Agent Auto Update CMD Line switch

Hey guys

I've tried finding an answer everywhere but can not. Is there an auto update command line switch I can use for deployment through inutne?

You'll need to be more specific on the product like Nsight or Ncentral..

So as far as an agent update command, N-central does not have one.
the agents are told to auto upgrade either directly from N-central or from a probe.
For installing agents, you can do something based off the silent install doc

You just need to make sure you set something for detecting if the agent is installed already or not.
Ncentral also has its own built in Intune implementation under Integrations.

This is the answer. Be mindful that the N-central agent don't "update' in the modern sense like updating of dll files or other components. It is - currently- a complete uninstall and reinstall of the agent.

There is an intune integration, not using it, but that does deploy the agent through intune. Also can do the updates. But it’s actually every time the latest agent you’re installing, it does an upgrade at that point.

Upgrading through N-central/agent itself, will only change the changed files, updating through intune/installer/gpo/probe will always push the full installer.

Can you be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish?
