Deploying and Onboarding 2008 R2
Hi all,
We purchased Defender for Business Servers, and i need to install it on some 2008 R2 servers. There is no Defender for Endpoint software, so following the guides, i only have to install the MMA, but then how i know my server is protected? i need to enroll it at azure?
Our servers are on-premise, and i don't know if i need to use Azure Arc (i need to pay?), anyone is using Defender for Windows Servers (On-Premise) with 2008 R2 version?
Thanks in advance
- you have to apply all the security recommendations that M365 endpoints is suggesting but take into consideration any setting may that affect your production on this server. the security recommendations will harden your server from any attack .

- yes, i already did it, but that's only for MMA (send analytics to Azure). After that how i protect our 2008 R2, what i need to do?
Thanks!jriaza now you start seeing any Security recommendations and weakness related to that server in the M365 Endpoints portal? the device will appear in the list of devices and within hours you should start seeing results to what to do in that server
