Installing LS for Mac via Intune

[deanmcclymont77]

Hi Guys,

Currently in the middle of trying to roll out LS to our estate of Macs via Intune, does anyone know the best way because I cant seem to find a decent script to push it out or when its uploaded as a line of business app. 

I need to be able to have the parameters of server, port and cloud relay key too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hope this helps! It works fine in our environment.

Hi @deanmcclymont77 

I assume you are refering to installng LS agent to a Mac device here. Please check out the below article. It will explain how to silently install LsAgent to a Mac device. There also is a section that explains the parameters required.

Hello ErikT,

we discovered the same problem as mentioned above.

The skript in your documentation for the silent installation wont work and i dont know why.

Even if i only deploy the lansweeper "lsagent-osx.dmg" manually without intune, i cant run this command:

LsAgent-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh --server xxx --port xxx --agentkey xxx --mode unattended

There is always an error "no such file or directory".

Is there any solution?

Perfect case would be deploying the .pkg via intune and automatically run the skript to register the device.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I used this script within Intune in the end, and it worked perfectly. Hope it helps

!/bin/bash

# --- Configuration ---
AGENT_URL="https://content.lansweeper.com/lsagent-mac/" # Replace with the latest LsAgent URL
AGENT_DMG="/tmp/LsAgent-osx.dmg"
AGENT_MOUNTPOINT="/Volumes/LsAgent"
INSTALL_SCRIPT="/Volumes/LsAgent/LsAgent-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh"
SERVER_ADDRESS="" # Replace with your Lansweeper server address
SERVER_PORT="9524" # Replace with your Lansweeper server port
AGENT_KEY="" # Replace with your Lansweeper agent key

# --- Download and Mount ---
echo "Downloading LsAgent..."
curl -L "$AGENT_URL" -o "$AGENT_DMG"

echo "Mounting LsAgent DMG..."
hdiutil attach "$AGENT_DMG" -mountpoint "$AGENT_MOUNTPOINT" -nobrowse

# --- Install ---
echo "Running LsAgent installer..."
sudo bash "$INSTALL_SCRIPT" --server "$SERVER_ADDRESS" --port "$SERVER_PORT" --agentkey "$AGENT_KEY" --mode unattended

# --- Cleanup ---
echo "Unmounting LsAgent DMG..."
hdiutil detach "$AGENT_MOUNTPOINT"
rm -f "$AGENT_DMG"

echo "Installation complete."

Can you tell me how did u deploy the script?

I tried it and it works partly.

The mounting works flawless and i can see the drive agent.dmg mounted under "/tmp/" but thats all. The Installation won't finish.

Even if i execute the script locally on the macos there are errors.

Any ideas?

Did you try mine up a above? I outlined everything in Intune that you'd configure, and the script is in the spoiler block.

Also got errors but i figured out what i did wrong.

Already testing right now but synchronizing from intune is taking a bit too long 🙂

Haha, I understand the struggle of Intune sync issues:-(. If you have remote access to machines there are ways of forcing a quicker check in on the machine.
