If by "issues" you mean surprised users, I might make one suggestion: 
When you setup the agent installer (by login script or whatever means 
you choose) there's an option to enter a "Tag" for each computer. This 
can be something like "2nd floor" or "Science classroom". Then when the 
installer runs on each computer a window pops up asking the user to 
enter their tag. If you run it from login, users will be surprised. On 
the other hand, if you prepare the installer with *no* tag, then the 
window never pops up. And the computers appear in the database with an 
empty tag (which you can edit by hand afterwards).
