Register Passive Agents to SolarWinds Platform

This script will register a passive agent, then scan for resources, and automatically import the resources.

You'll need the following information for registering an agent (outlined within the script as well):

Agent Name
Agent Hostname
Agent IP Address
Agent Port
Polling Engine ID
Shared Secret
Proxy ID
Auto Update Enabled

Tested with SolarWinds Platform 2022.2.0 and agent 2022.2.0.1952. Currently only tested on a Windows agent as a target, but there's no reason it should not work for a Linux target.

Comments abound, but you are welcome to try it yourself.

The Shared Secret for MSI deployed is an empty string (it's documented in the script).

# Passive Agent Details
# -------BEGIN-------
$agentName = 'TestingWindows'
$agentHostname = 'WIN-9U6765CNCDDCP'
# recommend using the IP for the hostname as well if domain name resolution won't work
$agentHostname = '192.168.21.211'
$agentIpAddress = '192.168.21.211'
$agentPort = 17790 # default
$pollingEngineId = 1 # primary polling engine, otherwise get the ID from the Orion.Engines entity
$sharedSecret = '' # empty for MST-deployed agents
$proxyId = 0 # if you are using no proxy, otherwise get the ID from the Orion.AgentManagement.Proxy entity
$autoUpdateEnabled = $false # default is typically $true
# --------END--------

What if agents were deployed with GPO (msi+mst)?
