Upgrade To 2403 : Microsoft Defender security configurations are no longer managed with Microsoft Intune

Question

Hello everyone,

The current version of MECM we are using is 2303. (No Hotfixes Installed).

We would like to upgrade to version 2403.

We read about the problem “Security configurations removed from Intune” after the update.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/servers/deploy/install/release-notes#endpoint-protection

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/hotfix/2309/25858444#symptoms

We do not understand whether we may encounter this problem after the upgrade. We would like to understand before doing the upgrade.

• The Endpoint Protection role is not active.
• Co-Managed with Intune is active.
• I Workloads "Device Configuration" And "Endpoint Protection" are configured as Pilots.
• In MECM Console, "\Assets and Compliance\Overview\Endpoint Protection\Antimalware Policies", only the "Default Client Antimalware Policy".
• In MECM Console, "\Assets and Compliance\Overview\Endpoint Protection\Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Policies" is empty.
• The Client Settings, "Endpoint Protection" is only visible in the “Default Client Setting,” but it is configured as “NO.”

Will we have the problem described in the following article ?

Thank you for your patience and support.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

==>Will we have the problem described in the following article ?

Per my experience, no, you will not have this problem.

1,Firstly, the Endpoint Protection point site system role must be installed before we can use Endpoint Protection. As the Endpoint Protection role is not active in your environment, it will not take effect.

2,Meanwhile, "the Manage Endpoint Protection client value set to Yes in client settings" is one of the conditions for this issue. Now, it is configured as "NO" in your default client setting.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
