Install Instructions – TechIDManager

The installation process takes about an hour to go from nothing installed to a working TechIDManager deployment with a few technician setup and a few types of agents working. TechIDManager offers a White Glove Install if you want us to go through this process with you.

These instructions cover installing agents manually. We provide example source for PowerShell scripts to run in any RMM so the whole agent installation process can be automated.
