Windows Defender / Endpoint Protection

[nhottinger]

We are getting ready to get rid of our AV solution and are looking to use SCCM Endpoint Protection instead.  

1. Is this enough?  Are we still going to be protected as we were with a full blown AV?  We are fully Windows 10 going forward.
2. Is there a document that will walk me through setting this all up?
3. Is there a way to setup email alerts when a virus / malware / other security alert is found?
4. Anything else we need to know before starting?

I'm noticing that on some of my devices, the SCEP icon does not show in the taskbar to be able to run manual scans.  Is this normal?  Even thought the software shows in Programs and Features, it's not in the taskbar.

I guess maybe I'm a bit confused.  I've setup SCCM with all the antimalware policies and other settings.  Do I even need to install the SCEP client on Windows 10 machines?  All I have on them is Windows Security, did that take the place of Windows defender?

Windows 10 will not display a SCEP icon, it will only show the Windows Defender icon, I should probably update that post, maybe soon

That definitely helps!  I was racking my brain trying to figure out why it didn't show up.
