Managing Windows defender using SCCM 2012 R2

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Based on technet article (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh508770.aspx) ,you do not need SCEP client installed on Windows 10 machines in order to manager anti-malware policies. However, the behavior I have seen is quite different.

 

Windows 10 Client A:

 

  • SCEP is not installed.
  • Can confirm that policy applied from reg key HKLM\software\microsoft\ccm\epagent\generatedpolicy.
  • SCCM console under client summary -> Endpoint Protection Deployment information -> Deployment State: "To be Installed" instead of "managed"
  • On client under security -> windows defender , I have ability to add exclusion
  • Defender console doesn't have any policy name

 

Windows 10 Client B:

 

  • SCEP client is installed
  • all policy applied
  • Deployment state under client summary is "managed"
  • Defender GUI has policy names listed

 

Based on above testing, I believe that we do need SCEP clients on Windows 10 devices in order to managed Windows defender and SCEP client will work as a bridge between Defender and SCCM.

 

has anyone got this issue ? or I am missing something here? there is not much explanation from Microsoft regarding managing Windows 10 clients.

 

any help would be appreciated,

 

Thank you

Bav,
