If you do have a requirement for other components or building blocks, drop me a commend and I’ll see what I can do.Ivanti, a Clearlake Capital backed company and a leader in integrating and managing the IT digital workplace, today announced it has acquired RES Software, a digital workspace software company focused on improving the consumption of IT services through secure, automated workspace and identity provisioning. Below is a quick screen shot of how it looks:Īlthough I’ve written this for Applications, this could just as easily work for printers, user registry, anything so long as you ammend the XML path correctly.

Now that you have all the building blocks and the guid, the fun can begin!īelow you will find the automated script to add a workspace to each xml file, then load them back into workspace manager using the powertech.exe command line interface. The workspaceGUID can be found as below, take a copy of this value for later: Of the building blocks you’ve exported, find the application you added to the workspace. Step three is to find the GUID of the workspace you wish to add all your applications to. Next step is to export all applications to building blocks, this can be done easily by simply right clicking start icon and choosing building blocks > create…Ĭhoose the directory you wish to work from (I Chose c:\temp) and click ok, I’ll later refer to this directory as your “scratch directory”. So the first task is to create your workspace and add one application to it, in my case I used notepad: Sadly as they document, exporting from the database is not currently supported, but there was a glimmer of hope, they do support importing building blocks… result! My search continued to the following article on the RESGURU Blog, Where the RESGURU has kindly documented the usage of Powertech to automate (Certain) commands in the powerfuse / Workspace manager world. This approach worked great for his implementation, but I wanted to further automate my process while giving me the ability to amend a workspace without removing any currently configured workspaces.

Upon starting my investigation, I found an interesting article by the PepperCrew’s where he exported all building blocks, then used a find and replace command to add the workspace to the application, then added all building blocks back in again. With 50 + applications in just the proof of concept environment, the idea of opening each and modifying them individually did not excite me. As Part of a recent Proof of concept, I needed to move all of my applications from one workspace to another.
