HI @Akasht1 ,
I trust you are doing great.

Integrating ServiceNow with Microsoft Defender can indeed involve the use of a MID Server, especially if you are dealing with on-premises systems or environments where direct integration through the internet is not feasible or secure. The MID Server acts as a go-between, ensuring secure data transfer between ServiceNow and internal networks.

As for the time it takes to configure a MID Server, it can vary based on several factors:

1. Environment Complexity: The complexity of your network and security configurations can impact the time required.

2. Experience Level: The experience of the person performing the setup can greatly affect the time taken. Someone with more experience in ServiceNow and network configurations will likely complete the task faster.

3. Preparation: If prerequisites like required permissions, network configurations, and access to necessary resources are in place, the process will be smoother and quicker.

Typically, setting up a MID Server for a straightforward environment might take a few hours, including the time for installation, configuration, and testing. For more complex environments, it might take a day or more, considering the need for more intricate configurations and potential troubleshooting.
