Install-MMA - Remote install of Microsoft Monitoring Agent

Install-MMA is PowerShell I wrote for a customer last year to deploy the Microsoft Monitoring Agent remotely to servers.

It uses PowerShell Remoting. It also includes a few other scripts to help manage the MMA later as needed. This was built to help customers install/upgrade to the Log Analytics version of the MMA but can also be used to deploy the SCOM version as well.

Requirements

• Download the Microsoft Monitoring Agent
  • Windows 64-bit agent - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=828603
  • Windows 32-bit agent - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=828604
• Extract the momagent.msi from the Agent .exe
  • MMASetup-<platform>.exe /c /t:<Path>
• The Log Analytics workspace ID
• The Log Analytics workspace key
• Ensure PowerShell remoting is enabaled in the environment

Implementation

Install-MMA has a single parameter: RemoteServer

Example: Install-MMA -RemoteServer OMSAgent

You will need to define the following in the code to use:

• Define RemoteServer if you don't use the parameter
• Provide the location of the momagent.msi that you extracted
• Enter the Workspace ID
• Enter the Workspace key
