Copy the Agent download URL

In the Datto RMM web interface, complete the following steps:

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Sites > All Sites.
  2. Click the name of a site.
  3. Click Add Device. The target operating system, Windows, is selected by default.
  4. In the Share the agent link section, click Copy to copy the Agent download URL to your clipboard.

Prepare the core and install the Agent

  1. Open a PowerShell command prompt on the Hyper-V core machine you are installing the Agent on.
  2. Run the following commands:
    $source = [Agent download URL you copied]
    $dest = [destination path]\Newagent.exe"
    $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
    $wc.DownloadFile($source, $dest)

    3. IMPORTANT  Make sure the $dest path entry above includes the full destination path, including the installer's file name: Newagent.exe.
