Auto Install Agent
Wondering if there a way to auto install the PDQ agent within PDQ Inventory or do we have to use Deploy?
If we have to use deploy, where can I find the agent install file?
Thanks!

There is currently no way to automatically trigger Agent installations in Inventory. You have to use Deploy.
The Agent installer is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Inventory\AgentInstaller.exe
Here's a package you can import:
