How to setup Control D using Atera RMM

Suggest Edits

Install

Create Provisioning Code

First thing you have to do is create a Provisioning code in the Control D Dashboard. Go to Provision, and click the + button. Fill out the form, and you should see an install command as well as a button to Download Install Script.

🚧

Expiry Time and Limit

Be sure to select the appropriate expiry time and execution limit for the Provisioning code. When this time passes, or the limit is reached, the code will become invalid and cannot be used anymore to provision new Endpoints. Same applies if you delete this code.


Create a Deployment Script

  • From the Atera UI navigate to New in the top left corner and choose Script.
  • Fill out the required fields as you see fit.

🚧

Permissions

Be sure you've selected System for the Run As option.

  • Paste the Provisioning Script you created in the previous step OR upload the script you downloaded.

  • Save & Exit.

Create Upgrade Script (Optional)

  • Create a new PowerShell script with the following:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://api.controld.com/dl/rmm' -UseBasicParsing).Content | Set-Content "$env:TEMP\ctrld_install.ps1"; Invoke-Expression "& '$env:TEMP\ctrld_install.ps1'

Create Removal Script (Optional)

  • Create a new PowerShell script with the following:
ctrld uninstall -vv


Deploying to Windows Endpoints

  • From the Devices tab - select the endpoints you plan on deploying to and choose Run Script.
  • Choose your Installation Script and adjust your Script Execution Preferences.
  • Run the script.
  • View the progress of your deployment by navigating to Reports --> Classic Reports --> Recent Processes or by viewing an individual endpoint page.

Once your deployment is finished - you should see your Endpoints in the Control D Dashboard.


Deploying to MacOS and Linux Endpoints

MacOS and Linux follow a similar setup method, instead deploying a shell script in place of PowerShell.

  • After creating a provisioning code - copy the 1-liner provisioning command or download the script.
  • From the Atera Dashboard - Create a new script.
  • Paste the 1-liner provisioning script or upload the full script you downloaded.

Create Upgrade Script (Optional)

  • Create a new shell script with the following:
sh -c 'sh -c "$(curl -sL https://api.controld.com/dl)"'

Create Removal Script (Optional)

  • Create a new PowerShell script with the following:
ctrld uninstall -vv
