Custom Action Variables

[adamtreier]

Can you pull variables from different fields from the sql tables to use in the custom actions?

example: to ping a computer the command is "cmd.exe /K "ping.exe {computer}"

I want to ping the fully qualified name... can you use the DNSHostname from the ADComputers table?

Will be nice to see a {mac} variable with a striped colons for a wol.exe for using on outside of LAN, with a psexec.

Available parameters are listed when you hit the Add Asset Action button under Configuration/Website Management/Asset Pages.

Page 39 of the LANSweeper 5.0 documentation does not appear to contain a list of the custom actions variables. Can you tell me where I might find it?

This is only possible is you program a custom vbscript that queries the remote registry or gets the value from the database.

So is there no way to use a custom scanned registry value in a custom action?

For example:

I'm using a 3rd party remote control tool that gives each client a custom ID number and stores it in the registry. I have added this scan option so that the info is in the database, now I just need to know how to pass that ID number into my custom action.

Thank you sir,

Is there a list anywhere of the variables we can use in the custom actions?

You can use the variable {fqdn}
