Is there a powershell script that is already been established where i can install autmox and have it run with the our Key and assign it to a special group that is already been created.

Hi
It looks like the deployment method you are using is downloading the Automox msi, and then invoking it directly. This method is completely separate from the Powershell script I sent earlier.
That being said, I see two issues with your current script.
- The Automox installer URL in your Invoke-WebRequest command is incorrect.
- You are passing the -GroupName and -ParentGroupName parameters to the MSI, but these parameters only exist with the aforementioned Powershell deployment method. When using the MSI, you’ll want to pass the GROUP parameter instead: https://help.automox.com/hc/en-us/articles/5352260844564-Silent-Agent-Deployment-on-Windows
Here’s a revised script that will correct those issues:
$installpath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Automox"
if(test-path $installpath) {
write-host "exiting"
exit
}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$path = "C:\VMDIT\"
if(!(test-path $path)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path
}
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://console.automox.com/installers/Automox_Installer-latest.msi" -OutFile "C:\VMDIT\Automox_Installer-latest.msi"
Start-Process -FilePath 'msiexec.exe' -ArgumentList ('/i','C:\VMDIT\Automox_Installer-latest.msi','/qn','/norestart','ACCESSKEY="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"','GROUP="Default Group/AWS Workspaces"')
Let me know if you still have issues!
Hi
Here is a a Powershell script that should help!
https://help.automox.com/hc/en-us/articles/5384338960020#DeployingtheAutomoxAgentinBulk-DeployingonWindowsUsingPowerShell
When using it to deploy the Automox agent, you’ll want to call the ps1 file and pass your access key and target group parameters to it.
Example:
Install-AxAgentMsi.ps1 -AccessKey xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx -GroupName "Target Group"
If the target group is nested beneath another group, you’ll want to ensure that you pass the -ParentGroupName as well:
Install-AxAgentMsi.ps1 -AccessKey xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx -GroupName "Target Group" -ParentGroupName "Windows Devices"
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey JohnG, this is what i have so it downloads it to the VMDIT folder but it doesnt install. am i doing something wrong. The Parent group is “Default” and then group name i have in console is called AWS workspaces
$installpath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Automox"
if(test-path $installpath) {
write-host "exiting"
exit
}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$path = "C:\VMDIT\"
if(!(test-path $path)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path
}
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://console.automox.com/Automox_Installer-latest.msi" -OutFile "C:\VMDIT\Automox_Installer-latest.msi"
Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/i C:\VMDIT\Automox_Installer-latest.msi /qn /norestart ACCESSKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXX -GroupName "AWS Workspaces” -ParentGroupName “Default”
