MDE apparently blocks MacOS Monterey 12.1 / 12.2 upgrades?
The last days we have encountered a situation where the upgrade to MacOS Monterey 12.1 or 12.2 fails. After several reboots the machine returns to the state before the upgrade started, with the ad...

Thanks a bunch - so it might not be a bug but a feature then.
Not the first time a feature that remains in a "not configured" state leads to unforeseen side effects. We will have a closer look at the DLP settings in Endpoint Manager/Intune.

What bugs me the most right now is that even though I disabled DLP through intune and that the config makes it to the Mac and I see it as disabled in mdatp, the dlpdaemon still continues to run and affect performance. Rebooting doesn't fix it, it starts again on the next boot even though it should be disabled.
So far, the only solution I found is to delete Microsoft Defender and wait for Intune to automatically reinstall it. Once you uninstall it, the dlpdaemon goes away after a few seconds as the Defender services stops and unload.
It's as if once it runs at least one time, it will always run, whether you disable it or not in the config. But if it is not allowed to run when install Defender, it will never run and you're good as it doesn't get configured (or something like that) and it will never run unless you enable it later on.
This is most likely a bug of some sort and I hope they fix it because no way I'm going to go manually on each Mac in the company and remove and then reinstall Defender on each of them, hehehe.
