 - We've identified an issue with Windows Server 2012 R2 connectivity to cloud when static TelemetryProxyServer is used **and** the certificate revocation list (CRL) URLs aren't reachable from the SYSTEM account context. Ensure the EDR sensor is updated to version 10.8210.* or later (using [KB5005292](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint-update-for-edr-sensor-f8f69773-f17f-420f-91f4-a8e5167284ac)) to resolve the issue. Alternatively, use a different proxy option ("system-wide") that provides such connectivity, or configure the same proxy via the WinInet setting on the SYSTEM account context.
 - On Windows Server 2012 R2, there's no user interface for Microsoft Defender Antivirus. In addition, the user interface on Windows Server 2016 only allows for basic operations. To perform operations on a device locally, refer to [Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with PowerShell, WMI, and MPCmdRun.exe](preferences-setup.md). As a result, features that specifically rely on user interaction, such as where the user is prompted to make a decision or perform a specific task, may not work as expected. It's recommended to disable or not enable the user interface nor require user interaction on any managed server as it may impact protection capability.

 - Operating system upgrades aren't supported. Offboard then uninstall before upgrading. The installer package can only be used to upgrade installations that have not yet been updated with new antimalware platform or EDR sensor update packages.
 - Automatic exclusions for **server roles** aren't supported on Windows Server 2012 R2; however, built-in exclusions for operating system files are. For more information about adding exclusions, see [Configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus exclusions on Windows Server](configure-server-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md).
 - To automatically deploy and onboard the new solution using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) you need to be on [version 2207 or later](/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/changes/whats-new-in-version-2207#improved-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint-mde-onboarding-for-windows-server-2012-r2-and-windows-server-2016).
