Thanks Antonio Vasconcelos
Just clarifying some feedback on Item #1
For creating the Security Baseline profile in Intune - this looks simple enough via:
https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Intune_Workflows/SecurityBaselineMenu/securityBaselines
But once I review the settings under Microsoft Defender it is easy to see how this can be changed to either Audit mode or Block but what I wasn't seeing is how to add the ASR Exclusion rules once they have been identified by running in Audit mode? (here there are only 10 rules)
I then went back and reread the instructions at - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/enable-attack-surface-reduction#group-policy and realised that I needed to create a new "Endpoint Protection" profile under Device Configuration profiles (here are the full 15 rules)
https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/DeviceConfigMainMenuViewModel/deviceConfiguration
So please be aware that it looks like the ASR Rules are surfacing in two locations in Intune - and it's under the Security Baseline where it appears to be incomplete where there is no place to submit the Exclusion Files/Paths? It might be that this area is still a "Work in Progress" but the Security Baseline would appear to be a more natural home for these settings perhaps?
