Deploying Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not successful for Mac via Intune

Question

Hello

I try to deploy Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac via Intune.
I followed Microsoft's official guide to achieve this.

However, it seems the deployment is not successful on some part.

Having a closer look to error code does not provide much information.

The target device is Macbook Pro M1 (MacOS 11.3.1).

Any ideas what could cause the issue?

Answer 1

Thank you for the information.

Even though it is not supported on M1 Macs, it seemed to start working. The issue was with configuration XMLs. I think documentation provides wrong link for the configurations I had issues with.

Regards,
Pekka

Answer 2

From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-endpoint-mac?view=o365-worldwide:

macOS devices with M1 processors are not supported.

I know we are working on adding support but there is nothing to share publicly at this time.

Answer 3

@Pekka Pekkonen I agree with Jason. Currently, macOS devices with M1 processors are not supported.
