TranslateSpiceworks and Intel® Maintenance Manager Plugin
Allows you to run scheduled maintenance tasks on entire inventory groups. Will wake and hibernate computers as needed before and after the maintenance tasks.
With the release of Spiceworks 4.5.45710 on the 31st December we now have the use of the Intel Maintenance Manager Plug-in, this gives the change to “run any executable or batch file that you would otherwise start from the Start->Run field”.
With three “actions” by default “Get critical windows updates”, “Defrag local disks” and “Disk cleanup” you can start to get the feel off how powerful this plugin could be for making things easier. Then you find out you can add your own custom command and away you go. You could even put a batch file with loads of commands into a network share and schedule its execution.

So does this mean now if you have the knowledge you can start to execute commands on remote machines? Could we start too see plug-ins for remotely installing software?
This is just another step in Spiceworks becoming everything IT and making mine and your day soo much easier.
