XDR advanced hunting region specific endpoints
Hi, I am exploring XDR advanced hunting API to fetch data specific to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint tenants. The official documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/api-advanced-hunting) mentions to switch to Microsoft Graph advanced hunting API. I had below questions related to it: 1. To fetch the region specific(US , China, Global) token and Microsoft Graph service root endpoints(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/deployments#app-registration-and-token-service-root-endpoints ) , is the recommended way to fetch the OpenID configuration document (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/v2-protocols-oidc#fetch-the-openid-configuration-document) for a tenant ID and based on the response, the region specific SERVICE/TOKEN endpoints could be fetched? Since using it, there is no need to maintain different end points for tenants in different regions. And do we use the global service URL https://login.microsoftonline.com to fetch OpenID config document for a tenantID in any region? 2. As per the documentation, Microsoft Graph Advanced hunting API is not supported in China region (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/security-security-runhuntingquery?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http). In this case, is it recommended to use Microsoft XDR Advanced hunting APIs(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/api-advanced-hunting) to support all region tenants(China, US, Global)?XDR Advanced hunting API region availability

Defender for Endpoint | Deception
Hi Everyone, I hope this topic is going to help someone. I want to know after 31 of October 2025 Does that mean that no one can run Deceptions and policy rules, etc? As at the moment I'm experiencing this: It would be good to know if I have to deal with it and look into what the issue is, as I'm using Zscaler. The issue is definitely there after running a number of commands to check the reg key, etc. Can someone provide me with any documentation if this will be fully retired or will still be functioning to some point?
Bug using streaming API related to new type of event 'CloudProcessEvents'
Hi community, recently i've been trying to send XDR events/logs to a storage account via streaming API option. The problem comes when this bad request appears: This problem is related with a new schema that have been added recently to XDR Advanced Hunting. As you can see the new type of event 'CloudProcessEvents' is not supported via API but it doesnt appear in type of event at the configuration to unselect it. Can someone help?
Secure score not improving after implementing ASR
I need some help on the following; Improving secure score for one of our customers. For example, the secure score is improving for identity. I implemented user risk and sign in risk CA policies on the 14th and on the 18th defender is increasing the secure score However i also implemented ASR rules 23rd of september but it still says ASR are recommended actions. Etcetera. I powershelled into one of the targeted endpoints and confirmed the ASR rules are active on the machine. Connector is on The are using Crowdstrike as primary AV. Can the 2 AVs work together so the score gets updated for device? Would i need to manually create exeptions for every rule? I hope not.. Thank you in advance. Regards, Andrew
Advanced Hunting Query Help
Hey y'all, I'm trying to write a query that can be used to determine the number of times an each IOC generated an alert (file hash, URL, IP, etc). I'm using the query builder tool within Defender, and I'm looking into the AlertInfo and AlertEvidence tables, but I'm not seeing where the link exists between each of these alert records and the corresponding IOC. For instance. If I submit a custom indicator, to Block a file identified by a sha256 hash, and that file gets correctly blocked, I want to see a count for the number of times that IOC value (the hash in this instance) triggered an alert. I'm hoping the community can help me determine whether I'm missing something glaringly obvious or if there's some documentation I haven't read yet. Thanks for reading!
Secure Score - Vulnerability Exceptions Not Registering
I have followed the guide to configure the proper permissions to manage within Defender. Device groups have been created based off tags we applied to the devices, and the device groups register the expected number of devices. We apply an exception to the vulnerability recommendation based off the device group, looking at the individual device pages we can confirm the recommendation is excluded and it all appears to work as intended up to this point. The problem starts on the vulnerability dashboard. The recommendation shows it is in partial exception status however none of the statistics or data reflect this including our secure score. I can confirm making a global exception works as expected and we can see the score adjust properly. Has anyone experienced this before or have any pointers? We have been working at this for weeks trying different things without luck, we are ensuring to leave adequate sync times.Deep Dive into Preview Features in Microsoft Defender Console
Background for Discussion Microsoft Defender XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is evolving rapidly, offering enhanced security capabilities through preview features that can be enabled in the MDE console. These preview features are accessible via: Path: Settings > Microsoft Defender XDR > General > Preview features Under this section, users can opt into three distinct integrations: Microsoft Defender XDR + Microsoft Defender for Identity Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps Each of these options unlocks advanced functionalities that improve threat detection, incident correlation, and response automation across identity, endpoint, and cloud environments. However, enabling these features is optional and may depend on organizational readiness or policy. This raises important questions about: What specific technical capabilities are introduced by each preview feature? Where exactly are these feature parameters are reflected in the MDE console? What happens if an organization chooses not to enable these preview features? Are there alternative ways to access similar functionalities through public preview or general availability?
