Defender for Endpoint connection to Intune failure
I'm having strange problems with setting up MDE and specially the connection to to Intune.
- In the Defender portal under Settings > Endpoints > Advanced features, the Microsoft Intune connection seems to be setup but is greyed out:
- When I try to set the Enforcement scope under Settings > Endpoints > Configuration management > Enforcement scope, I get the strange message "Oops! Something went wrong!" and nothing happens
- In the Intune admin center, under Endpoint security, the Defender for Endpoint Connector Status is showed as "not set up":
Al in all, the MDE-Intune connection seems to be somehow corrupt. Also I already onboarded MDE on 2 Windows 11 machines, but they don't show up in the Defender portal. I'm not even getting the Assets > Endpoints section.
How can I delete and re-setup the MDE-Intune connection? Or can I do kind of a "master reset" of the whole MDE environment? Or any hints on further troubleshooting this?
- Yeppee ki-yay...! 🙂
After giving it all a rest for 24 hours, it seems it came all back to normal. I also opened a case from the Defender portal yesterday and maybe MS has fixed something at the backend. Don't know, don't mind, I'm happy it works again.
Thank you for the help rahuljindal

- Do you have the right permissions and licences to do the configuration? If yes, then you may have to open a case from Defender portal to have this fixed from the backend.
- Thank you for the response. Yes, licenses are okay (MDE p2, Intune) and I even temporary got the roles Security Admin and Intune Admin besides the Global Admin...
What is the status for the connector in Intune? Look under Tenant>Connectors. Does it give you the option to delete it?
