Run a local batch script in the Take Control viewer

Run a script and include command line parameters on a device. You can use the standard command prompt to run DOS commands and batch files, or the Powershell to run scripts.

1. In N-able N-central, click Views > All Devices.
2. Click the link for the device.
3. Click Remote Control in the upper-right corner and select Take Control.
4. Click the System Shell tab.
5. To change the shell, click Shell Type > Windows Powershell.

   You cannot have both shells open at the same time and alternate between them.

6. Click Run > Run Local Batch.
7. Navigate to the script you want to run and click Open to run it.

The batch script starts. Click End to start a new shell, break the pending operation without terminating the shell itself, or clear the screen.
