Defender AV Security Intelligence and Product Updates for Azure Virtual Desktops
I have persistent AVDs with Defender AV running in passive mode. I need to know what's the default method for Defender AV to receive Security Intelligence Updates and Product updates on these AVDs. Does it automatically reach out to the windows update servers to get updates, or do I need to configure something to setup these updates?
I’m sure the article you linked to is a bit outdated, and the default behavior of Defender AV has changed since then. Defender AV will automatically receive security intelligence updates even if it is running in passive mode.
Product updates, on the other hand, are not automatically installed by default. You will need to configure Defender AV to receive product updates by following the steps in the article you linked to. Once you have configured Defender AV to receive product updates, it will automatically download and install the latest updates when they are available. However, if you are not comfortable configuring Defender AV yourself, you can always reach out to your security agency for help. They will be able to help you configure Defender AV and ensure that your AVDs are properly protected.

I’m sure the article you linked to is a bit outdated, and the default behavior of Defender AV has changed since then. Defender AV will automatically receive security intelligence updates even if it is running in passive mode.
Product updates, on the other hand, are not automatically installed by default. You will need to configure Defender AV to receive product updates by following the steps in the article you linked to.

I hope this helps!
