MDATP for servers pre-requisites
Anyone know if Configuration Manager is required to deploy and manage Defender ATP Antivirus on Windows and Linux servers.
I know Intune can be used to manage Windows 10 devices. However, my question is specifically for servers using MDATP antivirus.
- You don't need SCCM perse, it's just that not all servers OS versions support Microsoft Defender AV.
This article does a good job on where MDAV is supported and what the alternatives are if you don't use SCCM
