ConnectWise Automate

Practical troubleshooting paths for MSP technicians dealing with real-world support failures.

What This Category Covers

Automate issues need proof of monitor, group, script, and endpoint execution state. Console success does not always mean the endpoint changed.

Fastest Isolation Path

  • Check group membership, script history, command queue, monitor status, and endpoint services.
  • Compare scheduled versus manual execution context.
  • Capture script output and affected agent IDs before escalation.

Before You Escalate

Include affected scope, exact errors, timestamps, working comparison, logs checked, changes made, and the current suspected layer. Escalation without this evidence usually turns into another round of basic triage.
