Rolling out agent via console.

Good afternoon,

I'm scheduling a rollout of Endpoint protection and need to be able to give a rough estimate of timescales involved. I would normally push out on a per site / department approach in batches of 50 aiming for around 300 endpoints per day, but may need to aim for a higher rate due to the numbers involved.

This will be a multi-site deployment and all endpoints will use local servers for the initial install and updates.

As part of the install the incumbent AV will be removed by Sophos CRT.

Is there any guidance around how many installs should be kicked off at the same time and how long the installs can be expected to take? I have around 20 000 endpoints so need to give a reasonable estimate of the time required.

Regards.

  • Hi Christian,

    Thanks for the response.

    That was the answer I was expecting.

    Unfortunately I'm unable to test a batch deployment as I need to give an estimate of timescales before the project starts. I also need to take into account network speeds, endpoint specs and workloads as the software is pushed out and installed, not to mention any problems encountered around uninstalling the incumbent solution.

    Think of a number and double it, I think.

    Regards.
