Installing Auvik Endpoint with Intune

For the generic steps to deploy Auvik Endpoint, please see Installing the Auvik Endpoint Agent.  

Note: The Agent installation process requires the End User Agents permission, a default of the Super Admin role.  

1. Download the Agent

• Navigate to the Auvik Site you want to register your endpoints with
• Under the Admin section, go to the Endpoints page
• Click the Agents tab
• On the Agents page, click the Deploy Agent button in the top right corner of the Agents table

 
2. Deploy the Agent 

• Follow the instructions in Auvik to Download the Windows Installer

3. Add a Windows line-of-business app to Microsoft Intune  

• From your Microsoft Intune admin center, configure a new Line of Business application for Auvik Endpoint.
  • These steps are modified from the Microsoft documentation. 

1. 1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center
   2. Select Apps > All apps > Add
   3. In the Select app type pane, under the Other app types, select Line-of-business app
   4. Select Select
   5. The Add app steps are displayed
      • Complete the configuration as per the screenshot
        • Specific steps to ensure are configured correctly:

             • Select the MSI downloaded in Step 2
          2. Name: Auvik Endpoint
          3. Description: Auvik Endpoint Agent 
          4. Publisher: Auvik Networks Inc. 
          5. Ignore App Version: Yes
          6. Command-line arguments:
             

             SITE_KEY=<key>

             • Note: Only include the SITE_KEY variable in this field, do NOT include the MsiExec or other arguments such as /i
             • You can find the SITE_KEY either through the Deploy Agent pop up from Step Two, or via the Site Registration Key page under Endpoint in the left hand navigation
   6. Click Next
   7. Add any scope tags required

4. Assign the Auvik Endpoint application to Groups

• Prior to finishing the App creation workflow, assign the Auvik Endpoint application to groups
• Following the Microsoft documentation, select the groups of endpoints you wish to deploy Auvik Endpoint to

Note: It is recommended to start with a subset of endpoints, and not all devices, with the initial deployment. Once testing is complete and the installation process is validated, you can proceed with adding additional groups to the policy. 

5. Validate deployment is successful

It may take up to 24 hours for all devices to pick up the new application assignment. While you can look at the policy overview within Microsoft Intune it is recommended to watch the Endpoint -> Agent page to identify if the policy has been deployed correctly. 

You will see devices appear in this screen showing Initializing and within 5-10 minutes they should update to check marks, showing a successful deployment. 

After 24 hours, you can review the policy overview to determine if the deployment was successful on all devices. 

Tip: If this is your first time deploying Auvik Endpoint we recommend reviewing our Getting Started Guide.
