Hi,
We are facing the same issue. Our company decided to migrate our antivirus solution through Microsoft Defender since some months.
I understand Lansweeper use 2 methods to detect antivirus:
- WMI classes
- Specific string search in installed software list
But like it explained, Windows Server OS don't provide these WMI classes. For Windows Server 2012 R2 and older platform the antivirus was a standalon package (software) named SCEP. For Windows Server 2016 and newer platform it's a builtin functionnality.
Now, it's complicated to determine if our servers are correctly protected by an antivirus using Lansweeper reports. Does you plan to improve AV detection methods to include this specific situation with Windows Defender ?
It's ironic because we can detect the Microsoft Defender for Linux and MacOS antivirus with Lansweeper inventory... but not for Microsoft Servers...

The WMI class that is used to represent the installation of antivirus is not present in the server operating system. Effectively there is nothing available for Lansweeper to query like it does with the non-server operating systems.

Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 {Get-MpComputerStatus | Select-Object -Property Antivirusenabled,AMServiceEnabled,AntispywareEnabled,BehaviorMonitorEnabled,IoavProtectionEnabled,NISEnabled,OnAccessProtectionEnabled,RealTimeProtectionEnabled,AntivirusSignatureLastUpdated}
You get an output of the remote PC about the health/status of Defender if it's running.

Only some Server 2016 & 2019 are like that. But few (also with Defender) seem to be scanned OK

I've linked it to the corresponding feature request. At the moment it is planned to be tackled with the other AV scanning improvements. Since some users don't want Windows Defender to be seen as an AV (because they use other software) and some do, it is not as straight forward.
As an FYI I checked my 2019 test server and Lansweeper does not identify Antivirus there either. It shows the same as 2016 so whatever the "fix" is that Charles mentions, it should address both of those I would imagine.
