Endpoint menu missing in settings in security center

Copper Contributor

Hello,

I'm trying to understand while endpoint menu is missing in security center. (security.microsoft.com).

I currently have a Microsoft 365 E5 Security License but I can't access to endpoint menu.

I'm currently logging with a global admin account with the "Microsoft 365 E5 Security" license assigned but I can't access to the endpoint menu at all.

 

Am I doing something wrong? My current license is a trial license, could be the issue (I don't think so)? Thanks

Hi @Sara2022 

 

Thank you for posting your question. If this is a brand new license that you just added and had not been leveraging Microsoft Defender for Endpoint previously in this tenant, then it must prepare your MDE features before "Endpoints" will appear under the settings menu. 

 

To do so, from the main screen at security.microsoft.com, on the menu on the left, you should see an Endpoints drop-down. Select any item under it and you should see a screen that says preparing your environment. You can also do initiate this by selecting something like Incidents or Hunting.

1) Goto  security.microsoft.com 

2) Select Endpoint and wait here for 5 minutes
