ABOUT MANUAL INSTALLS:

If you manually installed kav with the process above, please make sure you complete the steps by doing a connect install:

We do not recommend following this process unless you are experiencing issues with the module.

 

Final Note: If this procedure fails or does not do what it's supposed to, that is likely a problem on the endpoint because this has been tested in our environments without issue. PLEASE be aware, "Kaseya support does not actively do custom scripts".This was created in hopes of automating a task and support will not be able to modify it in any way. THIS IS A SCRIPT AS-IS.
