These fixes update the Remote Desktop Services server-side roles and components that are built around Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 8.1. However, although updates are performed on the server-side infrastructure, the Remote Desktop Clients are often left untouched. This can cause performance and reliability issues. By default, older clients such as Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) are restricted to RDP 7.1 and do not provide the new features and improvements that are available in RDP 8.1. Therefore, we have released the RDP 8.1 client for Windows 7 to provide significant performance and reliability improvements when these clients are connected to RDS 2012 R2 environments. To enable RDP 8.1 on Windows 7, follow these steps:
Universal Termsrv.Dll Patch Windows Server 2012 R2
For Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016, you can either manually install/upgrade the modern, unified solution on these machines, or use the integration to automatically deploy or upgrade servers covered by your respective Microsoft Defender for Server plan. More information about making the switch at Protect your endpoints with Defender for Cloud's integrated EDR solution: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
The new unified solution package makes it easier to onboard servers by removing dependencies and installation steps. It also provides a much expanded feature set. For more information, please refer to Defending Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016.
These offboarding instructions for other Windows server versions also apply if you are running the previous Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012 R2 that requires the MMA. Instructions to migrate to the new unified solution are at Server migration scenarios in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
I will try to ask you my question, knowing that I could not find the answer anywhere. Here is the situation:When you have hundreds of Azure VM servers (Win 2012 R2, Win 2016, Win 2019) with an third-party EDR in place that you want to migrate to MDE, the process is to first install/onboard MDE in passive mode, with both EDR mutually excluding each other (to avoid server crash and unnecessary fight from both AVs).
