Server 2012 R2 Download

This update is a cumulative update that includes the security updates and the non-security updates for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 that were released before March 2014. In addition to previous updates, it includes features such as improved Internet Explorer 11 compatibility for enterprise applications, usability improvements, extended mobile device management, and improved hardware support. Important All future security and nonsecurity updates for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 require this update to be installed. We recommend that you install this update on your Windows RT 8.1-based, Windows 8.1-based, or Windows Server 2012 R2-based computer in order to receive continued future updates.

The MSDN and VLSC updated ISOs do not contain the complete set of fixes that are offered from Windows Update. Therefore, Windows Update and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) will offer update 2919355 again to the computers that are deployed by using the images in these ISOs. This is expected and does not trigger the full reinstallation of the Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 update, but only one smaller component of it. The rest of the update will not be downloaded or reinstalled.

Defender for Endpoint extends support to also include the Windows Server operating system. This support provides advanced attack detection and investigation capabilities seamlessly through the Microsoft 365 Defender console. Support for Windows Server provides deeper insight into server activities, coverage for kernel and memory attack detection, and enables response actions.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Defender for Servers. You can onboard servers automatically, have servers monitored by Microsoft Defender for Cloud appear in Defender for Endpoint, and conduct detailed investigations as a Microsoft Defender for Cloud customer. For more information please go to Protect your endpoints with Defender for Cloud's integrated EDR solution: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

For Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016, you can either manually install/upgrade the modern, unified solution on these machines, or use the integration to automatically deploy or upgrade servers covered by your respective Microsoft Defender for Server plan. More information about making the switch at Protect your endpoints with Defender for Cloud's integrated EDR solution: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

To be eligible to acquire Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Server licenses (one per covered server instance), you must have already purchased a combined minimum of 50 licenses for one or more of the following:

The new unified solution package makes it easier to onboard servers by removing dependencies and installation steps. It also provides a much expanded feature set. For more information, please refer to Defending Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016.

Depending on the server that you're onboarding, the unified solution installs Microsoft Defender Antivirus and/or the EDR sensor. The following table indicates what component is installed and what is built in by default.

The installation package is updated monthly. Be sure to download the latest package before usage.To update after installation, you do not have to run the installer package again. If you do, the installer will ask you to offboard first as that is a requirement for uninstallation. See Update packages for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016.

On Windows Server 2012R2, Microsoft Defender Antivirus will get installed by the installation package and will be active unless you set it to passive mode. On Windows Server 2016, Microsoft Defender Antivirus must be installed as a feature (see Switch to MDE) first and fully updated before proceeding with the installation.

The installation script is signed. Any modifications to the script will invalidate the signature. When you download the script from GitHub, the recommended approach to avoid inadvertent modification is to download the source files as a zip archive then extract it to obtain the install.ps1 file (on the main Code page, click the Code dropdown menu and select "Download ZIP").

Replace \\servername-or-dfs-space\share-name with the UNC path, using the file server's fully qualified domain name (FQDN), of the shared install.ps1 file. The installer package md4ws.msi must be placed in the same directory. Ensure that the permissions of the UNC path allow write access to the computer account that is installing the package, to support creation of log files. If you wish to disable the creation of log files (not recommended), you can use the -noETL -noMSILog parameters.

For information on how to use Group Policy to configure and manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus on your Windows servers, see Use Group Policy settings to configure and manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus.

You can offboard Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server (SAC), Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2019 Core edition in the same method available for Windows 10 client devices.

These offboarding instructions for other Windows server versions also apply if you are running the previous Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012 R2 that requires the MMA. Instructions to migrate to the new unified solution are at Server migration scenarios in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. 2ff7e9595c
