Hey everyone! 👋 I've been deep in the CRM/AI side of things for a while, but I'm branching out into security tools. My team is rolling out Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and honestly, the setup docs feel a bit overwhelming for a beginner like me.

I'm coming from a world where you just enable a feature flag in Salesforce and the AI starts scoring leads. I know this is different, but I'm hoping there's a similar "on-ramp" here. What's the absolute minimum config to get basic protection and reporting working? We're a Microsoft 365 shop, so we have the licenses already.

I'm thinking about:
* The must-have policies to turn on Day 1.
* Any critical exclusions we should set from the start to avoid breaking things?
* The one dashboard I should watch to know it's actually doing its job.

Just looking for that simple, effective baseline. I can geek out on the advanced threat hunting later!
