Webcontent Filtering and Smartscreen
Which type of policy are you using to enable network protection?
The exploit guard policy listed here?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/enable-network-protection?view=o365-worldwide#microsoft-endpoint-manager
Does the Powershell command below return a "1" on said devices?
Get-MpPreference | Select "EnableNetworkProtection"
Is realtime protection and cloud based protection enabled, and can devices access the URLS as listed in the document below?

Hi Jonhed,
Correct, the users using onboarded devices are part of the device group which content filtering policy is scoped to.
I am using Microsoft defender antivirus policy.
I also tried Endpoint Protection Policy.
I did confirm Network protection is enabled.
Realtime and cloud protection are both enabled and I am not able to access the test URL motioned in the article. I got "connection blocked notification"
And still I am able to access websites that falls under the category that I have blocked in Microsoft 365 Defender portal web content policy. It is strange...

Does indeed look like it should work..Have you checked if MDAV is running in active mode, and if it is running the latest platform versions?
(Can be seen with the "Get-MpComputerStatus" powershell command)
The pic you pasted shows Smartscreen for apps and files being configured, but have you also activated smartscreen in Edge?
Can you access the sites in both Edge and 3rd party browsers such as Chrome?

SmartScreen in edge is also configured.
I can access the sites from all the browsers.
I logged it with MS. fingers crossed.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
