Using Script Templates

Barracuda RMM includes three script templates that you can use as the basis for creating a custom script:

• PowerShell
• Python
• VBScript

Each template implements the same functionality, demonstrating:

• Param mechanisms, which tell you how to handle the parameter types.
• A command that you can run to determine in which directory the script files are located.
• A script example.

To use a script template

1. In Service Center, click Automation > Library.
2. In the Category column, select Script Templates from the list.
3. Select the check box beside the script template you want to customize.
4. Click Export.
5. Click Save and specify a location.
6. The script is saved as an .mws file. To open the script file, rename the file with a .zip extension.
7. The .zip file contains the script file and an XML file containing the script metadata. Extract the script file and open it in a text editor.
8. Replace the script example portion with your custom script, and save.
9. In Service Center, click Automation > Library > New Script.
