MC801975 - Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Enhancements to the device onboarding page

Updated September 10, 2024: We have updated the Public Preview rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

For Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP), we've added enhancements to the device onboarding page. These include:

• Ability to search by IP address to look up devices.
• New filter for 'Valid user' available.
• Refined device list to only include devices that can be DLP supported, which excludes Android devices from showing up in the device onboarding list.
• New properties in the export report.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 393934

When this will happen:

Public Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-July 2024 (previously late June) and expect to complete by late July 2024 (previously early July).

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC-High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early August 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024 (previously late August).

How this will affect your organization:

• You will be able to look up devices using their IP address in the search box (located in the upper right corner of the page) and view their device health status in the device onboarding page. 

• You can filter for valid or invalid devices using the “Valid user” filter to get a list of all the devices that have an invalid user status. When the valid user status is invalid, it means that there was no authenticated user found. Without proper authentication, data classification is impeded. If the status of the valid user status is invalid, follow the provided remediation guidance.

• The device onboarding page has been enhanced to only show devices that can be DLP supported.
• You can get all the device information from the device onboarding page using the export capability. The export report now contains new device properties including:
  • Valid user
  • First onboarded date
  • MDATP device ID
  • Defender engine version
  • Defender Mocamp version
  • Endpoint DLP status
  • Last policy sync time
  • Advanced Classification bandwidth usage exceeded
