Taegis Endpoint Agent Groups🔗

Important

All Taegis Endpoint Agent settings are now managed within the Group Policies feature.

Use Agent Groups to create groups for organizing and categorizing endpoints based on their characteristics. Each group has an assigned registration key that is used during installation to associate Taegis™ XDR Endpoint Agents to that group and its assigned group policy.

Note

Agent Groups is only available for tenants with the Taegis Endpoint Agent.

We recommend you create groups aligned with your company's grouping methodology prior to deploying the agent. There are two general options:

  • (Recommended) Create groups aligned with your company's grouping methodology and assign the group policy best suited for each group.
  • Use the default group to register agents on all endpoints with one configuration.

To view Agent Groups:

  1. From the Taegis Menu, select Endpoint Agents → Groups.

  2. The Agent Groups table displays any groups currently configured.

Registration🔗

Registration keys are designed to provide secure and controlled access to the Taegis Endpoint Agent. The registration key expiration is used to enhance the security of our agent and protect it from unauthorized use.

Registration Key Expiration and Rotation🔗

The registration key expiration date is displayed on the Agent Groups table and in group settings.

Taegis XDR notifies you 30 days before your registration key expires so you can rotate the key at your convenience. If you do not rotate the key yourself, the system will automatically rotate it 24 hours before expiration and notify you of the change.

Note

Taegis XDR notifies Tenant Administrators via email when a Taegis Agent Group registration key is expiring within 30 days.

Registration Key Expiration Notification

All initial registration keys expire two years after the date they were first generated. Each time the key is rotated, the newly generated key expires after one year. Agents that have already been deployed using the registration key are not impacted.

Update Scripts and Tools🔗

If you have any scripts or tools that rely on the registration key, it is essential to update them with the new registration key to ensure successful registration of future deployments.

  1. From the Taegis Menu, select Endpoint Agents → Groups.
