LabTech PowerShell Module

A comprehensive PowerShell module for managing the LabTech (ConnectWise Automate) agent — install, uninstall, restart, diagnose, and configure agents from the command line.

The LabTech PowerShell Module is a set of cmdlets that interface directly with the LabTech (ConnectWise Automate) agent service on Windows machines. It lets you install, uninstall, restart, update, and diagnose agents entirely from PowerShell — no GUI required.

The module reads and writes to the LabTech registry hive (HKLM:\SOFTWARE\LabTech\Service), communicates with the LabTech server over HTTP/HTTPS, and controls the LTService and LTSvcMon Windows services.

Module version:  1.9.3
Module GUID:     f1f06c84-00c8-11ea-b6e8-000c29aaa7df

Supported versions

The module has been tested against the following LabTech / ConnectWise Automate server versions:

Range	Notes
v10.5 – v12	Legacy on-premises versions
v2019 – v2024	Current ConnectWise Automate releases

The module detects the server version at runtime (via Agent.aspx) and adjusts download URLs and installer behaviour accordingly. For example, the MSI bundle format introduced in 2024 Patch 7 is handled automatically.

PowerShell compatibility

Version	Support level
PowerShell 1	Not supported. The module exits immediately with a warning if $PSVersionTable is absent.
PowerShell 2	Loads and runs. A verbose notice is emitted: “PS2 Detected. PowerShell Version 3.0 or higher may be required for full functionality.”
PowerShell 3+	Fully supported. Recommended for all production use.

# From the module source — version gate at load time
If (-not ($PSVersionTable)) {
    Write-Warning 'PS1 Detected. PowerShell Version 2.0 or higher is required.'
    return
}
ElseIf ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -lt 3) {
    Write-Verbose 'PS2 Detected. PowerShell Version 3.0 or higher may be required for full functionality.'
}

Requirements

All functions that install, uninstall, or modify the agent service require an Administrator PowerShell session. The module checks for membership in the local Administrators group (SID S-1-5-32-544) and throws if the check fails.

• Operating system: Windows only. The module manages Windows services, registry keys under HKLM:\SOFTWARE\LabTech, and native binaries (sc.exe, msiexec.exe, regsvr32.exe).
• Elevation: Run PowerShell as Administrator.
• Network: Outbound HTTPS access to the LabTech server is required for install, uninstall, and update operations.
• .NET Framework: Install-LTService requires .NET 3.5. If it is absent, the module attempts to enable it via Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature or DISM before proceeding.
