Thank you. Windows Defender is on. How can we confirm if the ESET has registered correctly in the Security Center? If Windows Defender does not see or registers the ESET AV - will they interfere with each other and the OS? As its basically two AV systems running simultaneously?

Hi. We have a client with Windows Server 2016 RDS server Windows Build 1607. They have ESET EndPoint AV 6.6 running on the RDS server.. it worked fine for a few months, but after migrating the VM server to a newer esxi 6.5 host, the server became sluggish, to the point of unresponsive after a few minutes from startup. After a lot of troubleshooting, we removed the ESET EndPoint AV product, and then the server started responding again. The ESET EndPoint product is not recommended for Windows servers (ESET File Security is the recommended product) - but what would the problems be if ESET EndPoint 6.6 is running on a RDS server? Is ESET EndPoint 6.6 compatible with Windows Defender on Server 2016? Would Windows Defender on Server 2016 interact or compete with ESET EndPoint AV ? Help and some advise would be appreciated?
