Testing a sample action on a managed device
Let us test running a sample EXE file on a managed device, to do so, perform the following steps:
- Select the desired endpoint from the list, then right click on it.
- Select Run EXE or Command
- The Action screen will be opened where you can enter the EXE path which could be a local path on the managed endpoint or a UNC share located on the network, to simplify the path selection you can click the browse button and select a file either locally or on a share

- Enter any arguments that you would like to pass to the EXE.
- If you are regularly using this command, you can save it a template for later use.
- Click on Trigger-it Button.
The command will be executed immediately on the managed endpoint.
Performing a group action
You can select multiple devices and perform a single action on them, the flow is slightly different but it is the same as the above process.

- The group action wizard will be opened and you can review the devices in the selected list, you can right click on the list and remove a device from the list.


- Enter the command and pass its arguments then click on Trigger-it
