Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Delete and recreate the endpoint agent installation token.
Why it's wrong here
Deleting tokens does not lift isolation on an active agent.
- ✓
Select the endpoint in Endpoints > All Endpoints and click Unisolate.
Why this is correct
The Unisolate action reverses network isolation rules applied by the agent and restores full network connectivity.
- ✗
Reboot the endpoint twice in safe mode.
Why it's wrong here
Rebooting does not remove network isolation rules enforced by the agent policy.
- ✗
Run 'cytool set isolation disable' locally via command line.
Why it's wrong here
Isolation is enforced by the cloud policy and requires console authorization to lift, though emergency local token options exist, the standard procedure is via the console.
