S'all good! :) Maybe there might be some unexpected behaviour if an admin DOES want to uninstall the agent for some reason, but upon reboot it gets inadvertently re-installed. But then it's up to the admin to remember that they have the logon script and understand how it functions.

Hi StevenSultana ,
After checking with our engineering team, I confirm you can use GPO for the installation but we don't recommend it and advice to use scripts to avoid issues which comes with re-installations.
Therefore, we'll leave the instructions unchanged as they are the best approach.

Hope that helps,
Rémi
