Group Policy Site Installation Package contents

When you deploy the Agent using the Group Policy Site Installation Package the download contains:

  • agent.msi — used for the installation and removal of the Agent.
  • package.zip — contains all the elements required for the MSI install, including the settings.ini file - which references the Client and Site the Agent is to be registered against - as well as executable, configuration and language files etc.

If a monitoring template is selected for the device, to ensure the latest template version is always applied, it is not included in the package but downloaded directly from the All Devices view as part of the installation process.
