Guidance on specifying the day for a scan or keeping it randomized
We're configuring scanning options and can't find much guidance on this option: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/schedule-antivirus-scans-group-policy?view=...

I'll be interested to see what others say. AFAIK orgs try to schedule them in a relatively dead time in the schedule. I don't think the scans take that long, but there can be a performance impact so people try to avoid running them during peak usage.
