What blades have to be enabled on the Management Server for the Endpoint Security Management...

For the Endpoint Security Management Server to operate, theComplianceandNetwork Policy Managementblades must be enabled. This is indicated in theCP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdfon page 23 under "Endpoint Security Architecture," where it describes the Management Server as hosting "Endpoint Security policy management and databases," which includes policy enforcement and compliance checking. Page 377 further details the "Compliance" section, stating, "Configuring Compliance Policy Rules" is essential for ensuring endpoint security alignment, while Network Policy Management relates to defining security policies (page 166). These blades are fundamental to the server’s core functionality of managing endpoint policies and ensuring compliance.

Option A ("all gateway-related blades") is incorrect, as gateway blades (e.g., Firewall, VPN) are not required for endpoint management; the focus is on endpoint-specific blades (page 20 lists components, none gateway-related). Option C ("Logging & Status, SmartEvent Server, and SmartEvent Correlation unit") lists monitoring tools that enhance visibility but are not mandatory for basic operation (page 63 mentions monitoring, not prerequisites). Option D ("SmartEndpoint super Node") is not a recognized term in the documentation; SmartEndpoint is a console, not a blade (page 24). Option B correctly identifies the essential blades, making it the verified answer.
