope.
Tags can also be deployed as a single-tenant target scope.
Tags can be added to an ImmyBot installer to automatically set tags for new computers
You can now specify that a computer be excluded from maintenance. Excluded computers will not be allowed to run any type of maintenance session.
Settings -> Preferences -> Company Preferences -> Computers Excluded From Maintenance
or
Tenants -> Select a tenant -> Preferences tab -> Computers Excluded From Maintenance
Added in 0.51.5
We added LiveChat to Immy to make it easier for you to get support
Before executing a script on a device, we now check if it is online. If it is not online, we verify whether any of its agents are incorrectly reporting online and refresh the status appropriately. If it is still not online, we will wait up to 30 minutes for it come back online. If it is still not online, then we will mark the session as Pending Connectivity (only for Apply On Connect) or cancel the session due to the computer being offline.

A maintenance task now has the option to "Execute Serially".
When checked, this maintenance task is guaranteed to only have one instance active at a time.
e.g. If three maintenance sessions have an action for a maintenance task that executes serially, then one session will execute the maintenance task while the other two wait for it to complete. Once the first completes, the second will execute. Once the second completes, the third will execute.
This is useful for maintenance tasks that rely on the state of subsequent executions.

Released 2022-01-11
In this release, codenamed "Cheetah" we achieved a 20x improvement in script execution performance through the use of WebSockets, Named Pipes, and removing code that is no longer necessary since the introduction of the Ephemeral Agent.
We also made restarting machines faster by using the new event driven Wait-ImmyComputer cmdlet when waiting for computers to reconnect after a reboot.
Computers that are offline never receive maintenance. These computers need a way to update when they miss their maintenance window.
You can now specify the offline behavior for computers on schedules and ad-hoc deployments.
When offline behavior is set to Apply On Connect, a session will get marked as when the device is offline. When the device comes online, the session will resume.
Since devices can come online at anytime, the option to Suppress Reboots During Business Hours is checked by default.
If a device is offline before the detection stage, then it will run the detection stage when it comes online.
If a device is offline before the execution stage, then it will only run the execution stage when it comes online. It will not re-run detection.
Maintenance emails are only sent out once regardless if the device goes offline.
On the computer details overview tab, there is now a section called Timeline that shows particular events that have occurred for the computer.
The events we are currently showing are:
- Agent disconnected
- Agent connected
- Maintenance action started (only shows if the action required execution)
- Maintenance action completed (only shows if the action required execution)
More events will be added in the future.
- Improved performance of determining desired state of deployments during maintenance
- Improved performance of some update queries
- Added a new metascript cmdlet
