Defender for Endpoints - Domain Controllers
Hi
What is the correct process for managing and deploying policies for Windows server 2019 domain controllers.
I know that Security settings management doesn't work on and isn't supported on 2019 DCs as per (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/mde-security-integration?view=o365-worldwide#configure-your-tenant-to-support-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint-security-configuration-management
So how do I manage and get policies to a 2019 DC
Thanks
- Hi Fhilp, yes correct and this is by design, intentionally! The recommended way to manage domain controllers is via GPOs.

MDE Security management supports Domain controllers (preview). See important information in Use of security settings management on domain controllers (in this below article)

- DeletedYes the best practies is to manage mde on dc with gpo, security management features is not supported on domain controller.

Hi Heike,
it is supported now right with a right KB installed as per, but still seen some scenarios where the some DC's are unable to complete the synthetic registration, do we know why its failing to create to synthetic registration?
