Custom sensor/script for pending restart after update

Hello all,

I need a script to monitor a pending reboot after a windows update on my systems.

Until now I have a pure Powershell script but this is not yet adapted to PRTG. The inputs and outputs do not fit yet.

I have very little knowledge about scripting.

Can someone please help me here.

Script:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

[CmdletBinding()]

[string[]]$ComputerName=$args[0]

param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string[]]$ComputerName,

[Parameter()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [pscredential]$Credential )

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

$scriptBlock = {

$VerbosePreference = $using:VerbosePreference function Test-RegistryKey { [OutputType('bool')] [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Key )

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

if (Get-Item -Path $Key -ErrorAction Ignore) { $true } }

function Test-RegistryValue { [OutputType('bool')] [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Key,

[Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Value )

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

if (Get-ItemProperty -Path $Key -Name $Value -ErrorAction Ignore) { $true } }

function Test-RegistryValueNotNull { [OutputType('bool')] [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Key,

[Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Value )

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

if (($regVal = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Key -Name $Value -ErrorAction Ignore) -and $regVal.($Value)) { $true } }

1. Added "test-path" to each test that did not leverage a custom function from above since
2. an exception is thrown when Get-ItemProperty or Get-ChildItem are passed a nonexistant key path $tests = @( { Test-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\RebootPending' } { Test-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\RebootInProgress' } { Test-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired' } { Test-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackagesPending' } { Test-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\PostRebootReporting' } { Test-RegistryValueNotNull -Key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager' -Value 'PendingFileRenameOperations' } { Test-RegistryValueNotNull -Key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager' -Value 'PendingFileRenameOperations2' } {
3. Added test to check first if key exists, using "ErrorAction ignore" will incorrectly return $true 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates' | Where-Object { test-path $_ -PathType Container } | ForEach-Object { (Get-ItemProperty -Path $_ -Name 'UpdateExeVolatile' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UpdateExeVolatile) -ne 0 } } { Test-RegistryValue -Key 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce' -Value 'DVDRebootSignal' } { Test-RegistryKey -Key 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager\CurrentRebootAttemps' } { Test-RegistryValue -Key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon' -Value 'JoinDomain' } { Test-RegistryValue -Key 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon' -Value 'AvoidSpnSet' } {
4. Added test to check first if keys exists, if not each group will return $Null
5. May need to evaluate what it means if one or both of these keys do not exist ( 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName' | Where-Object { test-path $_ } | %{ (Get-ItemProperty -Path $_ ).ComputerName } ) -ne ( 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName' | Where-Object { Test-Path $_ } | %{ (Get-ItemProperty -Path $_ ).ComputerName } ) } {
6. Added test to check first if key exists 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Services\Pending' | Where-Object { (Test-Path $_) -and (Get-ChildItem -Path $_) } | ForEach-Object { $true } } )

foreach ($test in $tests) { Write-Verbose "Running scriptblock: [$($test.ToString())]" if (& $test) { $true break } } }

foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) { try { $connParams = @{ 'ComputerName' = $computer } if ($PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey('Credential')) { $connParams.Credential = $Credential }

$output = @{ ComputerName = $computer IsPendingReboot = $false }

$psRemotingSession = New-PSSession @connParams

if (-not ($output.IsPendingReboot = Invoke-Command -Session $psRemotingSession -ScriptBlock $scriptBlock)) { $output.IsPendingReboot = $false } [pscustomobject]$output } catch { Write-Error -Message $_.Exception.Message } finally { if (Get-Variable -Name 'psRemotingSession' -ErrorAction Ignore) { $psRemotingSession | Remove-PSSession } } }
