v3.2Following these enterprise best practices will ensure optimal performance and seamless operation across your fleet.
1
Use Active Directory GPO or Intune for All Workstations
Avoid manual desk-side installs for fleets larger than 10 computers. Use GPO or Intune to ensure new hire laptops automatically get Sentinel upon enrollment.
2
Configure Antivirus Folder Exclusions Early
Always add "C:\ProgramData\Sentinel\" to your EDR / Antivirus exclusions to avoid SQLite database locks.
3
Test Policies on a Staging Group Before Global Rollout
When creating strict USB blocking policies, assign them to a test group first before pushing to executive or engineering teams.
