  • /Instance parameter should not be used unless multiple agents are being installed on the same device.
  • /Instance does not support spaces in InstanceName. Use an underscore _ instead.
  • Uninstall the agent silently using the MSI installer 
    • msiexec.exe /qn /x "Path to the MSI installer.msi"
