Nagios Core 4.3.4
Nsclient 4.3 and up

Asking this again I thought it was working

scriptscheck_windows_updates.ps1 : The module 'scripts' could not be loaded.
For more information, run 'Import-Module scripts'.
At line:1 char:1
+ scripts\check_windows_updates.ps1 $ARG1$ $ARG2$; exit $LastExitCode
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (scripts\check_windows_updates.p
s1:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoLoadModule


I have many Machines and they all have the same check only on 5 of them I get the above results.

It shows OK but the results are not valid

Any ideas

Thank you

Tom

Hi, @kwhogster. You need to put the script in the scripts folder.

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts

This is the command:

check-updates = cmd /c echo scripts\check_windows_updates.ps1; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe -command -

Then you need to open a powershell console on the windows server as an admin and execute these two commands:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Set-ExecutionPolicy ByPass

Thank you

Just tested on one server and that works now.

I did have the script in c:\program files\nsclient++\scripts\powershell

But I moved it to the scripts folder and used your command

Will check the others later

Will post results.

Thank you

Tom

Update

Got it working on all but two machines.

1, Windows 7 Pro Laptop when I run the script on the laptop directly it never completes.
2. My windows 10 Pro Desktop the same the script never finishes.

For the time being I removed them from the configs.

Any thoughts?

Ok I got them working now I found this

This is a two step approach you set up a scheduled task to check for updates then it writes a file
The Nagios check reads the file and post the results.

Very nice

Please lock this as resolved
