It adds System.Execute action (and also System.ExecuteInAllSessions on Windows), but System.Execute does nothing.
Updated docs.

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.
