MicrosoftMicrosoft Defender ATP now in preview on Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session
I agree, the ambiguity around product releases and public preview and trials is just getting out of hand at Microsoft!
Try and get answers from MS Distributors and they are in the same boat. Product Team you guys are doing a great job in getting new products out - but why not feed info to your users (beta users) on how to go about deploying new products.
We are looking at E5 users or standalone Defender Advanced Threat Protection. But have no clarity on how licensing in WVD will be compliant/work!
Microsoftlimaecho Jeff_Bryant I've checked it's part of your existing E5 per User licensing. A user needs have a valid E5 license when accessing a session on Win10 Enterprise multi-session. A license is only used when an user has an active session. With per User licensing you always have access to concurrent 5 devices (or sessions).
Hi Pieter so if I install ATP on my Session Host Image and deploy session host using that. Then I have one user that has a Microsoft 365 Premium license and another user that has Microsoft 365 E5 license - are you saying that the user session with Microsoft 365 Premium licence will not be protected?

limaecho It's the same as with physical devices. If a device is enrolled in MDATP the user that access it needs a valid E5 license. This is in order to be compliant from a licensing perspective.
- Thanks - apologies as MDATP is a new product and I am yet to get my trial activation email - so not really skilled in understanding how it works on physical devices.
What if we put the session host in Azure Security Center - I believe VM protection in Azure Security covers MDATP? Would that cover all user sessions connecting to the host?
Its all a bit confusing!!
