  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows 8
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
  • Windows 7 SP1

You may have a number of down-level or legacy Windows devices that are enabled with Endpoint Protection—but are outside of your Configuration Manager hierarchy. For example, devices in a demilitarized zone or devices that are integrated through mergers and acquisitions.

You can manage Endpoint Protection in such devices using Group Policy settings, described as follows:

• Load Endpoint Protection policy definitions into any of the following locations:

Note

For information on how to use Group Policy settings to manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016, see Use Group Policy settings to configure and manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus.

2. Compress the following files into a zip file, for example SCEP_admx.zip:

   • EndPointProtection.adml
   • EndPointProtection.admx

3. Copy the zip file into a temporary folder. For example, C:temp_SCEP_GPO_admx.

4. Extract the file.

Load Endpoint Protection Group Policy settings into a Central Store on a domain controller

If you are using a Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates, perform the following steps to load and configure Endpoint Protection Group policy settings. This is the recommended method.

1. Go to the folder where you extracted the Endpoint Protection policy definition files.

2. Copy the .admx and .adml files into the PolicyDefinitions folder on the domain controller:

   1. Copy EndPointProtection.admx into <forest.root>SYSVOL<domain>PoliciesPolicyDefinitions.
   2. Copy EndPointProtection.adml into <forest.root>SYSVOL<domain>PoliciesPolicyDefinitionsen-US.

   For example:

   • Copy EndPointProtection.admx into DCSYSVOLcontoso.comPoliciesPolicyDefinitions.
   • Copy EndPointProtection.adml into DCSYSVOLcontoso.comPoliciesPolicyDefinitionsen-US.

   where DC is the name of your Domain Controller and contoso.com is your domain.

3. Open the Group Policy Management Console and create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) in your domain, for example Endpoint Protection.

4. Right-click the GPO for Endpoint Protection and click Edit.

5. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates: Policy definitions > Windows Components > Endpoint Protection.

   The list of Endpoint Protection Group Policies is displayed.

6. Expand the section that contains the setting you want to configure, double-click the setting to open it, and make configuration changes.

Load Endpoint Protection Group Policy settings into your local device

Instead of using Central Store for loading Endpoint Protection policy definitions, you can store them locally into your device.

1. Go to the folder where you extracted the Endpoint Protection policy definition files.

2. Copy the .admx and .adml files into your local PolicyDefinitions folder.

   1. Copy EndPointProtection.admx into %SystemRoot%/PolicyDefinitions.
   2. Copy EndPointProtection.adml into %SystemRoot%/PolicyDefinitions/en-US.

   For example:

   • Copy EndPointProtection.admx into C:WindowsPolicyDefinitions.
   • Copy EndPointProtection.adml into C:WindowsPolicyDefinitionsen-US.

3. Open Local Group Policy Editor.

4. Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Endpoint Protection.

   The list of Endpoint Protection Group Policies is displayed.

5. Expand the section that contains the setting you want to configure, double-click the setting to open it, and make configuration changes.

[KB7026] Deploy ESET Endpoint product for Mac to replace SCEP for Mac

Issue

• We recommend migrating to an ESET endpoint product for Mac as soon as possible, due to the following reasons:
  
  • System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) will not be supported after December 31, 2018, and will not receive updates after March 2019.
  • SCEP for Mac does not support macOS 10.14 (Mojave). ESET endpoint products 6.6 and later support macOS 10.14 (Mojave).
  • Apple has announced that it will no longer support 32-bit applications in macOS. SCEP for Mac is not a native 64-bit application. ESET Endpoint Antivirus and ESET Endpoint Security 6.6 and later are 64-bit applications.
  • SCEP for Mac uses ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition (v4) technology. ESET endpoint products offer the most current protection technologies ESET provides.
    
• Create an ESET Endpoint for Mac product installation package to deploy to your endpoint computers and replace the existing System Center Endpoint Protection using a third-party deployment tool (such as System Center Configuration Manager).
• We recommend that you do not uninstall System Center Endpoint Protection before installing your ESET Endpoint for Mac product. The ESET Endpoint for Mac product will use the settings already in place from your System Center Endpoint Protection.
