Script to turn Bluetooth on/off on Windows devices
Toggling a device’s Bluetooth Settings will require the user to modify it through the system settings. As a system admin, if you need to change the Bluetooth state of multiple devices, it can prove to be an arduous task. In such situations, the Execute Custom Script action is here to help.

The sample script provided below is adapted from third-party open-source sites.

Pass the arguments ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ while running this script to enable or disable Bluetooth on devices.
Notes:
- The argument is not case-sensitive.
- A delay of a few minutes can be expected while executing the script to turn Bluetooth on/off since it involves restarting the Bluetooth daemon.
- It is recommended to manually validate the script execution on a system before executing the action in bulk.
- Hexnode will not be responsible for any damage/loss to the system on the behavior of the script.
