Mac Offline Agent Deployment
You can install the Agent in offline mode. The Agent is installed but not registered. An ObserveIT service (RegOffline) is responsible for checking the Application server periodically.
Deploying the Agent in Offline Mode
ObserveIT Application Server must be unavailable when you execute the script.
You can run the command locally or push the Agent remotely using JAMF or other mass deployment tools.
(For more information about deploying with JAMF or VMware Airwatch, see Mac Agent Mass Deployment using JAMFor Mac Agent Mass Deployment using VMware AirWatch.)
To execute and run the command locally:
sudo ./observeit-agent-OSX-7.9.1.33.run -- -i -s 10.2.8.15 -m
For example:
sudo /Library/IT/agent/oitcons -check
Detected platform: PASS

ProductVersion: 10.15.4
BuildVersion: 19E287
Check for com.it.pkg.agent package: PASS

When script is finished make sure that only one ObserveIT service (RegOffline) is running:
Preparing a Golden Image
If you want to prepare a golden image, you must complete the deployment offline (Mac Offline Agent Deployment).
Then you can shutdown and prepare your golden image. The Agent will register itself when the Application server is available. This will occur within 5 minutes.
To check an installed Agent's registration and health status, run the command:
sudo /Library/IT/agent/oitcons -check
For example:
The results should look like this:
