Nodinite v7 – Portal-Based Updates (Recommended)
In Nodinite v7, updating agents is automated through the Portal-based scripted installation. This modern approach:
✅ Automates agent updates via PowerShell scripts
✅ Configures multiple agents simultaneously with consistent settings
✅ Eliminates manual MSI installations and reduces human error
✅ Centrally manages all environments from the Portal
Follow the Install Nodinite v7 or Update Nodinite v7 guide to update agents using the Portal-based approach. The Portal generates PowerShell scripts that install and configure agents automatically.
