lsAgent MSI installer

[AlexP]

One of the reasons we're interested in using lsAgent is for laptop fleets. These laptops don't regularly connect to the office network, so scanning centrally on an interval won't always find them. The cloud relay service solves this problem neatly, however in order to install the lsAgent on the laptops (and update the agent with new releases), it seems the best way is to push the software via GPO. This way, all the laptops will eventually receive the agent the next time the user is in the office. Providing an MSI version of the installer will make it easier for us to deploy the agent automatically via GPO. We'd need MST support to be able to specify the unique relay key / server name / port numbers of course.

Thanks!

We are using Intune with a build MSI from the lsagent.exe. We build the MSI with the free program MSI Wrapper. In the parameter settings we used the settings: --server LAN-001 --port 9524 --agentkey 4c2db649-014a-41f5-a01d-123456abc --mode unattended.

We've used the MSI Wrapper as well. I don't like how the program shows with all the bloat, but it accomplishes what we needed.

FYI I changed the agent key in your post since I'm not sure how safe it is to publicly post your LsAgent key (better safe than sorry).

Regardless, it's a very innovative way of getting an MSI. I'll try it out myself and document the steps as this might be useful for others.

Charles - have you had a chance to go through this and document/write up?
Seems to work pretty well...
