Intune + Defender - Configure Quick and Full scan
VladanOEI
This one was definitely confusing as hell. I ended up just testing it all myself to see how it behaved.
The following settings relate to a single scan type of your choosing:
"Scan Parameter" Choose Quick or Full
"Schedule Scan Day" Choose Day
Schedule Scan Time" Choose Time
The following is it's own daily quick scan:
"Schedule Quick Scan Time" Pick the time of day that your daily quick scan will run.
If you want a quick scan only once a week, and a Full scan once a week as well, you'll need to apply TWO separate policies and use the following three settings in each policy:
"Scan Parameter" Choose Quick or Full
"Schedule Scan Day" Choose Day
Schedule Scan Time" Choose Time
This will give you a quick scan that only runs once a week in one policy, and a full scan that only runs once a week in the other policy.
I understand this is dumb. But in saying that, the quick scans are not even noticable across my servers. I would advise just running a quick scan daily, and then a scheduled full scan once a week within a single policy.
I hope this makes as much sense as possible on a subject that seems engineered to be confusing.
We made 2 rules.
First rule:
"Scan Parameter" : Quick
"Schedule Scan Day" : Thru
Schedule Scan Time" 9 AM
Second rule:
"Scan Parameter" : Full
"Schedule Scan Day" : Fri
Schedule Scan Time" 9 AM
and Intune Antivirus did not run any of the configured tasks.
Microsoft never knew how to make simple things work properly. They are able to build "towers and cities", something that others cannot, and then they "fall" on such simple things like this.
