Hi All,

In mid January Microsoft Announced, that the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 will be now Included in M365 E3/A3 Licenses.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 Now Included in M365 E3/A3 Licenses

My Account has a M365 E3 License and i can see “Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1” has been assigned.

[Overview of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1]https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/defender-endpoint-plan-1?view=o365-worldwide)

I went for the Documentation and Set it up in Micrsosoft Endpoint Manager.

[Set up and configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1]https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/mde-p1-setup-configuration?view=o365-worldwide)

I was not sure if i had to choose the Group with the User or the Group with the Computer. I went for the Group with the Computer.

The Policy was assigned to the Computer but the Settings are pending

On the next day i checked - and it was sucessfully

I checked the Settings on the Client computer

Get-MpPreference

Don’t judge me too hard - i am not much working with Windows Client Stuff. Hopefully this Article did help you a bit.
