Deploy SentinelOne Agent via Intune | Win32 Guide
SentinelOne is an AI-driven EDR platform deployed via a lightweight agent. Like CrowdStrike, the key to deployment is the site token that automatically registers the agent with your management console. This guide covers the full deployment including site token configuration, detection rules, and handling the passphrase requirement for uninstall.
Prerequisites
- A SentinelOne subscription with management console access
- Your Site Token from the SentinelOne console (Settings > Sites)
- Admin access to download the agent from your console
Download the agent installer
Download the Windows agent from your SentinelOne management console:
Settings → Updates → Agent Versions → Download for Windows
Download the latest GA (Generally Available) release for Windows x64. The filename will be SentinelOneInstaller_windows_64bit_
Wrap with the Content Prep Tool
IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c "C:\AppSource\SentinelOne" -s "SentinelOneInstaller_windows_64bit.exe" -o "C:\IntunePackages"
Add the app in Intune
- Upload the .intunewin file
- Name: SentinelOne Agent
- Publisher: SentinelOne, Inc.
Install and uninstall commands
Detection rule
# Detect SentinelOne Agent
$svc = Get-Service -Name "SentinelAgent" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($svc) { Write-Output "Detected: $($svc.Status)"; exit 0 } else { exit 1 }Known gotchas
Agent version folder changes with each update
SentinelOne installs to C:\Program Files\SentinelOne\Sentinel Agent x.x.x.x - the version number is part of the folder name. This means file-based detection rules pointing at a specific path will break when the agent self-updates. Use the service-based PowerShell detection script instead for version-agnostic detection.
Anti-tamper blocking uninstall
If you deploy without configuring a passphrase and later need to uninstall, you will need to generate a one-time passphrase from the console for each device. Set a consistent passphrase in your policy before deployment to avoid this.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use: SentinelOneInstaller.exe /quiet /SITE_TOKEN=your-site-token. The site token links the agent to your SentinelOne management console automatically. Get your site token from the SentinelOne console under Settings > Sites.
Log in to your SentinelOne management console, go to Settings > Sites, select your site, and copy the Site Token shown in the site details panel. Each site has a unique token.
Use a file detection rule: check for SentinelAgent.exe in C:\Program Files\SentinelOne\Sentinel Agent
SentinelOne may require a reboot to load the kernel driver. It typically returns exit code 3010 when a reboot is needed. Set Intune restart behaviour to handle this return code.
