How to run a specific file or process on an endpoint using Run Endpoint Script

d.Kim741433 — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 03:13:28 GMT

Hello!:)

I'm looking for a way to run a file or process by identifying it if the endpoint hasn't used a specific file or process at the client's request.

I tried the following, but it didn't work well.
1) Run calc.exe using Powershell
2) Create a local administrator account and add calc.exe execution to Task Scheduler with the created administrator account

I've looked at the material, I've seen examples of finding or removing something, but I haven't seen examples of running it.

Is there any other way?

Hi d.Kim741433
Im not sure if I understood you.
Specifically I cant understand what you mean here:
"to run a file or process by identifying it if the endpoint hasn't used a specific file or process at the client's request"

And on top of that, are you trying to run a script using API call ? or using script execution in the action center ?

I dont understand your use case

KR,

Luis

I conducted a test with Action Center's Run Endpoint Scripts function
