Silent Install of MDE

Hi,

 

Is there a way to silently install MDE on a device, without any user intervention? A third-party tool will be used on this method, where Intune and local AD GPO are not an option.

 

Thank you!

  • Hi harryz0819 , Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is already built in, means you have the capability, However, since you are looking in to a Business environment, you can onboard defender for M365 Tenant for telemetry, xdr, etc. Which provide you with tools to secure your business environment. You simply can download onboard script from M365 Defender portal (security.microsoft.com - for Businesses) and execute it via your third-party tool  and devices will automatically onboard. Hope this helps.

    Normally MDE onboarding doesn’t require any user interaction on Windows end user operating system. But it will also depend on the capabilities of the device management tool.
