Confusion on the various endpoint, intune, Microsoft Endpoint manager admin center
Robert
Hey Guys, hoping you could help a little out with this question here. I just want to make sure i have the various portals understood.
Thanks,
Robert
Hi Robert Bollinger,
To make it even more complex, Microsoft announced at ignite that Endpoint Manager is being renamed back to Intune. Which results in the following URL: https://intune.microsoft.com. Everything related to Intune can be managed from that URL in the future.
The Endpoint Security section you're mentioning is still there on the Intune portal and it's not Defender for Endpoint. You can configure policies related to Defender for Endpoint from here, but also other endpoint security related policies like Antivirus, Disk Encryption, Firewall, Endpoint detection and response, Attack Surface Reduction and Account Protection.
Defender for Endpoint itself is managed from https://security.microsoft.com.
I hope this clarifies it a little bit.

Ruud- OK. So I think that helps a little. I can configure a policy for endpoint security either at Intune or endpoint - if I configure the policy in one place it shows up in the other.
Hi Robert Bollinger,
That's correct. Both https://endpoint.microsoft.com and https://intune.microsoft.com are the same portal. In the future https://endpoint.microsoft.com will be removed.
Grtz, Ruud
- I have no insight into the portals used by Intune.
Thanks Tony, do you know who i might be able to ask? I just want to make sure i have it understood.
The Microsoft documentation is ultra confusing. and since the portals keep changing all the time its more difficult than ever to get a clear understanding.
