300-445 Question 99
Select 4An enterprise organization plans to deploy an endpoint agent for network assurance on thousands of end-user devices, including Windows, Mac, and Room OS devices. Which considerations should the network administrator prioritize to ensure a successful deployment at scale?
- A
Ensuring the endpoint agent is compatible with the operating systems and software versions used across the enterprise
- B
Configuring automated deployment tools like SCCM, JAMF, or MDM solutions to push the endpoint agent at scale
- C
Manually installing the agent on each device to validate installation success
- D
Implementing bandwidth throttling to limit the impact of large-scale agent deployment on network performance
- E
Testing the endpoint agent on a pilot group of devices before enterprise-wide deployment
- F
Disabling endpoint security measures to prevent conflicts during agent installation
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
Deploying an endpoint agent at scale requires careful planning and execution to minimize disruption and ensure compatibility. Prioritizing automated deployment tools, verifying compatibility with devices, testing on pilot groups, and implementing bandwidth management are best practices. Manual installations and disabling endpoint security measures are not scalable or secure approaches.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring compatibility is critical to avoid failures or errors during and after the deployment process. The endpoint agent must work seamlessly with the operating systems used by the organization.
- B. Correct.
Using automated deployment tools ensures scalability and efficiency, enabling the network administrator to deploy the agent to thousands of devices with minimal manual intervention.
- C. Incorrect.
Manually installing the agent on each device is highly inefficient and impractical for large-scale deployments, especially in enterprises with thousands of devices.
- D. Correct.
Bandwidth throttling helps to avoid network congestion during large-scale deployments, ensuring that other business-critical applications remain unaffected during the rollout.
- E. Correct.
Testing the endpoint agent on a smaller pilot group allows administrators to identify and resolve any issues before scaling the deployment across the entire organization.
- F. Incorrect.
Disabling endpoint security measures is not recommended, as it increases the risk of vulnerabilities and conflicts can often be resolved through proper configuration instead.
