Deployment Representatives

A Deployment Representative is a device in your network that has the Ivanti Neurons Deployment Representative Agent installed on it. The Deployment Representative Agent should be installed on one device per subnet within your environment. The Deployment Representative is the only device that can be used for the capabilities that require credentials; deployment, remote inventory and SNMP discovery.

For details on selecting a default Deployment Representative for multiple subnets, refer to Edit Policy Group Details.

Deployment Representative Agent

Use case: You want to discover all devices on your corporate network and automatically deploy agents to devices using Ivanti Neurons Platform.

Download the Deployment Representative Agent from either:

  • Admin > Agent Policy > Download Deployment Representative Agent button
  • Admin > Discovery > Discovery homepage

Before installing the agent check the prerequisites in Agent Management.

To install the Deployment Representative Agent

  1. In the Ivanti Neurons Platform navigate to Admin > Agent Policy.
  2. On the Policy Groups page, select Download Deployment Representative Agent to open the Generate Enrollment Key dialog.
  3. The Generate Enrollment Key dialog displays. An enrollment key is generated in the options file to register with Ivanti Neurons. The enrollment key is based on the number of devices on which you want to install the agent, and the date that installation must be completed by.
    Note: If the number of devices or the date is exceeded you will need to generate a new enrollment key to register further agent installations with the Ivanti Neurons tenant.
  4. Number of devices: Enter the total number of devices on which to install the agent, these will become your Deployment Representative devices.
  5. Date: Enter a date by which the all Deployment Representatives must have enrolled with your Ivanti Neurons tenant. The expiry date defaults to 30 days, but can be set up to a maximum of 1 year. Select the date from the calendar.
  6. Select Download Deployment Representative Agent.
  7. Once the files (IvantiCloudAgent.exe and IvantiCloudAgent.exe.options) have downloaded, run the executable file and follow the on-screen instructions. The device with the agent installed becomes a Deployment Representative.
