Microsoft Defender ATP now in preview on Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session
limaecho 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!!- limaecho No worries, we are happy to help. Once the device (or VM) is enrolled all users that connect benefit from MDATP. This can be through MDATP or ASC.
