UDD Menu Extension
Add to the right-click menu in Unmanaged Device Discovery
Beginning in 8.6.1, LANDesk Management Suite ships with a DLL that enables extension of the right-click menu in the Unmanaged Device Discovery window.
To enable this functionality, create an UDDCxExtender.XML file in your LDMAIN directory. The format of the file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Menus>
<Menu>
<Text>Ping</Text>
<Command>cmd.exe</Command>
<Parameter>/K "ping -t %IPADDRESS%"</Parameter>
</Menu>
<Menu>
<Text>Tracert</Text>
<Command>cmd.exe</Command>
<Parameter>/K "tracert %IPADDRESS%"</Parameter>
</Menu>
<Menu>
<Text>Remote Desktop</Text>
<Command>mstsc.exe</Command>
<Parameter> /v:"%NAME%" /console</Parameter>
</Menu>
<Menu>
<Text>Telnet</Text>
<Command>cmd.exe</Command>
<Parameter>/K "telnet %IPADDRESS%"</Parameter>
</Menu>
<Menu>
<Text>Notepad</Text>
<Command>notepad.exe</Command>
<Parameter></Parameter>
</Menu>
<Menu>
<Text>NMAP</Text>
<Command>ldms_nmap_lpm.exe</Command>
<Parameter>-db_pass=landesk -ip=%IPADDRESS% -mac=%PHYSADDRESS%</Parameter>
</Menu>
</Menus>
Variables are pulled from the UNMANAGEDNODES table. The supported variables are:
| %NAME% | UDD Device Name |
| %IPADDRESS% | UDD IP address |
| %SUBNETMASK% | UDD Subnet mask |
| %OSNAME% | UDD Operating System name |
| %PHYSADDRESS% | UDD MAC Address |
| %CURRENTUSER% | UDD Current User |
| %WORKGROUP% | UDD Workgroup |
You must restart the console for the change to take effect. This can be done on remote consoles as well; consoles without the xml file do not get the right-click menu. Service Packs may delete the XML file, so make sure you back it up.
