Intune Android Enterprise Fully Managed Defender for Endpoint activation
Hi All,
Scenario: Intune > Android > Fully Managed profile > Defender for Endpoint deployment
Is there any way to reach a zero-touch / silent method for activating Defender for Endpoint on Android devices ? Users currently need to run through a series of questions to activate it and until they do it does not show up in the Security portal Inventory.
We are using a Compliance policy based on machine risk score to identify devices which haven't activated Defender - this marks them non-compliant until they do.
I'd rather use a deployment/policy to activate Defender silently without any user intervention. As it is a security product on Android Enterprise Fully Managed devices it seems I must be missing a trick here to manage them without user involvement and blocking the user via a non-compliant conditional access policy seems an inefficient way to resolve the issue for everyone.
Is it possible ?
Many thanks
Jas.

Hi Jas71 ;
Due to certain platform and OS level limitations from Google, currently it is not possible to perform a zero-touch activation of MDE on Android Enterprise devices.

Is there another product that supports zero-touch activation for Android Enterprise Fully Managed or will this capability be added to MDE in the future ?
