Intent behind configuring Network Protection but not enabling it in Windows Server Baselines
What is the intent behind the following two settings in the Windows Server 2019/2022 Baseline:
Windows Components\Microsoft Defender Antivirus\Microsoft Defender Exploit Guard\Network Protection | Prevent users and apps from accessing dangerous websites | Block |
| Windows Components\Microsoft Defender Antivirus\Microsoft Defender Exploit Guard\Network Protection | This settings controls whether Network Protection is allowed to be configured into block or audit mode on Windows Server. |
In Windows Server Network Protection is not enabled by default, so when the 2nd setting is left to unconfigured the first setting cannot and does not work.
Why configure it then?
