Windows servers in the lock house sit on-premises in the plant and must appear in Microsoft Defender for Cloud. What is the correct onboarding path?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Plant-floor boxes are not Azure VMs until Arc badges them. Arc first, then turn on Defender for Cloud on those Arc machines—WSUS alone will not walk them onto the posture board.
Full Explanation
Azure Arc is the supported hybrid path to represent on-premises machines in Azure so Microsoft Defender for Cloud can assess and protect them. WSUS, Sentinel log forwarding alone, or exposing public management endpoints without Arc onboarding do not enroll those machines into Defender for Cloud resource posture.
