Auto Uninstall Option

It would be ideal to be able to toggle an "auto uninstall" per client and set a policy to remotely delete agent that doesn't check in within 30, 60 or 90 days. Our RMM auto installs DNSFilter so it is an easy re-add if needed. But this would help us keep our counts up to date.

Agent management is something we hear about often, and while there isn't a built-in dashboard option for automatic deletion/uninstall, you can automate cleanup using the API with any standard scheduler. Users even left some full scripts in the comments! Hope this helps 💖

Scheduled Clean-Ups

I mentioned this in a webinar a few weeks ago, it would be nice to have clean-ups as a scheduled task. For example, removing host automatically after X number of days of inactivity.

This would be amazing! Although, my opinion is that they definitely need to make the agent fail open rather than fail close. If you delete an agent from the portal without uninstalling first, it loses internet connectivity.

Remove Roaming Clients automatically after 30 days
Rolando
It would be great to have a feature built into the dashboard where Roaming Clients can be deleted after 30 days automatically if the users of those machines have never checked in. I'm currently using the 'Clean Up' tool as a workaround method.

Agreed that this would be a value add for an admin. A cleanup tool that can be schduled, and with a configuration item for days not checked in.
Leonardo Gevaerd
Same here. We are using Cisco Umbrella and testing DNS Filter and this is a feature in Umbrella that would be great to have.
Jonathan Bullock
I'd immediately switch to this since we have an RMM Job to push/redeploy agents after a machine has checked in and would use this instead of network authentication methods.

I like this idea. We exclusively use the roaming client feature. We have issues with renamed computers, lost/stolen computers and similar.

Agree....if we could have an "uninstall" option from the portal, it will save us a lot of time and headaches. Often times we need to delete an agent from the portal, but the asset may not be online for quite some time, for many reasons. What happens is, if the asset was offline and we deleted it in the portal, the next time the asset boots up it will fail to connect..the local agent will halt things. I have a script in our RMM but that only works if you run it on currently connected assets..and then we delete them from the portal.
