The answer is that you must install the AMP for Endpoints connector on each target system and assign an AMP policy to that connector via Group Policy. These two requirements are fundamental because the connector is the agent that performs local detection and enforcement, while the Group Policy assignment ensures the connector receives the correct security configuration—such as exclusions, cloud communication settings, and malware actions—from Active Directory. On the Cisco SCOR 350-701 exam, this topic tests your understanding of how to integrate endpoint security with Windows domain management, often appearing as a multiple-select question that tries to trick you with unnecessary steps like installing on a domain controller or blocking outbound HTTPS, which would actually break the connector’s cloud connectivity. A common trap is assuming all endpoints must be domain-joined; remember that Group Policy can apply via local policy to non-domain machines. Memory tip: “Install and assign—two steps to align.”
350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
This 350-701 practice question tests your understanding of endpoint protection and detection. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. 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 TWO are required to successfully deploy Cisco AMP for Endpoints in a Windows domain environment with Group Policy?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Install the AMP connector on each endpoint
Options A and D are correct. The AMP connector must be installed (A) and the policy must be assigned (D). Option B (install on a domain controller) is not required; the connector can be on any endpoint. Option C (configure firewall to block outbound HTTPS) would break connectivity. Option E (join all endpoints to the domain) is not strictly necessary; Group Policy can apply to non-domain machines via local policy.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✓
Install the AMP connector on each endpoint
Why this is correct
The connector must be present to enforce policies.

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
Configure the firewall to block outbound HTTPS traffic
Not required; domain controllers can be endpoints but not necessary for deployment.
✓
Assign an AMP policy to the connector via Group Policy
Why this is correct
Policy distribution is typically done via Group Policy.

✗
Ensure all endpoints are joined to the domain
Why it's wrong here
Group Policy can be applied locally to non-domain machines.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
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
How to think about this question
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.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
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.
