There are additional components on the device that the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint agent depends on to function properly. If there are no onboarding related errors in the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint agent event log, proceed with the following steps to ensure that the additional components are configured correctly.
Ensure the diagnostic data service is enabled
If the devices aren't reporting correctly, you might need to check that the Windows 10 diagnostic data service is set to automatically start and is running on the device. The service might have been disabled by other programs or user configuration changes.
First, you should check that the service is set to start automatically when Windows starts, then you should check that the service is currently running (and start it if it isn't).
Ensure the service is set to start
Use the command line to check the Windows 10 diagnostic data service startup type:
Open an elevated command-line prompt on the device:
a. Click Start, type cmd, and press Enter.
b. Right-click Command prompt and select Run as administrator.
Enter the following command, and press Enter:
If the service is enabled, then the result should look like the following screenshot:
If the
START_TYPE
is not set toAUTO_START
, then you'll need to set the service to automatically start.
Use the command line to set the Windows 10 diagnostic data service to automatically start:
Open an elevated command-line prompt on the device:
a. Click Start, type cmd, and press Enter.
b. Right-click Command prompt and select Run as administrator.
Enter the following command, and press Enter:
A success message is displayed. Verify the change by entering the following command, and press Enter:
Start the service.
a. In the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
Ensure the device has an Internet connection
The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint sensor requires Microsoft Windows HTTP (WinHTTP) to report sensor data and communicate with the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint service.
WinHTTP is independent of the Internet browsing proxy settings and other user context applications and must be able to detect the proxy servers that are available in your particular environment.
To ensure that sensor has service connectivity, follow the steps described in the Verify client connectivity to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint service URLs topic.
If the verification fails and your environment is using a proxy to connect to the Internet, then follow the steps described in Configure proxy and Internet connectivity settings topic.
Ensure that Microsoft Defender Antivirus is not disabled by a policy
Important
The following only applies to devices that have not yet received the August 2020 (version 4.18.2007.8) update to Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
The update ensures that Microsoft Defender Antivirus cannot be turned off on client devices via system policy.
Problem: The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint service does not start after onboarding.
Symptom: Onboarding successfully completes, but you see error 577 or error 1058 when trying to start the service.
Solution: If your devices are running a third-party antimalware client, the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint agent needs the Early Launch Antimalware (ELAM) driver to be enabled. You must ensure that it's not turned off by a system policy.
Depending on the tool that you use to implement policies, you'll need to verify that the following Windows Defender policies are cleared:
- DisableAntiSpyware
- DisableAntiVirus
For example, in Group Policy there should be no entries such as the following values:
<Key Path='SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows Defender'><KeyValue Value='0' ValueKind='DWord' Name='DisableAntiSpyware'/></Key>
<Key Path='SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows Defender'><KeyValue Value='0' ValueKind='DWord' Name='DisableAntiVirus'/></Key>
Important
The disableAntiSpyware
setting is discontinued and will be ignored on all client devices, as of the August 2020 (version 4.18.2007.8) update to Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
After clearing the policy, run the onboarding steps again.
You can also check the previous registry key values to verify that the policy is disabled, by opening the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows Defender
.Note
All Windows Defender services (wdboot, wdfilter, wdnisdrv, wdnissvc, and windefend) should be in their default state. Changing the startup of these services is unsupported and may force you to reimage your system.
Example default configurations for WdBoot and WdFilter:
<Key Path='SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWdBoot'><KeyValue Value='0' ValueKind='DWord' Name='Start'/></Key>
<Key Path='SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWdFilter'><KeyValue Value='0' ValueKind='DWord' Name='Start'/></Key>
Troubleshoot onboarding issues on a server
Note
The following troubleshooting guidance is only applicable for Windows Server 2016 and lower.
If you encounter issues while onboarding a server, go through the following verification steps to address possible issues.
You might also need to check the following:
Check that there is a Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Service running in the Processes tab in Task Manager. For example:
Check Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > Operation Manager to see if there are any errors.
In Services, check if the Microsoft Monitoring Agent is running on the server. For example,
In Microsoft Monitoring Agent > Azure Log Analytics (OMS), check the Workspaces and verify that the status is running.
Check to see that devices are reflected in the Devices list in the portal.
Confirming onboarding of newly built devices
There may be instances when onboarding is deployed on a newly built device but not completed.
The steps below provide guidance for the following scenario:
- Onboarding package is deployed to newly built devices
- Sensor does not start because the Out-of-box experience (OOBE) or first user logon has not been completed
- Device is turned off or restarted before the end user performs a first logon
- In this scenario, the SENSE service will not start automatically even though onboarding package was deployed
Note
User Logon after OOBE is no longer required for SENSE service to start on the following or more recent Windows versions:Windows 10, version 1809 or Windows Server 2019, or Windows Server 2022 with April 22 2021 update rollup.Windows 10, version 1909 with April 2021 update rollup.Windows 10, version 2004/20H2 with April 28 2021 update rollup.
