FAQ

Q: Where do I get the Invite Code and Deployment Key?
A: From the Banyan Command Center → Settings → App Deployment.

Q: What if Invite Code or Deployment Key are not set in EDFs?
A: Provide INVITE_CODE and DEPLOYMENT_KEY at runtime; runtime parameters override EDFs.

Q: How do I exclude a specific location or computer from deployment?
A: Set the EDF "Exclude Banyan App Deployment" at the Location or Computer level to true.

Q: How can I verify the client installed successfully?
A: Check the CWA job output, the endpoint's installed applications list, or look for the Banyan service/process on the target machine.

Q: Can this deploy to air-gapped devices?
A: No — targets must be able to download the installer and reach Banyan endpoints. For air-gapped devices use an offline installer and a different deployment workflow.

Q: What OS versions are supported?
A: The official Banyan install scripts support current Windows, macOS, and common Linux distributions. Confirm compatibility with Banyan documentation before mass deployment.

Q: How often should the monitor run?
A: It covers 50 machines per hour.

Q: Will this update automatically migrate existing Banyan App installations to SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge? A: Yes. The updated script is designed to recognize existing installations and transition them to the rebranded SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge application.
