Ethical Usage Agreement

To enable these options and the API, you will first have to accept our Ethical Usage Agreement. The agreement can be signed by anyone who has administrator permissions on the account.

The page itself will prompt you to request an email from Hellosign. Check your email and sign the document via the link provided. Once the document has been signed, you will get an email response. The page can then be reset to allow the use of these options.

Enable loginwith.me

This will enable the loginwith.me integrations with Tier2Tickets once the feature is released.

Add Diagnostic Reports to Every ticket

When connected to a ticket system with webhooks, Tier2Tickets can be configured to append Diagnostic Reports on every ticket even if the ticket was not put in via Tier2Tickets software. The Diagnostic Report will not be exactly as the issue happened, but it will be as soon as the ticket system reports the ticket has been submitted.

Device Management vs Diagnostic Report

There are two main access points for these remote features, Diagnostic Reports and the Device Management Page. You can toggle adding each feature for each point of access.

Remote Access API

Most if not all of these features will be available via an API that will require the API KEY posted on the Remote Access Options page. This will come with full API documentation.

Remote diagnostics via Powershell

Additionally with the help of something that can run PowerShell commands remotely (such as an RMM) you can trigger a report to be started with a script. Here is an example:

# generating a random ticket ID
$ticket_id = (1..4|%{[byte](Get-Random -Max 256)}|foreach ToString X2) -join ''

$input = @{
  "type"= "back_ticket"; # don't edit this line
  "target"= "console"; # this can be "console" or "all"
  "kwargs"= @{ # the kwargs fields can be edited to change the information on the ticket.
    "back_ticket_uuid" = (1..32|%{[byte](Get-Random -Max 256)}|foreach ToString X2) -join ''; # don't edit this line
    "ttl" = 0; # manually setting a ttl allows making a ticket report expire and auto-delete, 0 means as long as the account permits
    "ticket_number"= "M.$ticket_id"; # if non-null, will not create a ticket in the PSA. Must be non-null if ticket_id is non-null
    "ticket_id"= "M.$ticket_id"; # if non-null, will not create a ticket in the PSA. Must be non-null if ticket_number is non-null
    "name"= "example name";
    "business"= "example business";
    "email"= "[email protected]";
    "message"= "example message";
    "phone_mobile"= "example phone_mobile";
    "phone_bussiness"= "example phone_bussiness";
    "phone_extension"= "example phone_extension";
    "selection1"= "example selection1";
    "selection2"= "example selection2";
  }
}

$properties = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\helpDeskButtons.com_main_is1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if (-Not $properties) {
    $properties = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\helpDeskButtons.com_main_is1 -ErrorAction Stop
}

cd $properties.InstallLocation

$input_encoded = [Convert]::ToBase64String(([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes(($input | ConvertTo-Json -Compress))))

$ver = (Get-Content -Path 'version.txt').Split('.')
if ($ver[0] -ge 1 -And $ver[1] -ge 1 -And $ver[3] -ge 24){
    if (Test-Path -Path 'guiTrigger.exe' -PathType Leaf){
        .\guiTrigger.exe $input_encoded
    } else {
        python.exe guiTrigger.py $input_encoded
    }
}
