In the "New Script" window, fill in the following required fields:

  • Script Name: Enter DefensX Agent

  • File Type: Select .ps1

  • Script Description: Enter DefensX Agent Installer

In the Script Editor, download the DefensX_Generic_v1.2.ps1 script from the right panel, then copy and paste its contents into the editor window.

Customizing the Script:

Atera RMM supports environment variables, which you can insert into the script during execution. Modify the $DX_Key = "" line to $DX_Key = "{[defensx_key]}" and click on the Create button to create the script.

Using the Script to Install DefensX Agent:

When running the script, Atera RMM will prompt you to enter the defensx_key. You can find the Deployment Key by navigating to the Policies page for the specific customer in the DefensX Backend. Copy and paste the key when prompted.

Note
 Atera RMM has built-in support for software uninstallation. Since the DefensX Agent is installed via a standard MSI package, you can manage the uninstallation through Atera’s standard process. If you prefer to create an uninstallation script, refer to the relevant KB article here
