Automatically launch Microsoft Defender for Endpoint during Android Enterprise device setup

You'll be able to configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to open automatically during out-of-box setup for supported corporate-owned Android Enterprise devices. After you configure the Defender for Endpoint connector, turn on Grant MTD role permissions, and assign the Defender app as required, you'll enable this experience from Endpoint security > Defender for Endpoint. Intune will open Defender during enrollment so users can complete its initial configuration as part of device setup. If configuration isn't completed, the Intune setup step will remain available so users can open Defender again. This experience will help ensure that Defender is configured before enrollment finishes.
