Zabbix msi install via GPO

[padl3xx]

Hi guys,

this is not a question on how to deploy, this is a working guide on how to install zabbix 2 agent using msi install and gpo.

For our organization, I've now created a simple script to install and update the zabbix agent. since I intended it to be reusable, I've defined variables so the script can be used everywhere, from small companies to large environments.

The link to the script is on my github, publicly available
https://github.com/Padl3xx/Zabbix_ms...2_template.ps1

There are additional features commented that may be useful - this is folder and file synchronization, which we specifically use - we add powershell scripts to extend agent monitoring

Cheers

Hi, I tried to deploy Zabbix Agent 1 with this, the script works but you'll get a "Open File - Security Warning" .. I have tried to bypass that with few switches such as -ExecutionPolicy Bypass, Unblock-File etc, but didnt work, do you have any idea?

I find the idea of storing the plugins+scripts centrally in Netlogon very interesting.
I haven't come up with that idea yet!

I managed to deploy it by using PS script, using this "https://github.com/Padl3xx/Zabbix_msi_install_gpo", making some adjustments according to my settings and added the PS script to a Startup policy, under Computer Configurations> Policies > Windows Settings> Scripts
