How can I execute commands on remote nodes via agent after setting EnableArbitraryCommandExecution=yes ?

Good question.  Didn't realize this existed, and I see no other reference to it other than the nxagent sourcecode.  Might not be fully implemented?

Don't know if it is fully implemented but it is referenced in the appendix:
https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/appendix.html?highlight=enablearbitrarycommandexecution

I like netxms but the probem is the lack of documentation.
I've tried to have it working but it gives me a generic error of "Communication failure".

I ended up with a simple workaround: added an agent policy with a generic action and defined an agent command that executes the action with a parameter.

Now I can run arbitrary command on windows client without problems.

It's not fully implemented. It adds System.Execute action (and also System.ExecuteInAllSessions on Windows), but System.Execute does nothing.
Updated docs.
