Deployment & evaluation
Evaluate the fit.
Prepare the rollout.
For IT teams in small and midsize organizations: agree what to evaluate, prepare a representative device group and review the results before expanding.
A console walkthrough can answer product questions before you install an agent.
Before installation
Prepare the
first device group.
Check permissions, connectivity and existing controls before installing the agent.
- Your endpoint estate
- Describe the devices, operating environments and working patterns in scope.
- Installation permissions
- Windows agent installation requires administrator permissions. Arrange the installation owner, software-distribution method and an appropriate change window. Review any restart prompt from the installer.
- Connectivity
- Check service access, proxy settings and network restrictions. Verify that the first enrolled devices report to the correct organization.
- Existing tools and policies
- Review current endpoint controls, device-management tools and deployment restrictions. Agree groups and policy assignments for the first devices.
Installation & enrollment
Check the setup
before expanding.
An authorized administrator obtains the agent package and enrollment details from the organization’s Sentinel workspace.
Sign in to SentinelPrepare the agent package
Obtain the approved agent package and enrollment details from Devices. Confirm the target organization and the devices in scope.
Install and enroll the endpoint
Run the approved Windows package with administrator permissions and follow its completion instructions. Use the enrollment token supplied by an authorized administrator to enroll the device into the intended organization.
Verify the device in the console
Check that the device appears in the expected organization, reports a recent check-in and has the intended group and policy assignment. Follow up reporting gaps before adding more devices.
A focused evaluation
Agree what
you need to learn.
Decide which questions the evaluation must answer and what would justify a wider rollout.
Discuss your evaluationDefine the scope and owners
Agree the devices, access, evaluation duration, reviewers and operating constraints. Set success criteria before starting.
Review the evidence and workflow
Check device reporting, available process and file context, investigation ownership and policy visibility. Use an agreed demonstration scenario to review findings and an authorized response workflow.
Record the outcome
Record answered questions, unresolved gaps and support needs. Compare the findings with plan scope and commercial terms before deciding whether to expand.
