IaaS Anti-Malware agent VS MDE

We have this old agent deployed with every windows VM. 

 

We have learned this is no more then enabling Anti-Malware on down-level Windows versions. There is also a Legacy AntiMalware solution on the workspace that has these VM's connected through the old MMA agents

 

We have the MDE.extension deployed by using the UNIFIED SOLUTION on our subscripitons.

 

Can we remove this agent if we only use 2016 and up servers.

Can we safely remove this extension from our machines? 
Can we safely remove the solution from our workspace?

    Hey TDRAA 

     

    If you are using MDE.extension MDE will already be installed on your servers - you can check by seeing the VM extension health to see if it is healthy or not under VM > Extensions

     

    Virtual machine extensions should keep MDE up-to-date with the latest verison of MDE

     

    in regards to the solution from your workspace, you can safely remove it

     

    Hope this helps
