Install Endpoint Protection 2012 Without Sccm

28.08.2019 

When most customers talk about FEP 2010 Standalone, they actually talk about to manage FEP agents without SCCM. A healthy SCCM infrastructure; Install the FEP 2010 (Update Rollup 1): Now you can manage FEP agents all through the. We have FEP CALs with our Microsoft Core CAL. I'm interested in using it, but it seems to require SCCM to function, and SCCM is not a 'next, next, done' product - from what I gather it takes time to install correctly and to learn how to use it. So, is there any way to configure and manage FEP without it?

Our (rather lengthy) subscription to Forefront 2005 has just ran out, so sadly it's time to do the antivirus upgrade shuffle again. Naturally we were looking at its newest descendant, but for the life of me I can't fathom why I would want to use this software.
We don't have System Center 2012 Configuration Manager setup and running in our environment yet, nor do we particularly want it, but all the documentation suggests that it and its clients are required to even get started with the new Endpoint, as there's no independent central management console for just Endpoint anymore. Which is all we want.
So we threw SCCM on a test machine and installed the Endpoint Site on it, and..I still can't push clients out? Or is the SCCM base client required? We don't need any of the other features of SCCM and I can't see us dedicating the time to set it up in our environment (yet). It also takes the licensing from a simple upgrade scenario to a whole lot of new purchasing, which is a pain in my ass and budget.
Is this a truly awesome piece of software that I'm not giving a fair enough evaluation? I foresee nothing but grumbling from my team if I tell them to put in the time to implement this thing properly, and we're in the middle of a phone system cutover right now anyway, so free time is at a premium.
Is anyone else using it for their antivirus solution? If it is something that's not worth my time, what should I be looking at instead?

Sccm Endpoint Protection Client

-->

Applies to: System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch)

Endpoint Protection manages antimalware policies and Windows Firewall security for client computers in your Configuration Manager hierarchy.

Important

You must be licensed to use Endpoint Protection to manage clients in your Configuration Manager hierarchy.

When you use Endpoint Protection with Configuration Manager, you have the following benefits:

  • Configure antimalware policies, Windows Firewall settings, and manage Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection to selected groups of computers
  • Use Configuration Manager software updates to download the latest antimalware definition files to keep client computers up-to-date
  • Send email notifications, use in-console monitoring, and view reports. These actions inform administrative users when malware is detected on client computers.

Beginning with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 computers, Windows Defender is already installed. For these operating systems, a management client for Windows Defender is installed when the Configuration Manager client installs. On Windows 8.1 and earlier computers, the Endpoint Protection client is installed with the Configuration Manager client. Windows Defender and the Endpoint Protection client have the following capabilities:

  • Malware and spyware detection and remediation
  • Rootkit detection and remediation
  • Critical vulnerability assessment and automatic definition and engine updates
  • Network vulnerability detection through Network Inspection System
  • Integration with Cloud Protection Service to report malware to Microsoft. When you join this service, the Endpoint Protection client or Windows Defender downloads the latest definitions from the Malware Protection Center when unidentified malware is detected on a computer.

Note

The Endpoint Protection client can be installed on a server that runs Hyper-V and on guest virtual machines with supported operating systems. To prevent excessive CPU usage, Endpoint Protection actions have a built-in randomized delay so that protection services do not run simultaneously.

In addition, you manage Windows Firewall settings with Endpoint Protection in the Configuration Manager console.

Example scenario: Using System Center Endpoint Protection to protect computers from malware in System Center Configuration Manager Endpoint Protection and the Windows Firewall.

Managing Malware with Endpoint Protection

Endpoint Protection in Configuration Manager allows you to create antimalware policies that contain settings for Endpoint Protection client configurations. Deploy these antimalware policies to client computers. Then monitor compliance in the Endpoint Protection Status node under Security in the Monitoring workspace. Also use Endpoint Protection reports in the Reporting node.
