- Start a free Lavawall® trial and add your companies.
- Install the Lavawall® agent through your current RMM or any tool that runs a script, move patch policies over company by company, and turn off Automox for the companies that have moved.
- Set up each feature from the table above. The how-to articles to start with: Patch Config, Add/Modify Scripts, Configuration Summary, Remote Support.
