Create MDE tenant having only Azure Defender for Servers licenses
Hi Jan,
As per the article, "When you use Azure Security Center to monitor your servers, a Microsoft Defender for Endpoint tenant is automatically created"
Please update if you have referred the section "Enabling the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration" in the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/security-center-wdatp
Balaji_R: I'm not sure if this is the same issue that I'm having. In my case I don't even have an active Defender for Endpoint tenant. And cannot simply create one as there are no "user-based" MDE licenses available - this particular Azure tenant is a pure IaaS environment containing just some Windows Server VMs and an active Azure Defender for Servers subscription (which includes a license for MDE for Servers).
Should I request a MDE trial subscription, assign the MDE license to one of the users in Azure AD (the admin user which is used for administration tasks) and then create the MDE tenant?
