Hello dear Splunkers,
We have many windows machines in our company and we installed Splunk UF on these systems.
Can we install windows updates or other applications remotely with our Splunk UFs ?
Thanks.

In theory, you can push an app containing a shell script to your UFs and the forwarders will run the script at the designated time. The script can perform just about any action that the user running the UF could do. This is one reason why UFs should not run as a privileged user.
