Baseline settings for VMs
Microsoft Defender ATP security baseline has been optimized for physical devices and is currently not recommended for use on virtual machines (VMs) or VDI endpoints. Which baseline settings are not recommended for VM's?

Do you have any idea on what policies are not optimized for VM?
Security Baseline for ATP remains the same not matter whether you are on VM or in host in most cases, however, in case you observe any policy which might not be suitable for VM, you may share feedback with the team.
Reza_Ameri-Archived thank you. In this document https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-machines-security-baseline it states "The Microsoft Defender ATP security baseline has been optimized for physical devices and is currently not recommended for use on virtual machines (VMs) or VDI endpoints. Certain baseline settings can impact remote interactive sessions on virtualized environments." Which baseline settings are they referring to that can impact those sessions on Virtual environments?
You are correct.

Lindspea Thanks for the question! It looks like you posted it originally in response to the August 7th weekly roundup, which was not the correct place for it, so I moved it to the Microsoft Security Baselines discussion space.
Thanks for understanding and contributing to Tech Community!
EricStarker oops, sorry, I see that now. Thanks for that.
