Download Defender Offboarding Script BEST

As devices are replaced or retired, or your business needs change, you can offboard devices from Defender for Business. Offboarding a device causes the device to stop sending data to Defender for Business. However, data received prior to offboarding is retained for up to six (6) months.

Select an operating system, such as Windows 10 and 11, and then, under Offboard a device, in the Deployment method section, choose Local script.

For security reasons, the package used to Offboard devices will expire 30 days after the date it was downloaded. Expired offboarding packages sent to a device will be rejected. That expiry date will be contained in the filename.

Thank you for some great articles. Regarding Offboarding devices from Defender fot Business. What would be the procedure for offboarding devices that you as an admin no longer has access to? E.g. BYOD-devices which are no longer enrolled in intune for example or can be reached by GPOs, but you forgot to offboard the device in Defender.

would you be willing to share your graph script? I am new to Graph so not familiar with how to script it. I have a bunch of devices that are DOA for various reasons that I would like to offboard without a call to Support.

Start with the free script -offboard-check.ps1 and the modifications are not that hard. My script is available only via subscription and seems I also need to update it as well so it may not event work at the moment.

I was testing the onboard process in Intune Autopilot. So, I was using the same laptop to test it over and over. I had the onboarding script enabled which actually onboarded the device. But, when the PC was reset and a new machine name was assigned through Autopilot process, the new device got onboarded, the old device is like showing onboarded but the device does not exists as I wiped it off.

We had a mix up with our original ATP tenant and it was pushing data to Europe instead of US. So I offboarded all of our servers (or so I thought), created the new tenant in US and onboarded the servers/devices back. What I didn't realize is that some devices were missed and now they are still trying to reach the URL in Europe and I have no access to the offboarding script from the original Tenant.

I hope I'm not the only one to have run into this problem but I don't see a solution other than "you need the offboarding script from the old tenant". Does anyone know of a solution to get the devices offboarded without the script? I'm pretty shocked there is no way to simply stop the service and offboard these devices manually.

Unfortunately during offboarding I could not get the local scripts to run in order to offboard from Defender or Endpoint DLP. No matter what I did I was getting error messages when trying to run the script on the user's computer, in Terminal, using sudo (the user was a local admin). The error message was something vague like, "cannot run..." (sorry I this was yesterday and we were in a huge rush to do the offboarding).

I have a strange problem with some Windows 10 22H2 VMs that were were recently built in my organisation. They are showing in the security.microsoft.com with a status of 'can be onboarded' and no telemetry so I just ran the regular onboarding script and expected them to be onboarded.

On the Configuration File page, Browse to the WindowsDefenderATP.offboarding file that is available in the downloaded WindowsDefenderATPOffboardingPackage.zip file and click Next;

The last scenario is something I regularly encounter with customers: by accident, the customer onboarded personal devices into Microsoft Defender for Endpoint due to a misconfiguration. By using the offboarding API, I could block the device from sending data to Microsoft 365 Defender by moving it out of scope for the company. So offboarding devices do have a use case, but it is not a solution for managing inactive devices.

The following function will take a UPN (which is my first field in my list, even though its named as User) and search Azure Active Directory for said user. Add the code to our script that contains the Get-ListItems function and the Connect-GraphAPI function.

If the checks in the Pending stage completed, we can proceed to the next logic. In Acknowledged, we have confirmed the user information is correct and if the offboarding time is within 1hr we can proceed with the offboarding. In this stage we are going to remove all user licenses, set mailbox forwarding, and remove the user from all groups.

I ran a script to offboard the PC and onboard the PC after deleting the reg key and everything in the cyber folder using the sysInternals tools. Now that I have onboarded the PC. I have waited for just under a day. Does anyone else have any experience onboarding a PC, and how long should it take?

I have tried offboarding the PC and onboarding the PC for the second time. Furthermore, I have also tried to set the sensors to auto-start and manually starting the sensors. I have viewed the windows event logs which have said that the PC got onboarded properly.

That's all I do for our W10 non-persistent VMs, and Defender has been fine in our environment. All VMs onboard properly, and I never have to worry about offboarding since I don't onboard my master image, etc. It's much cleaner this way, IMO. I will say that Defender is a bit of a pig, somehow. We moved from Trend Micro Apex One, which did much better in terms of resource consumption. Not only does Defender use more CPU and RAM, but it also added 10 seconds to our logon time just by having the services enabled.

After enabling the Defender for Endpoint integration in Defender for Cloud machines will be provisioned. The configuration/ installation is pushed using Azure Policies and contains the onboarding script and additional configuration. The result is the MDE.Windows and MDE.Linux VM extension for 2012R2 and higher.

In situations where Azure Arc is a huge overhead (it requires its own security/ policies and design decisions), it is possible to use the new direct onboarding method. With the newly announced direct onboarding, there is a seamless integration between Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Cloud without the need for additional deployment of agents. Once enabled, the machines part of Defender for Endpoint is synced to Defender for Cloud inventory in a designated Azure Subscription that is configured.

With the use of Direct onboarding the Defender for Cloud part is only used for licensing. The Azure Subscription is used for licensing, billing, alerts, and insights. For additional configuration and protection, it is needed to use Azure Arc.

The enablement of direct onboarding is an opt-in setting that needs to be enabled on the tenant level. After enabling it affects existing and new servers that are onboarded in the Defender for Endpoint tenant part of the tenant. After enabling the new onboarding machines will be synced under the designated subscriptions and pricing will be part of the Defender for Cloud process.

Direct onboarding enablement is possible in the Defender for Cloud environment settings. After enabling direct onboarding it will take up to 24 hours for machines to be synced in the designated subscription.

To manage this setting, you need Subscription Owner permissions (on the chosen subscription), and AAD Global Administrator or AAD Security Administrator

Select the subscription. The subscription will be used for the location where the machines are visible/ located. Ideally, create a separate machine for optimal control of the Defender for Servers P1/ P2 plan and cost of the servers.

When enabling Defender for Servers P2 in the designated subscriptions, machines onboarded directly will have access to the Defender for Servers Plan 1 feature and the Vulnerability Management add-on features. All other features are not supported or available.

There is a limitation to this part. When the Azure VM or Azure Arc machine is onboarded in Defender for Servers via an Azure subscription or Log Analytics workspace and running the Defender for Endpoint it will be part of the direct onboarding flow when the MDE.Windows or MDE.Linux extension is not installed.

It is supported to move from Direct onboarding to Azure Arc without any duplicate cost. When Azure Arc is needed for collecting logs via AMA or any other feature not supported it is completely supported to install the Azure Arc agent. No offboarding is required in Defender for Endpoint.

When using the unified agent for Server 2012R2 and 2016 it is needed to install the MSI and run the onboarding package. When the machine is onboarded in Defender for Endpoint it will automatically sync to the designed subscription in Defender for Cloud/ Defender for Server.
