Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Device group question
I know Defender in general is extra user friendly but for the Defender for endpoint to work properly, do I need to put all devices in a machine group and set a remediation level? All the training videos I have watched tells me I have to put the devices in a Device group in settings and set a remediation level. I didn't set it up and it still seems to quarantine unwanted software or malicious software. Can someone why the device group and remediation level are necessary?New MECM Build, Device Collections not showing devices
I just built a new MECM server and updated it to version 2509. I imported an older Device Collection script to make collections. The Windows Server 2012/2012R2 did find the 4 servers that I have but for 2019, 2022 and 2025, nothing is showing. Here are some queries that I have tried: select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Version = "10.0.20348" select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion like "%Server 10%" and SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.BuildNumber = "20348" select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.BuildNumber = "20348" I even tried one using the OS Name. The limiting Collection used is Servers | All which shows 97. I also changed it back to All Systems, but to no avail. All the boundries and boundry groups are set.
