Windows Server 2019 comes with a lot of new feature. One of the large investment Microsoft is making in this Windows Server release, is in security. And one of my favorite new security features in Windows Server 2019 is the support for Windows Defender Advanced Thread Protection. Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a unified platform for preventative protection, post-breach detection, automated investigation, and response. It was available for Windows 10 devices for awhile, and now it is available for Windows Server 2019 and other version of Windows Server.
What is Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection
Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection brings some great security features to your platform.
- Agentless, cloud-powered – No additional deployment or infrastructure. No delays or update compatibility issues. Always up to date.
- Unparalleled optics – Built into Windows and Windows Server for deeper insights. Exchanges signals with the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph.
- Automated security – Take your security to a new level, by going from alert to remediation in minutes – at scale.
Onboard Windows Server 2019 to Windows Defender Advanced Thread Protection
If you’re already using Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), preview these features by simply installing the latest preview build of Windows Server, and onboard it to Windows Defender ATP.
Otherwise, sign up for the Windows Defender ATP trial on Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection.
Quick Look at Windows Defender ATP for Windows Server 2019
Using Windows Defender ATP is pretty simple. It is also very simple with Windows Server 2019. After you have onboarded your Windows Server you can already see alerts and recommendations in your dashboard.
To have some active alerts, you can create a test alert. This is also recommended to do after you have onboarded your machine. With that you can see if the connection is working.
You can find alters, events and actions in the machine page in the Windows Defender Security Center.
I hope this just gives you a short overview about Windows Defender ATP for Windows Server 2019. If you have any questions just leave a comment.

Hello,
Thanks for this guide, my question about licensing for servers.
Licences for ATP is for user or device ???
Likewise, I am interested in knowing how on-prem Windows Defender ATP for Servers is licensed.
Same here, there’s no clear documentation. Is the solution included in Azure Security Center Standard?
Windows Defender ATP can now be licenced per-server, without paying for Azure Security Centre
