Automated Remote Deployment Script

Overview

The following script takes the Looker files from LookerPreinstallationTool.exe and initializes the Looker instance on the Insights Windows Machine.
Important: Generating the GPG key is not possible using this automation script.
If you initialize Looker on this instance, the password will be generated from the Windows machine and stored in the C:\ProgramData\UiPath Insights folder. You can retrieve the password using the Unprotect-CmsMessage -Path "$ENV:ProgramData\UiPath Insights\LookerSecret command.
If you manually initialize the Looker instance, you can generate the GPG key using the gpg --generate-key command and store it in the Linux VM.
