Yes, at the time I wrote the article you needed to open outbound 443 and 4222 (nats) from agent to RMM to work. In latest releases only 443 is needed.
Agents need also to communicate with https://icanhazip.tacticalrmm.io/ to get public IP info. Unsigned agents need to access https://github.com/amidaware/rmmagent/releases/*.

Yes, you can keep it on the DC. You don’t need to install XCA since it’s portable. If you are running a virtual environment it is convenient to create a detachable hard drive which you can use to keep XCA and its database on it.

If you want to change the value of certain attributes for a large number of objects in Active Directory, you can automate this process with PowerShell. While this is fairly straightforward for single values, more effort is required for multivalued attributes.

Maybe you could look into LPIC DevOps Tools Engineer. https://www.lpi.org/our-certifications/devops-overview
I think is pretty new because there are no study books ready. When buying LPIC-101 and LPIC-102 exam vouchers I got the DevOps tools voucher for free but it seems there’s a lot of study to pass the exam, since there are plenty of technology and tools involved, from Ansible to K8/Docker Swarm, etc. However I think this is a good base for understanding the devops world and be confident with contemporary and future tools.

1) In this case settings are defined in the tool. Security is a link that unfortunately can’t be overridden. If you want the user to have calculator, notepad, etc… you’ll have to define them in composer.
2) You can avoid agent install by putting the agent folder on an UNC path (i.e. mydomainnetlogoncomposeragent and in the GPO call the executable. But you have to call the after-installation steps of agent in computer logon scripts (i.e. mydomainnetlogoncomposeragentcomposeragent.exe -install ), which creates the DesktopComposer Local user groups and sets ACLs on Common start menu folder.

Hi Leos! Glad to be here 🙂
Installation of agent isn’t strictly required, It is just for convenience because the installer does some tasks, like setting ACL on all user’s menu and adding a user group to the system that can be done also in a machine login script GPO (by calling %agentexecutablefullpath% -install).
Start menu items defined in Composition file will replace both the common start menu and user’s start menu. At startup the agent takes a backup of initial user’s start menu, which will be restored at logoff, when agent is called with switch -decompose.
Cheers!
