i can see them all in the security console yes, they basically get into mde then theres a gpo that converts to intune but not everyone has a license, should i just remove the manage by intune in the defender section for security center? i mean i will also enroll servers but servers wont be in intune so i dunno how i will manage defender settings without the security console config section

danc186 you can now manage the antivirus policies from the MDE portal using the configuration management policies

The new feature in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint makes it possible to deploy directly configurations from Microsoft Endpoint Manage/ Intune directly to MDE onboarded devices without the need to completely onboard devices into Intune.
