about_ConnectWiseAutomateAgent SHORT DESCRIPTION PowerShell module for managing the ConnectWise Automate (formerly LabTech) Windows agent. LONG DESCRIPTION The ConnectWiseAutomateAgent module provides cmdlets for installing, configuring, troubleshooting, and managing the ConnectWise Automate agent on Windows systems. This module is primarily used by Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who use ConnectWise Automate as their Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform. DUAL NAMING CONVENTION All functions use the CWAA prefix (e.g., Install-CWAA) and also declare backward-compatible aliases using the legacy LabTech naming convention (e.g., Install-LTService). Both names work identically.
