Great to see the progress. Are there any details available on how this will be licensed? Covered for licensed users under Windows Enterprise E5?

Iron Contributor

Or -- dare I say it -- VDA?

Microsoft

Hi Wes, when get closer to General Availability we will share licensing information. For now: public preview doesn't require a license. One information I can share is, when you have "E5 per user licenses", users can get it for their secondary devices.

Is there a way to monitor and manage more then one domain in combination with Microsoft Defender Security Center? 

Microsoft

Johan_Mol: You can onboard devices from whatever domain you want even non-domain joined devices into one single MDSC portal. However you can´t get signals from several MDSC (MDATPs) and upload them into one MDSC (MDATP) tenant.

Waiting for the full version. :) 

 

MacBook IP address is not visible in ATP at anytime.

Sounds interesting. Is it going to be available through App Store or Is it going to be possible to deploy it with JAMF?

Hi, where do I log bugs with the mac client. Just have a fe machines reporting no licenses when the user has a e5 license assigned. Regards John
