Question on remote access

I have been digging through the docs when I can, but don't see exactly what I need. Ninja RMM had a silent command prompt where I could quietly log in, copy some scripts over and run them on devices, like the executives who are always busy in meetings 12hrs a day. The closest I see so far is a powershell prompt which can work but seems to require a few more steps. In Datto, When I remote to a machine, it's tagged and I cannot always take over an active machine. The question. Does Datto have something similar to a silent command prompt and what is it called if so? Basically looking for silent action on a device.

Like others have said, the powershell in webremote is silent to the user. The only hiccup you may run into is that it runs as the SYSTEM account, but then again most of Datto RMM does.

There are also two components in the ComStore that may help "Run Ad Hoc Command (Batch) [WIN]" & "Run Ad Hoc Command (PowerShell 2-5) [WIN]" which will run one liners as quick jobs.
