‎Bitdefender active mode , configure MDE passive mode

Hello Saad,

The recommended approach is :

Mutual exclusions:

First, exclude Microsoft Defender from Bitdefender.

Then, exclude Bitdefender from Defender.

This helps avoid conflicts and performance issues between the two antivirus solutions.

MDE Deployment:

For devices managed via Intune, the best method is to deploy MDE using Intune policies.

For devices managed via GPO or SCCM, You can use the new MDE deployment tool.

When you deploy Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Windows devices with Bitdefender Antivirus active, Defender Antivirus will automatically go into passive mode. No interaction is needed on your part.

It’s best to start with a pilot group to test, and then gradually extend the scope to all devices

Thanks,
