Publishing on-demand scripts for Windows users via App CatalogSolved

Hi everyone. We are trying to find a way to deploy a specific troubleshooting and cache-cleanup script to our Windows 10/11 fleet. Instead of users calling the helpdesk and having an admin push the script manually, we want to empower the end-users to run it themselves whenever they experience system lag.

Is there a way in Hexnode to publish a PowerShell or Batch script to the app catalog or store so users can just click and execute it on-demand? I am looking for a self-service approach for our Windows users but cannot seem to find a way to publish anything other than actual applications. Any advice?

Hello, Thanks for reaching out to Hexnode Connect.

Hexnode does not support publishing scripts as user-triggered items within a self-service app catalog or store.

While Hexnode UEM provides support for running PowerShell and Batch scripts on Windows devices using the Execute Custom Script remote action, this architecture is strictly designed to be admin-initiated. The platform handles scripting as a background automation and remote management tool rather than an interactive self-service feature.

For Windows scripts managed natively through Hexnode, the required workflow is:

  1. An administrator creates or uploads the script to the Hexnode content repository.
  2. The administrator targets the specific Windows device or device group.
  3. The script is executed remotely from the Hexnode console by the admin.

If empowering end-users to trigger this cleanup task is a strict requirement for your deployment, you would need to deploy the script locally to the devices (for example, pushing the executable script file to the public desktop) so users can run it manually outside of Hexnode’s native portal capabilities.

I hope this helps. If you find any more issues or need further assistance feel free to reach out.

Best regards,
George,
