Deploy the EDR

Basic rules for deployment

Here are the key points to keep in mind for a smooth and trouble-free deployment of Stoïk MDR:

1. No restart required. Neither your servers nor user workstations need to be restarted. EDR deployment is simple and requires no service interruption.

2. Uninstall any existing antivirus software before deployment. To avoid conflicts between EDR and any existing antivirus software, we recommend uninstalling any antivirus or similar solutions before installation.

3. Immediate internet connection not required. Endpoints can be installed offline, but will need to connect to the internet later to fully activate the EDR.

   • If deploying via MDM or GPO, add ProvNoWait=1 to the install command: WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet /norestart CID=<customer_ID> ProvNoWait=1
