Pulseway agent - do not allow uninstallation
You can also uninstall the agent even if the password is set. We either need to have the ability to set via policy to not allow agent uninstallation or not allow uninstalltion without a password.

Calvin LevyThis directly affects ability to control agents reported for billing. We have deleted several on-boarded accounts and they continue to be re-added to the pool.

ZachYou could lock and hide the Pulseway agent then give the user "standard user" control so they can't just uninstall the application. I know it's not perfect but it would work for the time being?

AC_MartinNot sure if this helps, but you can add a registry key to effectively hide the uninstall option in the control panel, and thus prevent users from uninstalling Pulseway Agent:
1 - Open Registry Editor
2 - Expand the following hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{961DDFD8-72C4-436C-99DD-B46EC96EF06D}
3 - You should now see keys related to Pulseway on the right hand side (simply verify this by looking at "DisplayName")
4 - Add a new 32 bit value (DWORD) and name it "NoRemove" without the quotes. Set a hexidecimal value of 1 and then save it.
5 - The uninstall option is now hidden in the Control Panel for Pulseway.
Optional 6 - You can also add NoRepair and NoModify with a hexidecimal value of 1 if you want to prevent those options from the control panel as well.
