Hi there! 👋 I'm helping out a small private school in my "spare" time that has ~30 people on staff, plus around 200 students (with plans to grow). I've been a fly-on-the-wall watcher of fleet for a while, but now I'd like to try it. We have a pretty small network, about 30-50 systems total, mostly Windows. Looking at the website it seems like Windows is a Premium only feature? I'd love some guidance!

Hey @Josh Langner! Glad Fleet caught your eye :) While Windows MDM will bea Premium feature, all of the core Fleet functionality is available for Windows in the Community version. That includes scheduled and ad-hoc queries, software inventory, vulnerability processing, and policies. What all are you looking to do with Fleet?

I'm looking to manage the fleet of devices we have 🙂
Policies is the primary feature I'd want to start, but I'm curious how those work without MDM on the Community version?
k
Policies in Fleet are used for detection rather than enforcement, so there isn’t any additional functionality outside of what’s available in osquery in order for them to function.

Nice, good enough actually 😁
Thanks for the assistance!

I lost a *needed in there somewhere :) Happy to help, have fun with Fleet!
