Microsoft Defender Antivirus comes with different features that can be configured using Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM)/Intune, Group Policy, PowerShell, etc. Microsoft Defender Antivirus, which is part of the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE), is one component of the next-generation protection solution. What capabilities in Microsoft Defender Antivirus can help us? However, after doing some research and tests in a lab environment, I discovered that it might not be as easy as I thought. I first thought it was going to be pretty easy by pushing some settings via Microsoft Endpoint Manager. A few weeks ago, I got a question from a client to check how they could prevent administrators, including local administrators on their device, to add exclusions in Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
