Example: Adding an endpoint to management after it was previously removed

To add an endpoint to management after it was previously removed:
  1. Consider that the device has been unmanaged and previously removed from management. Go to Network > Managed Endpoints, click the Unmanaged Endpoints view and confirm the endpoint is visible there.

  2. Select the endpoint, select Management Connection > Enable, and click OK to confirm.

  3. Go to Configuration > Users and click Onboard Users.

  4. Set FortiClient Installer to Download.

  5. Under Manual Installer to the right of the Invitation Code field, click the copy icon to copy the invitation code.

  6. On the endpoint, open FortiClient. On the Zero Trust Telemetry tab, paste the copied FortiSASE invitation code and click Connect. The endpoint successfully establishes a zero trust telemetry connection with FortiSASE. Upon connection, FortiClient receives an endpoint policy from FortiSASE. A system tray bubble message displays once the download completes.

  7. Go to Network > Managed Endpoints and click Managed Endpoints. Confirm the endpoint is visible in that view and that the Management Connection is Online. If the endpoint reboots, it continues to establish its zero trust telemetry connection with FortiSASE and receives an endpoint policy each time.
