Deploy Umbrella Roaming Client with Kaseya

Cisco Umbrella has Install and Uninstall scripts, and agent procedures for MSPs to deploy the Cisco Umbrella Roaming client using Kaseya VSA. These scripts allow MSPs to import, set up system variables and install the Umbrella roaming client. However, Cisco does not provide comprehensive support for Kaseya. For more information about Kaseya, see Kaseya documentation.

Install Scripts

You can use Required and Optional parameters to configure the appearance and behavior of the roaming client on the Windows device. You are prompted to enter the parameters and the parameters are appended to the msiexec and executed using the shell command.

Required Parameters
Three parameters are required for the execution of the scripts and you are prompted for those values at run or schedule time. You can locate the appropriate deployment parameters in the MSP console on the Customer Management page by expanding the customer card:

  • Organization Fingerprint
  • Organization ID
  • User ID

Optional Parameters
You can use the following optional parameters to change the appearance of the roaming client on the device or control the behavior of the client regarding the internal domains configured in the Cisco Umbrella dashboard:

  • HIDE_UI: Hide the roaming client icon from the system tray of the Windows device to decrease awareness of the roaming client for the end-user.
    • Values:
      • 0 – show system tray icon (default)
      • 1 – hide system tray icon
  • HIDE_ARP: Hide the roaming client from the Add/Remove Program list in Windows to prevent its removal by an end-user with admin rights.
    • Values:
      • 0 – show in list (default)
      • 1 – omit from list
  • NO_AUTOSUFFIX: Do not add domains present in the DNS Suffixes settings in network adapters and networking properties to the Internal Domains list. This parameter is to make the roaming client more aware of local resources and domains on foreign networks.
    • Values:
      • 0 – add the domains (default)
      • 1 – do not add the domains
  • NO_NXDOMAIN: If a DNS query sent to Umbrella returns an NXDOMAIN, query the local DNS servers.
    • Values:
      • 0 – query local DNS servers (default)
      • 1 – do not query local DNS servers

Uninstall Scripts

The uninstall scripts are simple automated scripts that execute a shell command “wmic product where name=’Umbrella Roaming Client’ call uninstall”. This method was sourced from Umbrella Support.
