Technically, there shouldn't be any difference between the System Center Endpoint Protection that comes with Configuration Manager and the built-in Microsoft Defender in Windows 10.
System Center Endpoint Protection and Windows Defender are the same. Having said this, Windows Defender will be the future branding name. It is still deployed, configured, administrated, and monitored through System Center Configuration Manager or Microsoft Intune.
Configuration Manager is set to administrate Windows 10 machines, which means that they get the Client Settings policy defined to enable Endpoint Protection.
Configuration Manager will only put a small management layer on top of the built-in Defender that already is in place. So, it is not similar to the process with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 where it would in fact install the Endpoint Protection (SCEP.exe
) file.
There is no difference in the Client Settings policy whether it's Windows...
