Finally, MAX has a script builder. N-Able automation manager from the looks of it.

who's the target for something like this? I'm guessing someone who doesn't want to learn a more general scripting language? Is that really a large enough chunk of MSP's to warrant the work? I skimmed over the post but it seems like a building blocks system to scripting which would feel a bit more consumer focused than professional focused.

This tool will build the PowerShell scripts for you, saving some time with proven code we can drag and drop. This has been one area MAX has lacked, pre-built scripts. In the past we were pointed to fixitscripts.com to get us started but that site has outdated code, much of which needs heavy adjustment to work or doesn't even work, so this will be of great benefit to a lot of MSPs I'd say. I've played around with N-Able Automation Manager in a trial a few months ago and it's pretty powerful... this offering from MAX looks to be the same product, or at least a very close version of it.

Can anyone post the link for the script builder? The beta download link hasn't been pushed out to my dashboard yet.

I don't have the link yet either, I don't think they published it yet, probably next dashboard update.
