Quick Answer
The answer is manual installation using the installer executable, along with deployment via MSI through Group Policy or SCCM, and third-party RMM tools. These three methods are valid because Cisco AMP for Endpoints on Windows requires a local connector agent to be installed on each endpoint, and the installer executable provides a straightforward, interactive setup for individual machines, while MSI-based deployment through Group Policy or SCCM enables silent, large-scale rollouts across an Active Directory domain. Third-party RMM tools are also supported as they can invoke the installer package remotely. On the Cisco SCOR 350-701 exam, this question tests your understanding of enterprise endpoint security deployment workflows, often appearing as a multi-select item where a common trap is assuming that only Microsoft-native tools like SCCM are valid, while forgetting that any tool capable of executing the MSI or installer—including RMM platforms—qualifies. A useful memory tip is to remember the three pillars of AMP deployment: manual, MSI-based (Group Policy or SCCM), and RMM—any method that places the installer on the endpoint is valid.
This 350-701 practice question tests your understanding of endpoint protection and detection. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which THREE of the following are valid methods to deploy Cisco AMP for Endpoints Connector on Windows endpoints?
Cisco Prime Infrastructure
Why wrong: Prime is for network infrastructure, not endpoint software deployment.
Cisco DNA Center
Why wrong: DNA Center manages network fabric, not endpoint connectors.
Group Policy Software Installation (MSI)
Valid method via AD GPO.
SCCM/Configuration Manager
SCCM can deploy MSI packages to endpoints.
Manual installation using the installer executable
Manual run of installer is a valid deployment method.

Correct answer & explanation
Group Policy Software Installation (MSI)
AMP can be deployed via MSI using Group Policy, SCCM, or manual installation; third-party RMM tools may also be used.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A practitioner preparing for the 350-701 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
