Action Required/Recommendations
To avoid potential service disruption following the infrastructure update, administrators should:
- Verify that managed devices are running a supported version of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
- Update devices running older app versions to the latest available release:
- Android: Version 1.0.9107.0101 or later
- Communicate this requirement to users who manage application updates themselves.
No additional configuration changes are required. Updating to a supported version of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is sufficient to maintain access to protection capabilities following the infrastructure update.
