Windows Server

The Windows module manages Windows Server installations. It provides Patch Management with policy-based update control, software management via Winget, service monitoring, scheduled tasks, and RDP access.

PowerShell Instead of Shell

The Windows module provides a PowerShell console instead of the Bash shell. Commands are executed directly as PowerShell commands.

Tab: Overview

The overview shows the most important metrics (CPU, RAM, Disk, Uptime) as cards at the top. Below are editable fields (Name, Customer, Description) and the sub-tab navigation.

Sub-tab: Hardware

The installation dialog allows:

1. Enter a search term (searches the Winget repository)
2. Result list with name, ID, and version
3. Select a package and install with one click

Winget Integration

Software management uses the Windows Package Manager (Winget). This allows you to install, update, and remove software directly from the official Winget repository - all remotely via the agent. The software list is refreshed every 5 minutes.

• Start RDP Tunnel - Remote Desktop connection
• Open PowerShell - Remote PowerShell
• Start Tunnel - Additional tunnel templates
• Start Update - Install Windows Updates
• Run Script - Execute a PowerShell script

Tunnel Templates

Template	Target Port	Description
RDP	3389	Remote Desktop Protocol
Agent SSH	22	SSH via the agent
WinRM HTTP	5985	Windows Remote Management (HTTP)
WinRM HTTPS	5986	Windows Remote Management (HTTPS)
SMB	445	File shares
HTTP	80	Web server access
HTTPS	443	Encrypted web access

Patch Management

The Patch Management tab in the Windows navigation provides a centralized overview of all Windows Updates:

• Updates - Global update overview across all hosts with approval status
• Policies - Create and manage Patch Policies (severity/category rules, KB blocklist)
• Compliance - Patch status per host with traffic light system

See Patch Management for the full documentation.

Update Schedules

Type	Description
Windows Update	Install all available Windows Updates
Update + Reboot	Install updates with reboot and optional post-update script

See Update Schedules for details.

Remote Access Column

The Remote Access column in the host table shows quick access buttons:

RDP Access

1. Click the RDP button in the host table or context menu
2. An RDP tunnel is created automatically
3. Copy the displayed connection address (server:port)
4. Open your RDP client (mstsc.exe) with this address

The tunnel encrypts the connection via WebSocket, so no direct network access to the server is required.

RustDesk Integration

If RustDesk is installed on the Windows host, the agent reports the RustDesk ID in the heartbeat. An additional RustDesk button then appears in the Remote Access column:

• Click opens the RustDesk connection (rustdesk:// protocol)
• The RustDesk ID and version are detected automatically
• Password is fetched on demand from the agent (not included in the heartbeat)

RustDesk Detection

The agent checks with every heartbeat whether RustDesk is installed and reads the ID from the configuration. The version is also reported.

Logged-in Users

The Logged-in Users column shows the users currently logged in to the Windows Server:

• Username and session type (Console, RDP)
• Updated with every heartbeat (30s)
• Multiple logged-in users are displayed as a list
