Onboard macOS devices into Microsoft Purview solutions using Microsoft Intune

If Microsoft Defender for Endpoints (MDE) has already been deployed to your macOS device, you can still onboard that device into Compliance solutions. Doing so is multi-phase process:

  1. Create system configuration profiles
  2. Update existing system configuration profiles
  3. Update MDE preferences

Prerequisites

Download the following files:

File Description
accessibility.mobileconfig Used for accessibility
fulldisk.mobileconfig Used to grant full disk access (FDA).

Note

To download the files:

  1. Right-click the link and select Save link as....
  2. Choose a folder and save the file.

Create system configuration profiles

  1. Open the Microsoft Intune admin center and navigate to Devices > macOS > Configuration.

  2. Choose: + Create and then choose New policy.

  3. Select the following values:

    1. Platform = macOS
    2. Profile type = Templates
    3. Template name = Custom
  4. Choose Create.

  5. Enter a name for the profile, for instance: Microsoft Purview Accessibility Permission, and then choose Next.

  6. Choose the accessibility.mobileconfig as the configuration profile file (downloaded as part of the prerequisites) and then choose Next.

  7. On the Assignments tab, add the group you want to deploy this configuration to and then choose Next.

  8. Review your settings and then choose Create to deploy the configuration.

  9. Open Devices and navigate to macOS > Configuration profiles. The profiles you created display.

  10. On the Configuration profiles page, choose the new profile. Next, choose Device status to see a list of devices and the deployment status of the configuration profile.

Update existing system configuration profiles

  1. A full disk access (FDA) configuration profile should have been created and deployed previously for MDE. (For details, see Intune-based deployment for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac). Endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) requires additional FDA permission for the new application (com.microsoft.dlp.daemon).

  2. Update the existing FDA configuration profile with the downloaded fulldisk.mobileconfig file.

Update MDE preferences

  1. Find the existing MDE Preferences configuration profile. See Intune-based deployment for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac for details.

  2. Add the following key to the .mobileconfig file, then save the file.

     <key>features</key> 
     <dict> 
         <key>dataLossPrevention</key> 
         <string>enabled</string> 
     </dict> 
    

Offboard macOS devices using Microsoft Intune

Important

Offboarding causes the device to stop sending sensor data to the portal. However, data received from the device, including references to any alerts it has had, will be retained for up to six months.

  1. In the Microsoft Intune admin center, open Devices > Configuration profiles. The profiles you created display.

  2. On the Configuration profiles page, choose the MDE preferences profile.

  3. Remove these settings:

     <key>features</key>
     <dict>
         <key>dataLossPrevention</key>
         <string>enabled</string>
     </dict>
    
  4. Choose Save.
