The unified solution also provides a much simpler onboarding experience.</p> <p>Before taking a closer look at the new unified solution, let&rsquo;s briefly look at how things worked until now. Onboarding Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 is simple, all you need to do is run an onboarding script that basically enables the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint component that is already built-in the operating system, i.e. there&rsquo;s no need to deploy and install any additional software. Things are different with Windows Server 2012-R2 and Windows Server 2016 though.</p>
