#### 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 (i.e., open traffic to the EDR solution's IP addresses), but they will need to connect to the internet later to fully activate EDR, including the alerting system.

   :bulb: If you are using a deployment command via MDM or GPO, remember to include this parameter: *`ProvNoWait=1: WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet /norestart ProvNoWait=1 CID=YOUR-CUSTOMER-ID`*
4. **Unique customer identifier**. Each IT infrastructure has a unique customer identifier (CID), valid for all your servers and computers. You will find it in `MDR` > `Settings`.
