Lansweeper Agent

It's been a while since I've done it (before JAMF) but I know I had to enable SSH for it to communicate, not sure if it's still the case or not. I then modified the sshd_config file to only allow a specific account access to ssh.

I'm starting to work on it now for JAMF, hence me showing up here. Did you ever get this to work? I'll report back with my findings.

The "new" LSAgent doesn't require SSH anymore.
Create a package that drops LsAgent-osx.app somewhere on the disk and add a postinstall script like this:

/path/to/LsAgent-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh --server $yourServer --port $yourPort --agentkey $yourKey --prefix /path/to/install/dir --mode unattended

I was able to get the lsagent installed during our build sequence via @Chris script above, however we do get the "App not optimized" notification if we trigger the policy while a user is logged in.

What is the best method for running a policy only when no one is logged in? At log off?

Forgot to mention I tried disabling the 32bit warnings in that 2nd line of the terminal window without success.

In Mojave, you need to target the

com.apple.coreservices.uiagent

Thanks for everything on help and everything is working great.

@mookman1 you need to create a package that installs the

LsAgent-osx.app

to a temporary location on disk, e.g. /private/tmp.
Add a postinstall script with

#!/bin/bash
/private/tmp/LsAgent-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh --server $yourServer --port $yourPort --agentkey $yourKey --prefix /usr/local/LsAgent --mode unattended

rm -r /private/tmp/LsAgent-osx.app

That will install the agent to /usr/local/LsAgent.

@Chris

Thank for you for script. it's working great. I was able to install lsagent and then having rm -r /private/tmp/LsAgent-osx.app removed the app where the software still is installed

would have you a script to remove the software if needed at a later time if we no longer need the software to be installed?

Thanks again for your help

I haven't tested this much, but

/usr/local/LsAgent/uninstall.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh --mode unattended

seems to work.

@Chris We have workspace One to completed this install. Would you know how to setup that up with workspace one for the install and the uninstall?

I know this is several months old, but having a problem creating a package that installs the LsAgent-osx.app to /private/tmp. I can extract the file from the dmg, but using composer and taking a snapshot it does not pickup the fact that I put LsAgent-osx.app in the /private/tmp folder.

Any help here?

3 year old post still getting it done. Thank you Chris and mookman1. Ya'll helped me get things working.

Run Composer and place the .app file in a local folder.(I.E. user/local/)

Once composer has captured it right-click on the folders and rename to the hidden private/tmp folder structure. 

It there any way to install Lans agent to Linux server without any GUI by using CLI?

Sure:
