In a busy IT environment, efficiency and automation are essential for maintaining security, sanity, compliance, and uptime. Automox Worklets™ are a flexible way to automate system actions and apply them consistently across devices.
This roundup highlights four Automox Worklets that help IT administrators automate routine tasks across Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.
macOS – Download and Install Microsoft Office 365
This Worklet allows IT administrators to check whether Microsoft Office 365 is installed on macOS devices. If it’s missing, the Worklet downloads and installs the latest version. Installing or updating Office manually on multiple endpoints takes time and introduces the risk of version mismatches.
Automating this process helps keep devices aligned and reduces the need for manual intervention.
Windows – Get Reboot History
This PowerShell-based Worklet gathers and reports device reboot activity. It captures timestamps, user-initiated events, and system-generated reboot reasons. IT administrators often need this level of detail to support troubleshooting, monitor maintenance cycles, and verify compliance with uptime requirements.
Centralizing reboot data into one actionable report saves time and enables proactive system monitoring.
Install SentinelOne Agent
These Worklets scan for devices missing the SentinelOne security agent and installs it based on defined policy. Maintaining consistent endpoint protection is essential, but manual deployment can lead to gaps or misconfigurations.
By automating installation, administrators can apply security tools across all supported Linux, macOS, or Windows devices without tracking each system individually.
macOS – Disable Remote Login
The Disable Remote Login Worklet is a bash-based script that identifies whether SSH is enabled on macOS devices and disables it if active.
SSH is a common remote access method but can pose a security risk if left enabled unnecessarily, especially on managed endpoints. This Worklet gives IT administrators a reliable way to enforce secure defaults across macOS systems without manual intervention.
Automating the Essentials
Automox Worklets give IT administrators a streamlined approach to deploying software, gathering operational insights, and enforcing security policies. These four examples show how targeted automation can support large-scale device management while reducing overhead and minimizing risk.
Automation doesn't have to be hard – Worklets make it practical and accessible, for both routine and complex tasks.
