      Any agent-based suggestions for Windows (Mac too) environment?

      https://www.pdq.com/blog/pdq-agent-status-update/

      "The bad: We are announcing the End of Life (EOL) of the optional PDQ Agent beta from our existing products."

      I know this is about a month old, but I was reading release notes for the latest version and discovered that they were removing the ability to install the agent. Surprised that they couldn't get it working correctly.

          Interesting, most Inventory solutions are working towards agents now.

            Exactly. Now, I am looking for another solution that includes an agent.

              @wrx7m SmartDeploy isn't there yet with the package support I don't think but it uses agents. Its something to watch.

                @wrx7m wow - I was using PDQ Inventory and Deploy heavily at the last gig. I did have issues with the agent and had moved jobs before I really got a chance to see agent reliably function in the offsite endpoint scenario.

                  What did the Agent do? Did it actually do the deployments? You could look at Chocolaty and Ansible (setup to Pull) to do a lot of that.

                    @coliver from memory it allowed endpoint status display, along with connection when outside the corporate network for running commands and application management.

                    It was part of the subscription and didn't require any other additional setup - so was nice in theory.

                      Ah. Salt and Ansible can do similar things but would require some backend work.

                        Salt has an agent, right?

                          Yes, and Ansible can be setup in a Pull configuration so it can act like it has an Agent as well.
