How can you prevent a RSD sensor from installing on a managed system?

• A. Add system to blacklist
• B. Add system to whitelist
• C. Disable RSD service remotely
• D. Uninstall the management agent

Answer: (A)

Blocking installation through a blacklist is the precise way to prevent the RSD sensor from being installed on a specific managed system. When a host is blacklisted in ePO, deployment tasks skip that system, so the sensor never gets pushed to it. This targets the issue at the policy level without altering the agent on other machines or requiring post-install work.

Whitelisting would invert the logic—only systems on the whitelist would be eligible for installs, which isn’t appropriate for blocking a single system. Disabling the RSD service remotely wouldn’t stop the initial installation attempt and uninstalling the management agent is too drastic and removes centralized control.
