The deadline is fast approaching -- we mentioned in a previous blog that any customers running Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 must take the following actions or their agents will stop sending data:
Before November 2, 2020, do the following:
- Install the SHA-2 signing Windows updates as described in 2019 SHA-2 Code Signing Support requirement for Windows and WSUS
- Update to the latest version of the Log Analytics Windows agent (Windows 64-bit agent or Windows 32-bit agent)
You can find the relevant devices in your environment using an advanced hunting query. You can use the following that is available on GitHub: https://github.com/anthonws/MTPAHQueries/blob/master/Log_Analytics_Agent_SHA2_Support.txt
Learn more information about SHA-2 signing enforcement in the documentation.
For any other questions, please feel free to reach out Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Support.
Thank you,
The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint team
