How configuration values are resolved
The agent checksApiKey, OrganizationID, and UserEmail in the following priority order. It uses the first value found:
For how to deploy
USEREMAIL (priority 5), see the guide for your deployment method:
- Microsoft Intune (Step 3: Deploy the email address script)
- Group Policy (GPO) (3.5 Logon Script — USEREMAIL environment variable)

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can employees uninstall the agent on their own?
Uninstalling locally via Windows “Apps & features” is possible. However, this does not stick when Admina Tracker is deployed with a Required assignment in Microsoft Intune. By default, the Intune management agent re-evaluates the assignment roughly every 8 hours. If it detects that the agent is missing from a targeted device, it reinstalls the agent automatically. So even if the agent is uninstalled temporarily, it is restored automatically at the next evaluation. To reapply immediately, open PowerShell as an administrator on the target device and run:API key errors
Admina Tracker has stopped
Admina Tracker starts automatically via Windows Task Scheduler:- Both the agent and updater start automatically upon logon via scheduled tasks. No administrator privileges required.
