Onboarding devices to Microsoft Defender for endpoint

Question

Hi team,

Could you please send me steps on how to manage security settings through Defender for endpoint. Also, we don't want to enroll devices to intune, we just want to manage them through Defender.

Thank you for your help.

@Jennifer, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

To onboard devices to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, different endpoints have different methods. If Microsoft Intune is not your choice, you can choose other deployment tool to do it. Here is a link with more details:
