Synopsis

Changes the display name of the LabTech agent in Add/Remove Programs by updating the DisplayName (and optionally the Publisher) registry value under the agent’s Uninstall key. This is useful for white-labeling deployments or presenting a custom name to end users.
Use -PublisherName alongside -Name to fully white-label the entry — both the program name and the publisher column in Programs and Features will reflect your chosen values.

Notes

Rename-LTAddRemove can be called automatically by Install-LTService when the -Rename parameter is provided. The value passed to -Rename is forwarded directly to the -Name argument of this function.
The rename applies to whichever registry key is currently active — if the entry has been hidden with Hide-LTAddRemove, the hidden key is updated so the new name takes effect immediately when the entry is restored with Show-LTAddRemove.
