When is Enable Randomization activated?

• A. The number of managed nodes exceeds 10,000
• B. The number of managed nodes exceeds 1,000
• C. Activation occurs at enrollment
• D. It is always enabled

Answer: (B)

Randomization is a load-management approach in ePO that spreads out agent check-ins and server tasks so you don’t overwhelm the server when you have many endpoints. The feature is designed to kick in once the fleet reaches a size where simultaneous actions could cause performance spikes. In practice, this activates when the number of managed nodes exceeds 1,000. That threshold makes sense because larger environments benefit from staggering tasks like policy updates and communications to avoid peak loads on both the server and the network. Activation isn’t tied to enrollment, which is about onboarding devices, and it isn’t always enabled, since smaller deployments don’t need the added delay or complexity.
