Change Backup Agent Edition

Using our MSP360 PowerShell Module, you can change the backup agent edition on a single machine or in bulk if you have a way to send a script to all machines at once. In case you are using our RMM Agent, check the Remote PowerShell / Bash Script Execution article.

To perform backup agent edition change, you need to install the MSP360 PowerShell Module and use the Set-MBSAgentSetting cmdlet.

Example 1: Change the backup agent edition to Desktop

Full script:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/JUSAA')+'Install-MSP360Module')
Set-MBSAgentSetting -Edition desktop

In one line:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& {[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; iex (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/JUSAA'); Install-MSP360Module; Set-MBSAgentSetting -Edition desktop}"

Example 2: Change the edition to Server

Full script:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/JUSAA')+'Install-MSP360Module')
Set-MBSAgentSetting -Edition Server

In one line:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command "& {[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; iex (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/JUSAA'); Install-MSP360Module; Set-MBSAgentSetting -Edition Server}"
