Additional Notes
- The 3.1 Cb Defense sensor provides admins additional control and protection of their endpoints by letting them require a code to uninstall sensors. Admins can now enable a policy setting that protects the action of uninstalling an endpoint by requiring a unique, randomly-generated code.
- After this policy setting is enabled, admins can uninstall a group of sensors by using a company deregistration code, or uninstall sensors on a per-device basis by using an individual device uninstall code.
- At this time there is a known issue when enabling this feature for MacOS 3.1.x Sensor. Additional information and current workaround can be found here: Cb Defense: Controlled Uninstall Doesn't Work With 3.1 Mac Sensor
