Onboard using Local script

Hi Defender community,

 

Please can you help me with on technical query regarding Defender for onboarding servers

We have a range of ~50 servers of 2016 to onboard to defender

 

-We are using local script as onboarding method for the servers, will it cause any issue if we use same script and installation package to onboard all 50 servers as it is mentioned as upto 10 devices for local script

 

-Do we need to change the installation package and onboarding script each time after onboarding 10 servers 5 times ?

    I believe you are referring to the following article:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-business/mdb-onboard-devices
    Why are you not trying other methods?
    It is recommended to use this method for up to 10 devices, but you could do it for all 50 servers, however it is not recommended but possible.
    In this scenario it is better to have MEM in place before the deployment.
