==
Removal of Prerequisites for MDE enrollment?

Architectural updates to the security settings management capabilities in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint that simplifies the device enrollment process.
The updates include removing Azure Active Directory (AD) join or Hybrid Azure AD join as a pre-requisite for onboarding Windows devices that use security settings management in Defender for Endpoint.

==
New Updated Infrastructure to deliver the enhanced experience?

Any new devices enrolled in security settings management for Defender for Endpoint will use the updated infrastructure.

==
What is changed?

Suppose a Windows device is managed by security settings management for Defender for Endpoint but has been unable to enroll due to not being Azure AD joined, or Hybrid Azure AD joined. In that case, these devices will be able to be enrolled, and policies targeted to the device can be applied. Once enrolled, the device will appear in the device lists for Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Intune, and Azure AD.

==
MDE Synthetic Device Registration?

For devices that haven't been registered, a synthetic device identity is created in Azure AD to enable the device to retrieve policies.

==
Policy Enforcement for MDE-managed devices?

Policies retrieved from Microsoft Intune are enforced on the device by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

==
Prerequisites for MDE Managed Devices?

For MDE-managed devices

When a device is managed by Intune (enrolled to Intune), the device doesn't process policies for Defender for Endpoint security settings configuration. Instead, use Intune to deploy the policy for Defender for Endpoint to your devices.

When a device receives a policy, the Defender for Endpoint components on the device enforces the policy and reports on the device's status.

The device's status is available in the Microsoft Intune admin center and the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.

==
Non Persistent AVDs/Citrix VDIs are not supported

Security settings management doesn't work on non-persistent desktops, like Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) clients or Azure Virtual Desktops.

==
MDE Synthetic Device Registration Removal?

When a device with a synthetic registration has a full Azure AD registration created for it, the synthetic registration is removed, and the device's management continues uninterrupted by using the full registration.
