You can use mobile device management (MDM) solutions to configure Windows 10 devices. Defender for Endpoint supports MDMs by providing OMA-URIs to create policies to manage devices.

For more information on using Defender for Endpoint CSP, see, WindowsAdvancedThreatProtection CSP and WindowsAdvancedThreatProtection DDF file.

Before you begin

Devices must be enrolled with Intune as your Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.

For more information on enabling MDM with Microsoft Intune, see Device enrollment (Microsoft Intune).

For more information on using Defender for Endpoint CSP, see, WindowsAdvancedThreatProtection CSP and WindowsAdvancedThreatProtection DDF file.

Note

  • The Health Status for onboarded devices policy uses read-only properties and can't be remediated.
  • Configuration of diagnostic data reporting frequency is only available for devices on Windows 10, version 1703.
  • Onboarding to Defender for Endpoint will onboard the device to Data Loss Prevention (DLP), which is also a part of Microsoft 365 compliance.

Run a detection test to verify onboarding

After onboarding the device, you can choose to run a detection test to verify that a device is properly onboarded to the service. For more information, see Run a detection test on a newly onboarded Microsoft Defender for Endpoint device.

Offboard devices using Mobile Device Management tools

For security reasons, the package used to Offboard devices expires seven days after the date it was downloaded. Expired offboarding packages sent to a device are rejected. When downloading an offboarding package, you're notified of the package's expiry date, and the date is included in the package name.

Note

To avoid unpredictable policy collisions, onboarding and offboarding policies must not be deployed at the same time on a device.

  1. Get the offboarding package from the Microsoft Defender portal as follows:

    1. In the navigation pane, select Settings > Endpoints > Device management > Offboarding.

    2. Select Windows 10 or Windows 11 as the operating system.

    3. In the Deployment method field, select Mobile Device Management / Microsoft Intune.

    4. Select Download package, and save the .zip file.

  2. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a shared, read-only location that can be accessed by the network administrators who'll deploy the package. You should have a file named WindowsDefenderATP_valid_until_YYYY-MM-DD.offboarding.

  3. In the Microsoft Intune admin center, you can use a custom configuration policy or an EDR policy.
