Onboarding 2019 Hyper-V
Hi, appreciate this is an old post but wondered if you ever got any answers? Not much around the web on this scenario!
I am in the same position of trying to onboard hyper-v 2019 servers and assume they are not supported due to the lack of info!?
Thank you
- Hi Kelly,
1. Do you observe any error while on-boarding?
2. Please let us know if you have tried all the steps mentioned in the article - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/troubleshoot-onboarding?view=o365-worldwide
Thanks,

I can't seem to find anything stating Hyper-V 2019 is supported or not for Defender for Endpoint. I do not see the sense service installed. When running the onboarding script, our output is below.
Just wondering if you ever got this to work.This script is for onboarding machines to the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint services, including security and compliance products. Once completed, the machine should light up in the portal within 5-30 minutes, depending on this machine's Internet connectivity availability and machine power state (plugged in vs. battery powered). IMPORTANT: This script is optimized for onboarding a single machine and should not be used for large scale deployment. For more information on large scale deployment, please consult the MDE documentation (links available in the MDE portal under the endpoint onboarding section). Press (Y) to confirm and continue or (N) to cancel and exit: Y Starting Microsoft Defender for Endpoint onboarding process... Testing administrator privileges Script is running with sufficient privileges Performing onboarding operations Starting the service, if not already running Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Service has not started yet Waiting for the service to start [Error Id: 15, Error Level: 1] Unable to start Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Service. Error message: The service name is invalid. For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=822807 Press any key to continue . . .- The documentation still does not specify whether Defender for Endpoint is supported on Hyper-V hosts. Would be great to know if anyone has made this work.
- I'm also unable to onboard on Hyper-V Core Server 2019
- Same here, we have 4 servers unable to onboard, all Hyper-V Server 2019 Core.
Running "sc query sense" confirms that the service is not installed on the server.
Anyone from MS reading this care to confirm if this scenario is supported or not?
surferstylee thanks so much for the update. I guess that puts the issue to bed once and for all although its disappointing to see that Hyper-V servers cannot be protected.

Let me clarify (or complicate) the issue a bit more by saying that the "note" is referring specifically to Hyper-V Server Editions and not servers that are running the Hyper-V service itself.
