Scheduled Task Creation - CagService

Overview

This component creates a scheduled task EnsureDattoServiceRunning in Task Scheduler to ensure the Datto RMM service (CagService) starts automatically.

This component performs the following actions for DattoRMM Agent service:

• Verifies service exists on the system
• Sets the service startup type to Automatic
• Configures Windows Service Recovery settings to restart on failure
• Creates a monitoring script that checks service status and restarts if stopped.
• Registers a scheduled task to run the monitoring script at regular intervals (15 minutes for servers, 60 minutes for workstations)
• Attempts to start each service if it's not currently running
• Logs events to the Application event log for monitoring purposes

The script is designed to ensure the DattoRMM Agent service remains operational and automatically recovers from service failures.
