I need clarification from Microsoft regarding the suspicious scheduled task 'MDMMaintenanceTask':

Is that a malicious scheduled task or just a typographical error globally?

I would greatly appreciate any comments you may have.

    @EnterpriseArchitect, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based as I know, the scheduled task "MDMMaintenanceTask" is not a malicious scheduled task. It is a scheduled task when we configure Group Policy setting Enable automatic MDM enrollment using default Microsoft Entra credentials to do GPO enrollment.

    Autoenrollment scheduled task.

    Hope the above information can help.
