How to force the KACE agent to re-install itself automatically via GPO
Hey guys,
Sorry the title may be a tad confusing but I'm currently doing some tests with the KACE Agent. When I delete the KACE agent from a PC, I was wondering if there was a way for GP to detect that it is missing and to re-install it?
Right now I have the rule set on Group Policy to install the KACE Agent on PC's within the group. I know i'm doing something wrong here but I'm pretty new to all of this :)
Thanks,
M

if you fully uninstall the agent (not only deleting its components) the GPO software install extension will install it again.
But I do not suggest to do this via GPO.
The better way is to use installation via the K1000 agent provisioning.
If you go to K1/adminui/client_update.php and configure the agent to auto update and repair broken agents ( check Enabled + Update Broken agents ) the agents should always work fine. Provision it via K1/adminui/provision_config.php (for many systems) or K1/adminui/provision_single_machine.php for a single machine.
I always assume your box has the name "K1".

Thanks Nico. We use both GPO and the K1000 Agent provisioning to deploy the KACE agent in our environment. We saw an additional 10% of our computer show up overnight after having the GPO in place. - GeekSoldier 11 years ago

Thanks Nico,
I'm guessing that I have to select "Deploy to all machines" for the provisioning to run? - Mobzy 11 years ago -
Also,
It seems that if a Kace Client is removed from a machine, the machine seems to be taken of the Kace inventory? Is there a times limit before the inventory removes it or something? - Mobzy 11 years ago
