I'd recommend writing a script that would download the agent and install it. After a successful installation the script would disable itself.<BR /><BR />By using this method your VM will always have the most recent agent. Also, you can easily script to download the correct installation package for the environment - handy in case the VM image will be used in different environments.</P><BR /> Tue, 12 Nov 2019 15:07:49 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/AMIs-EC2-VMDK-VMX-files-for-VMware-OVF-exports-for-VirtualBox/m-p/125183#M27671 Julius_Loman 2019-11-12T15:07:49Z
