Windows managed enterprise guidance moved

The complete Windows managed-enterprise lifecycle now lives in the cross-platform enterprise deployment guide.

The complete Windows service, guardian, policy, repair, upgrade, and removal lifecycle lives in Enterprise hardening and deployment. This route remains as a compatibility pointer for existing bookmarks.

Windows system-service layout

Start with the Windows architecture, qualified connectors, policy, and target manifest.

Install Windows services

Run the administrator-owned installer and verify all four SCM services.

Reconcile and verify targets

Repair enrolled per-user connector hooks and read back readiness.

Repair, upgrade, and remove

Use the transactional managed lifecycle rather than the per-user Setup.

The ordinary per-user Windows package remains separate and never installs a service. Use Install and maintain for that package.
