PDQ Connect now has a Dashboard!

🎉 🚀 PDQ Connect now has a Dashboard where you can quickly identify what needs attention, take action to improve the state of your fleet, and show stakeholders the impact of your work.

Instead of touring pages to piece together the state of your environment, the Dashboard surfaces what needs attention in one place. Devices needing a reboot, failed deployments worth retrying, vulnerabilities that have been open too long — it's all there when you open Connect. And because every widget routes you directly into the relevant workflow, you’re always just one click away from tackling the next problem.

Find it by clicking "Dashboard" in your nav, and optionally make it your default homepage within settings. Looking forward to your feedback!

Reboot devices directly from PDQ Connect

You can now reboot devices right from Connect — no PowerShell scripts, no custom packages, no workarounds.

Reboot a single device - Navigate to any device and select "Reboot device."

Reboot multiple devices at once - On the Devices page, select any group of devices and choose "Reboot" from the actions menu. For mass reboots, you'll be asked to type a confirmation phrase — a safeguard we built in intentionally given how disruptive a mass reboot can be.

Reboot history — Reboot actions appear in your deployments page so you can track what was rebooted and when.

Audit log support - Every reboot action is logged in your audit log, including who initiated it and which devices were affected.

Permission controls - A new "Reboot devices" RBAC permission gives you control over which users can trigger reboots. This permission is not enabled by default for existing roles (other than Admins) — you'll need to explicitly grant it to roles that should have access.

Works on Windows and Mac.

Mcafee Removal

Has anyone found a way to remove mcafee from machines. Their removal tool now requires a captcha and can't be run silently.

Added a machine through PDQ agent but I can't see it in my dashboard

I am new to PDQ Connect but I think I'm picking it up quite handily but as it says in the title I have a machine that has the agent running on it and I can't see it in my dashboard. Where should I start looking.

Or, if you have a link to a doc that has a post that would be great too

UPDATE: The machine was/is wonky. Had to reinstall the PDQ Agent but it's still not showing in the taskbar. When running services.msc it shows both PDQ Agent and Updater as delayed start and I am now able to see it in my dashboard.
