Onboarding your endpoints will be the first in managing and monitoring them. Device onboarding let's IT administrators and teams to add the required devices to their scope and getting started with their endpoint management and security operations. Endpoint Central supports onboarding both traditional devices (which includes servers, desktops, and laptops) and modern devices (which includes mobile devices, Rugged devices, IoT devices, TV, laptops running on Mac; Windows 10; and Windows 11).
To onboard a device, IT administrators should install an agent (for a server, desktop, or laptop) or enroll them to the central server (in case of a mobile device, rugged device, IoT, TV, Hololenses, Surface Hubs, laptop, or Chromebook). Endpoint Central supports a number of methods to onboard a device. Check these pages to learn about the following:
Endpoint Central supports both traditional and modern management capabilities across the supported operating system. While modern devices are associated with modern capabilities and traditional devices with traditional capabilities, modern laptops (laptops running on Mac, Windows 10 and Windows 11) fall into both categories. IT administrators have to onboard these devices twice in order to expose them to Endpoint Central's complete capabilities. However, this process can be automated and achieved in a single step. Read this guide to know more on how to automate and unify this process.
