Has anyone created a Worklet that can change Zones of Windows systems? I am not the best at PowerShell and was hoping someone has already created this. I know it can be done through the command line so assuming it can be done through PowerShell.
C:\’Program Files (x86)’\Automox\amagent.exe --setkey <ZONE KEY>
net stop amagent
net start amagent

While migrating a device to another zone can be scripted via Powershell, it goes against our best practices to use this method via a Worklet as there is a high chance that it will result in a dead agent and/or a stuck command. We recommend manually issuing the --setkey command to the device to change zones:

If you wanted to perform this via Powershell, you can use the following script:
# Provide the key for your target Automox zone
$newZoneKey = ""
# Predefined amagent variables
$amagentPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Automox\amagent.exe"
# Set the new zone key
Start-Process $amagentPath -ArgumentList ("--setkey $newZoneKey")
# Deregister the device
Start-Process $amagentPath -ArgumentList ("--deregister")
# Stop the amagent service, sleep, and restart the service
Stop-Service -Name amagent -Force
Start-Sleep 10
Start-Service -Name amagent
Again, this is not a method that should be executed via a Worklet, but instead issued to the device locally or through another RMM.
I hope this helps. Have a great day!
