Does the Device Agent support Golden image installation?

The Device Agent supports to be embedded inside of a golden image. It is only supported for the operating systems where the Device Agent is officially supported.

A Device Agent on a newly deployed template using a golden image will automatically register and
initiate. This allows you to automate the complete process of having the Device Agents running on
any of your devices within your IT environment, both new and existing.

1. Create a new deployment token for Device Agents in Security Center. (How to deploy a new device agent within the Security Center)
   •  This token must be valid when planning this golden image to be active. If
     this token becomes expired, it will stop new Device Agents from being registered using
     this token.
2. Download the Device Agent installer (e.g., MSI) to the device from which you intend to create the
   golden image.
3. Disable and disconnect the network interface on this device to avoid it from registering the Device
   Agent.
4. Install the MSI package installer on the device (while the network interface is disabled and no
   connection is available).
   •  Enter the deployment token and endpoint
5. Finalize the installation.
6. Confirm in config.yaml in the installation directory of the Device Agent that the deployment token
   exists.
7. Done! 

Note: If you need to enable the network interface and enable the connection, stop the Device Agent windows service so it does not run as it should not register itself for the golden image.
