[Discovery Agent Deployment](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-agent-deployment) # Deploying Block 64 Discovery Agent via SolarWinds Patch Manager This guide walks you through deploying the Block 64 Discovery Agent MSI using **SolarWinds Patch Manager**. While primarily designed for patch management, Patch Manager also supports deployment of custom MSI packages to Windows endpoints. #### **Prerequisite: Retrieve the Enrollment Token** Before proceeding, ensure you have your unique **Enrollment Token**, which links each installed agent to your Block 64 environment. You can retrieve this token from the **Block 64 Dashboard** or by contacting **Block 64 Support**. > ⚠️ *Each **enrollment token** is **unique** to your environment. Using an incorrect token will result in failed agent registration. Contact your Block 64 Engagement Lead or Partner to obtain the correct token.* --- #### **Step 1: Prepare the MSI File** Obtain the **Block 64 Discovery Agent** MSI file (`Discovery Agent.msi`) and place it in a location accessible to SolarWinds Patch Manager (e.g., a shared network folder). --- #### **Step 2: Create a New Package in SolarWinds Patch Manager** 1. Launch the **SolarWinds Patch Manager Console** 2. Navigate to: `Patch Manager > Custom Packages > New Package` 3. Select **MSI File** as the package type 4. Browse and upload the `Discovery Agent.msi` file --- #### **Step 3: Configure the Package for Deployment** Fill in the following details in the **Package Properties** section: - **Package Name**: `Block 64 Discovery Agent Deployment` - **Command Line Arguments**:   `ENROLLMENT_TOKEN="your_token_here" /qn` Replace `"your_token_here"` with your unique token. - **Publisher**: `Block 64` - **Install Behavior**: `Install for System` - **Run Mode**: `Silent` (ensures no user interaction during install) --- #### **Step 4: Assign the Package to Target Devices** 1. Select the **devices or groups** to which the agent should be deployed 2. Choose one of the following under **Deployment Scheduling**: - **Deploy Now**: for immediate installation - **Schedule**: to deploy at a specific time/date --- #### **Monitoring Deployment** ### **1. Check Deployment Results** Go to: `Patch Manager Console > History` Here, you can view deployment statuses, errors, and warnings. ### **2. Confirm Installation on Endpoints** Verify installation by navigating to: `Control Panel > Programs and Features` on each target device. Look for **Block 64 Discovery Agent** in the list of installed programs. --- #### **Uninstallation Steps** To remove the Block 64 Discovery Agent: 1. **Create a New Package** in Patch Manager 2. Use the following uninstall command in the **Command Line** section:   `msiexec /x "path\to\Slingshot.msi" /qn` Replace `"path\to\Slingshot.msi"` with the correct path to your MSI file. 3. Assign this package to the same target devices used during the original installation. --- #### **Need Assistance?** If you encounter any issues or require help during deployment or uninstallation, please contact [Block 64 Support](https://support.block64.com/?hsLang=en). - [Getting Started](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Free Trial Onboarding](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#free-trial-onboarding) - [Start Your Subscription](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#start-your-subscription) - [Discovery Application Installation](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-application-installation) - [Discovery Appliance Setup](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-appliance-setup) - [Discovery Agent Deployment](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-agent-deployment) - [Insights Reports](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#main-content) - [IT Asset Management](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#it-asset-management) - [Security](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#security) - [Cloud & Infrastructure](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#cloud-infrastructure) - [Legacy Combine User Guide](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#legacy-combine-user-guide) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Discovery: Insights Portal](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-insights-portal) - [Insights Calculations](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#insights-calculations) - [Discovery: Block 64 Windows Application](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-block-64-windows-application) - [Discovery: BlockBox Appliance](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-blockbox-appliance) - [Block 64 Discovery Agent](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery-agent) - [Documentation](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Insights: Integrations](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#insights-integrations) - [Privacy and Security](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#privacy-and-security) - [Block 64 API](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#block-64-api) - [Discovery: General Knowledge](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#discovery-general-knowledge) - [FAQs](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#security) - [Block 64 Discovery](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery) - [New Features & Updates](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [New Features & Updates](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#new-features-updates) - [Combine](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#combine) - [Block 64 Discovery](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery) - [Remote Discovery Agent](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#remote-discovery-agent) - [Combine API](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#combine-api) - [BlockBox Virtual Appliance](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#blockbox-virtual-appliance) [![Logomark - dark](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logomark%20-%20dark.png?width=60&height=96&name=Logomark%20-%20dark.png "Logomark - dark")](http://block64.com) 300 Geary Ave, Toronto, ON M6H 2C5, Canada +1 800-875-5260 [www.block64.com](https://www.block64.com/)
