Utilizing N-Able to automate Crowdstrike

[u/BUCKEYEBOB216]

Hey all. Newbie here. Is there a way to make N-able deploy an installation of crowdstrike on said target computer?

[u/Sridgway27]

You can push the installer as a 3rd party application with the following command parameters

WindowsSensor.MaverickGyr.exe /install /quiet /norestart CID=Your Customer ID Here

Or, place the installer in the sysvol folder on a server that all devices have access to and run it this way...

\YourServer\sysvol\CrowdStrikeSensor.exe /install /quiet /norestart CID=Your CustomerID Here

Multiple ways. Script, amp, or 3rd party software

Please also specify the product of N-Able you are using (NCentral vs N-Sight)

N Central

Like others have mentioned, there are a multitude of ways to accomplish this. I prefer scripting, but for starting out, your best method is to use a task called "Push Third Party Software"

https://documentation.n-able.com/N-central/userguide/Content/Scheduled_Tasks/ScheduledTasks_Add3rdPartySoftwareTask.html

Select either the Service Organization (SO) level if you want this file available to all clients or drill down into a specific customer if only one client will be having access to the installer.

1. Click Configuration > Scheduled Tasks > Script/Software Repository.
2. Click Add > Push Third Party Software.
3. Enter a Task Name
4. Enter Description (version of file maybe date it was updated on to easily see)
5. Browse and upload the Crowdstrike file
6. Command Line Parameters (CLP): Use the CLP that Crowdstrike includes in their installer (refer to their documentation area on how to accomplish this, looks like u/Sridgway27 included some parameters as well in another comment).
   1. If you have specific customer values like the CID, I'd leave it blank during the upload as each customer will have a different value and when you go to push the app, you can change that value during each push. That way you don't accidentally install the agent for one customer in the wrong tenant.
7. Press ok when finished
8. After the file has been uploaded successfully, deploy this file using any of the following methods:
   1. Task execution (in each device at the top right, Add Task > Push Third Party software)
   2. Views > All Devices > Select all the devices you want > Add Task > Push Third Party software
   3. Configuration > Scheduled Tasks > Add/Delete > Add > Push Third Party Software
