Enable Microsoft Defender SmartScreen DNS requests

This policy lets you configure whether to enable DNS requests made by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. Note: Disabling DNS requests prevent Microsoft Defender SmartScreen from getting IP addresses, and potentially impact the IP-based protections provided. If you enable or don't configure this setting, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen can make DNS requests. If you disable this setting, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen can't make any DNS requests. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management, or macOS instances that are managed via MDM or joined to a domain via MCX.
