Advanced Topics > Using Remote Execution Plugins

RayVentory Scan Engine supports advanced Remote-Execution scanning of Windows devices with the help of custom plugins. The following checklist summarizes the actions required to set up custom plugins:

1.Ensure that a valid UNC path is configured in the Settings > Inventory > Remote Execution screen. Press Install scan utiltities to install the tools for the first time.

2.Put the custom plugins into the /plugins subfolder, which should be located in the root UNC path configured in the first step.

3.Make sure your devices are scanned with Remote-Execution scanning methods (by default, Zero-Touch methods take precedence). This can be achieved in one of the following ways:

a.Disable Zero-Touch support for particular devices that you want to reach with plugin-based Remote-Execution scan.

b.Disable Zero-Touch globally (see Inventory Methods chapter for more information on that).

4.Scan the affected Windows devices or rescan already existing devices.

5.Additional information and logs documenting the execution of a plugin can be found on the target devices in the Tracker.log file. The level of details can be changed in the RayVentory Scan Engine settings.
