How to add Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Server license to servers

Hi,

We have bought Window ATP for our servers. Now Microsoft has added Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Server licenses on our O365 portal. The servers doesn't have users in O365. How do I need to assign these licenses to our servers?

We have just done that as well...however the servers have already been onboarded before buying the licences.
i just assigned the licences to a few people on the team.

did you licence decrease when you pushed it out with sccm?

Hi @Stijn-9548,

There is multiple ways to onboard your Windows Server 2019 machines to Windows Defender ATP, using a local script, GPO, MEMCM (SCCM) etc, for more details:

Hi @YoussefSaad

Thanks for the answer. SO if I see it correctly, I don't need to assign these licenses to the servers?
We just need to buy the licenses to be covered?

You have to prepare a GPO or push a config using SCCM to the target servers, as mentioned in the above link.

Hi,
By integrating Defender for Endpoint with Security Center, you'll benefit from the following additional capabilities:

Security Center automatically enables the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint sensor for all Windows servers monitored by Security Center. Except for those that are running Windows Server 2019, which must be onboarded via local script, Group Policy Object (GPO), or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (formerly SCCM).

For your reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/security-center-wdatp

Hope above information can help you.

Have you ever figured out how the licenseing assignment works ? I'm facing the same issue , I raised a ticket with Microsoft and the two support folks i spoke to were unable to answer my question!

Maybe it will take few moments to be increased in the dashboard.

I believe this is solved:
Our supplier has confirmed that we do not (can not) assign licenses to the servers - we just need to ensure that we have purchased the correct amount.
