Hello All,

We want to automatically install the compliance agent on new onboarded devices, I cannot find this option in the portal? Currently this is a manual action done by the IT team. Can this be automated?

Thanks!

Currently no support way of doing this but a new update is coming that will allow for the auto deployment of the agent and control the version that is deployed

Thanks for the quick reply! @member

Because it is not practical to install the agent one by one through the console, I took a different approach. I rewrote the existing PowerShell script so it hard-codes the version I want to install and looks for the installer locally instead of downloading it from the internet. I deploy the script and installer together, and I have used this method on hundreds of computers through my endpoint management tool without any issues.

Other customer have done simlar, but not a supported method. but soon you will have a method built the will provide this ability i already have it in my lab and works 🙂 with no issue, as long as my sip agent is above a version (sip agent version not released yet). You will also have the ability to push version to particular tags or device groups.
