Install via Datto RMM (ComStore)

Team: Huntress Managed Endpoint Detection and Response
Product: Datto RMM
Environment: Windows (macOS version here)
Summary: Installing the Huntress Agent using Datto RMM

NOTE: If you've used the previous version of this script where the organization keys were not automatically pulled from Datto RMM, a duplicate organization may be created if there is a name mismatch. To correct this, move the agents from the old organization into the new one matching the site name in Datto RMM and delete the old organization from the Huntress console.

This deployment component will use a global variable named HUNTRESS_ACCOUNT_KEY (defined in Step 2 below) for the Huntress "Account Key" and the Datto RMM "Site Name" as the Huntress "Organization Name" in Huntress. (Datto RMM exposes the site name by setting an environment variable named CS_PROFILE_NAME, which is what the component uses for the Huntress organization name.) If the organization does not yet exist in Huntress, it will be created automatically.

In the rare instances where the CS_PROFILE_NAME variable is not set, the placeholder organization MISSING_CS_PROFILE_NAME will be used. You can always move agents to the appropriate organization after the installation.

Variable Mapping:

• Datto RMM HUNTRESS_ACCOUNT_KEY variable → Huntress Account Key (manually retrieve from the Huntress web portal)
• Datto RMM Site Name (CS_PROFILE_NAME) → Huntress Organization Name
