I need full info on how to deploy or install Microsoft Endpoint on a local network without a domain server, I need to protect all devices even the peripherals through the device serial number and MAC Address ACL.

because mac address alone is not a security anymore, it can be copied and edited.

if the system won’t work on the network back bone, help me find a solution to protect my local network devices through Device Serial Number ACL🙏

    Hi Fadi Helou,

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    For protecting devices through Device Serial Number ACL, you can use Access Control Lists (ACLs) to filter traffic based on device serial numbers. Define rules that allow or deny access based on device serial numbers and MAC addresses. Apply these rules to network interfaces to control traffic.

    Please refer the following link for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on a local network without a domain server: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/defender-endpoint/configure-endpoints-script
