The Tanium endpoint makes a connection to the Tanium Server, the endpoint's copy of the Tanium Server's public key is used to verify the validity of the registration day coming from the Tanium Server.

If any endpoint systems do not have the correct Tanium Server public key in its configuration, they will not perform any instructions from the Tanium Server and a record of those endpoints will be listed in the Tanium Server's System Status.

To validate, Click on the navigation button (hamburger menu) on the top left of the console.
