Defender for Endpoint On-boarding Differences

Hi Ari_R420,

I think what he is discussing in the YouTube clip is this section of the page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/advanced-threat-protection-configure#create-the-device-configuration-profile-to-onboard-windows-devices

Also I guess you are correct and my apologies for directing you in a wrong path and I also have amend my blog post, so thanks for pointing that out 🙂

It sounds like when you set the connection between Defender and Intune, Defender will send the onboarding/ offboarding packages to Intune and you are all set.

You can use the config profiles as a backup but then you must see the options to specify onboarding and offboarding blobs in the settings - meaning the API connection is not successful.

I believe the Endpoint Security > Microsoft Defender for Endpoint >Create a device configuration profile to configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint sensor goes to the same place as Tenant Administration > Connectors and Tokens > Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Hope this clears the issue 🙂

Cheers!
Shehan.
