Suffolk - Verify RMM Agent

Description

Note: This article only applies to employees in the CCE Suffolk County.

This article describes how to verify that the Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) agent is installed on your workstation and how to install it if it is missing. Having the RMM agent installed is required to remain compliant with Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Suffolk security policies. Instructions are provided for both Windows and macOS workstations.

Note: Your computer may be renamed to comply with Cornell's naming conventions (to be determined). If your computer is renamed, the hostname change could affect configured Server Message Block (SMB) Network scanning. IT will reach out to you to verify workstation assignment for inventory management.
