      Can I use my RMM tool to install the data collection agent on multiple machines?

      Use the Bocada Cloud PowerShell script in your RMM tool to remotely install the agent faster and easier

      The Bocada Cloud Data Collection Agent is required to connect Bocada Cloud to on-premise backup applications. To make the agent installation process easier, Bocada has provided a PowerShell script for you to use with your RMM tool to remotely install the agent on multiple devices/machines.  

      Below is the PowerShell script, and then individual instructions for 10 different RMM tools follow (Datto, NinjaOne, N-able, Atera, Pulseway, Kaseya, SynchroMSP, Microsoft InTune, ManageEngine EndPoint Central and Citrix Endpoint Management).

      Bocada Cloud Data Collection Agent PowerShell Script 

      # Bocada Cloud Agent MSI download URL 

      $msiUrl = "https://backup-api.cloud.bocada.com/Bocada_Cloud_Agent_Installer.msi" 

      # Generate a random log file name 

      $logFileName = "InstallationLog_$(Get-Random -Minimum 10000 -Maximum 99999).log" 

      # Define the temp directory 

      $tempDir = [System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath() 

      # Define the MSI file path 

      $msiFilePath = Join-Path $tempDir "Bocada.Cloud.Agent.Installer.msi" 

      # Download the MSI 

      Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $msiUrl -OutFile $msiFilePath 

      # Check if the download was successful 

      if (Test-Path $msiFilePath) { 

          # Run the MSI installer with elevated privileges and capture the process information 

          $installProcess = Start-Process -FilePath "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/i `"$msiFilePath`" ALLUSERS=`"1`" /norestart /qn /l*v `"$tempDir\$logFileName`"" -PassThru -Wait 

          # Check the exit code of the installer 

          if ($installProcess.ExitCode -eq 0 -or $installProcess.ExitCode -eq 3010) { 

              Write-Host "Installation completed successfully." 

          } else { 

              Write-Host "Error during MSI installation. See more details in the log file: $tempDir\$logFileName" 

          } 

      } else { 

          Write-Host "Failed to download the MSI from $msiUrl" 

      } 

      # Clean up the downloaded MSI file 

      Remove-Item -Path $msiFilePath -Force 

      Note: Make sure to test the deployment on a small scale or in a controlled environment before deploying to a larger number of machines to ensure compatibility and successful execution.
