Missing Azure Defender GPO Policies missing
- Jul 21, 2021
Hi Community!
Meanwhile, I managed to fix this problem. For some reason, the proper admx/adml files were not placed in the SYSVOL\Policies\PolicyDefenitions folder. Maybe it's because of the template we have chosen from the Azure Marketplace or because the Domain- and Forest functional level is still on Windows Server 2008?
My solution
I have fixed this problem by downloadding the Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 10 1809 (since 1809 is for Windows Server 2019) and placed the following files in the Central Store (SYSVOL\Policies\PolicyDefenitions):- WindowsDefender.admx
- WindowsSecurityCenter.admx
- SmartScreen.admx
- AppHVSI.admx
I have of course placed the language (.adml) files in the SYSVOL\Policies\PolicyDefenitions\en-US folder. After reopening the GPMC I've got the right policies in place.
If you are running into this problem, you now know a possible fix.
