Study Notes
Endpoint Central
- Endpoint Central is a centralized platform for managing and deploying software and configurations to numerous endpoints (computers, mobile devices).
- It provides a unified interface to manage various endpoint aspects: software deployments, security configurations, and patch management.
- Administrators use a central console to monitor deployed endpoint health, status, and performance.
- Features include endpoint inventory for tracking devices, software installations, and user activity. This enables comprehensive endpoint lifecycle control.
Tools
- Tools within Endpoint Central automate software deployments, configurations, and patching across endpoints.
- Tools often include automated patching, software deployment, configuration management (e.g., scripting, group policies), and monitoring/reporting for deployment progress and endpoint health.
- Tools are integrated for a smooth workflow.
- Customization and extensibility features allow for unique needs-based device management.
Agent
- An endpoint management agent resides on each managed endpoint.
- It facilitates communication between the endpoint and the central server.
- Key agent functions include polling for commands, software deployment, and reporting endpoint status.
- This agent lets Endpoint Central gather device data, remotely execute instructions, and make adjustments.
- Agents are the crucial link between the central platform and individual endpoints.
Configurations
- Endpoint Central enables customizable configurations across endpoints for consistent settings and policies.
- This involves managing operating system configurations (user accounts, security policies), software configurations (licensing, permissions, access limits), and application configurations (e.g., database settings).
- Standardized configurations for software and devices maintain a consistent network environment.
- Configurations frequently use templates or scripts for efficient deployment and management.
Admin
- Administrators use Endpoint Central to manage endpoint deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of software and configurations.
- Admins control configuration management in Endpoint Central, device inventory, patches, user access, etc.
- User role management within Endpoint Central controls access levels.
- Admins can enforce organization-specific security policies.
OS Deployment
- Endpoint Central facilitates operating system deployments to endpoints.
- Automated OS imaging (copying the OS to the endpoint) is common.
- It also deploys software required to use the deployed OS.
- OS deployment often uses scripting and automation for efficiency.
- Managing OS images ensures consistent endpoint setups.
