Sep 09, 2015 Hi all, we are having the first laptops rolled out with windows 10. I now that default windows defender is installed. On all our other windows 7 or 8 machines we have configured system center endpoint protection (forefront) (with gpo for updating and rules and settings) We are working without the system center configuraton manager. For windows 10 i cant install forefront endpoint protection. They have included the endpoint protection service with Configmgr 2012. Therefore now you can manage forefront via SCCM console. Not sure where Microsoft is headed with this, since if a business wants Forefront they would need to invest in SCCM as well (Even if they don’t need it).

We have a relatively small organization (~15 users), and have used the ForeFront EndPoint Protection 2010 desktop client without the use of central management, like Configuration Manager.
Now that the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager and Endpoint Protection is rolled together as one installation package, do you have to stand up the Configuration Manager to use the Endpoint Protection desktop client? Or can we still use the desktop client as a standalone anti-virus solution?

You do not need to have SCCM to use forefront. You do however need it if you're planning on doing any reporting on those installed clients (i.e. compliance, tracking, etc.).

No you can stand them up separately but I believe if you want to know things like agent health you need SCCM.
