Rolling out agent via console.

Neil_Evolve

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.

    Hello Neil,

    expect the unexpected, I see ;).
    I've done nothing at that scale, an earlier re-deployment (sans CRT) in a far-from-ideal-but-reasonably-well-behaved domain environment suggests that you should be able to exceed 1k/day with only the really stubborn endpoints left. Depending on career plans, a potential alternate profession, and existing mortgages I'd boast one month, promise two, and prepare for explaining three.
    As you obviously know how to deal with large-scale tasks (and management) there's not much I could contribute. Just - don't let distract you by (in hindsight probably) localised issues.
    [Edit] You will use message relays, won't you?[/Edit]
