Is there a report to advise disabled Protection on Endpoints

[Microbe 7]

Hi Team,

Can you please advise if there is a way to

a) generate a report to let an admin know if a device has disabled their EP protection status?

b) Then have a policy to re-enable the protection after that computer reboots?

You can filter computers with problems in the Computer window, you can create dynamic groups for computers with specific issues and you can also generate a report with problematic computers or use the existing one:

You can theoretically even automate this, using dynamic groups: 

• Create a dynamic group template, that will monitor specific functionality problems
• Create a dynamic group using this template, ideally under the "all group" 
• You can either set a policy, that will be applied to make sure feature is enabled (however, once the machine leaves the dynamic group, settings will revert back to state before)
• You can execute a run command task, that will enable specific protection features, if they were not "disabled permanently", but just paused (by a local user, having admin rights).

Thanks, I believe customer has created a policy for some "field laptops" to allow the user to "disable the product via context menu on the chance they need to do this to access a foreign network", however sometimes they forget to re-enable.

So do you think if they edit that policy to only allow pause protection your suggestion would work?

It should work. For instance, you can create a dynamic group like this:

Thanks for the assistance will revert back to customer.
