##### Enable for multiple subscriptions in the Azure portal dashboard
245+
246+
If one or more of your subscriptions don't have Endpoint protections enabled for Linux machines, you'll see an insight panel in the Defender for Cloud dashboard. The insight panel tells you about subscriptions that have Defender for Endpoint integration enabled for Windows machines, but not for Linux machines. You can use the insight panel to see the affected subscriptions with the number of affected resources in each subscription. Subscriptions that don't have Linux machines show no affected resources. You can then select the subscriptions to enable endpoint protection for Linux integration.
247+
248+
After you select **Enable** in the insight panel, Defender for Cloud:
249+
250+
- Automatically onboards your Linux machines to Defender for Endpoint in the selected subscriptions.
251+
- Detects any previous installations of Defender for Endpoint and reconfigure them to integrate with Defender for Cloud.
252+
253+
Use the [Defender for Endpoint status workbook](https://aka.ms/MDEStatus) to verify installation and deployment status of Defender for Endpoint on a Linux machine.

##### Enable for multiple subscriptions with a PowerShell script

Use our [PowerShell script](https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-Defender-for-Cloud/tree/main/Powershell%20scripts/Enable%20MDE%20Integration%20for%20Linux) from the Defender for Cloud GitHub repository to enable endpoint protection on Linux machines that are in multiple subscriptions.
