Synopsis

Removes the LabTech agent’s DisplayName registry entry from Add/Remove Programs so it no longer appears in the installed programs list. Specifically, the function sets the SystemComponent registry value to 1 under the agent’s Uninstall key, which is the standard Windows mechanism for suppressing a program from Programs and Features.
Use this during silent deployments where you don’t want end users to see or uninstall the agent. The agent continues to run normally — only its visibility in the installed programs list is affected.

​
Syntax

Hide-LTAddRemove [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

​
Parameters

​
WhatIf
SwitchParameter
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs without actually making any changes. Alias: wi.
​
Confirm
SwitchParameter
Prompts for confirmation before applying each registry change. Alias: cf.
This cmdlet also accepts the common PowerShell parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable.

​
Examples

Hide the agent from Add/Remove Programs: 
Hide-LTAddRemove
Preview what would change without making modifications: 
Hide-LTAddRemove -WhatIf

​
Notes

Hide-LTAddRemove can be called automatically by Install-LTService when the -Hide switch parameter is provided. You do not need to call it separately after a fresh install if you pass -Hide to Install-LTService.
To reverse this operation and make the agent visible again, use Show-LTAddRemove.
