This guide outlines the steps to deploy the Block 64 Discovery Agent MSI using Kaseya VSA. Kaseya allows centralized deployment of MSI packages, making it ideal for deploying the Block 64 Discovery Agent across various devices.

Important: Retrieve the Enrollment Token

Before deployment, ensure you have the unique Enrollment Token specific to your environment. This token is essential for successful agent registration and can be obtained from your Block 64 Dashboard or Block 64 Support. Using an incorrect token will prevent proper agent registration.

Step 1: Upload the MSI File to Kaseya VSA

  1. Log in to the Kaseya VSA Console.
  2. Go to Agent Procedures > Manage Procedures > Schedule / Create.
  3. Click New File under Manage Files to upload the Block 64 Discovery Agent MSI file (Discovery Agent.msi).

Step 2: Create a Deployment Script in Kaseya

  1. Create a New Agent Procedure:

    • Navigate to Agent Procedures > Schedule / Create > Agent Procedure.
    • Click New Procedure and name it (e.g., “Deploy Block 64 Discovery Agent”).

  2. Add MSI Installation Command:

    • In the script editor, add a step to Execute Shell Command.
    • Enter the following command to install the MSI with the enrollment token:
      msiexec /i "#agentApp#\Slingshot.msi" ENROLLMENT_TOKEN="your_token_here" /qn
    • Replace "your_token_here" with the actual enrollment token.

  3. Save the Procedure: Save the procedure for deployment.

Step 3: Deploy the Agent Procedure

  1. Navigate to Agent Procedures > Run Now.
  2. Select the deployment procedure you created (e.g., “Deploy Block 64 Discovery Agent”).
  3. Choose the Target Devices or Groups for deployment.
  4. Click Execute to run the procedure immediately, or schedule it for a later time.

Monitoring and Verifying Installation

  1. Check Procedure Status: Navigate to Agent Procedure Logs to verify the status of each deployment.
  2. Confirm Installation on Endpoints: Check Programs and Features on each endpoint to confirm that the Block 64 Discovery Agent is listed as installed.

Uninstallation Steps

To uninstall, create a new Agent Procedure in Kaseya with the following uninstall command:

msiexec /x "#agentApp#\Discovery Agent.msi" /qn

Assign this procedure to target devices to remove the Block 64 Discovery Agent.
