A successful deployment requires the completion of all of the following steps: - [Download installation and onboarding packages](#download-installation-and-onboarding-packages) - [Create JAMF policies](#create-jamf-policies) - [Client device setup](#client-device-setup) - [Deployment](#deployment) - [Check onboarding status](#check-onboarding-status) ## Prerequisites and system requirements Before you get started, please see [the main Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac page](microsoft-defender-atp-mac.md) for a description of prerequisites and system requirements for the current software version. In addition, for JAMF deployment, you need to be familiar with JAMF administration tasks, have a JAMF tenant, and know how to deploy packages. This includes having a properly configured distribution point. JAMF has many ways to complete the same task. These instructions provide an example for most common processes. Your organization might use a different workflow. ## Download installation and onboarding packages Download the installation and onboarding packages from Windows Defender Security Center: 1. In Windows Defender Security Center, go to **Settings > device Management > Onboarding**. 2. In Section 1 of the page, set the operating system to **Linux, macOS, iOS or Android** and deployment method to **Mobile Device Management / Microsoft Intune**. 3. In Section 2 of the page, select **Download installation package**. Save it as _wdav.pkg_ to a local directory. 4. In Section 2 of the page, select **Download onboarding package**. Save it as _WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip_ to the same directory. ![Windows Defender Security Center screenshot](images/MDATP_2_DownloadPackages.png) 5. From the command prompt, verify that you have the two files. Extract the contents of the .zip files like so: ```bash $ ls -l total 721160 -rw-r--r-- 1 test staff 11821 Mar 15 09:23 WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 test staff 354531845 Mar 13 08:57 wdav.pkg $ unzip WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip Archive: WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip warning: WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip appears to use backslashes as path separators inflating: intune/kext.xml inflating: intune/WindowsDefenderATPOnboarding.xml inflating: jamf/WindowsDefenderATPOnboarding.plist ``` ## Create JAMF policies You need to create a configuration profile and a policy to start deploying Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac to client devices. ### Configuration Profile The configuration profile contains a custom settings payload that includes: - Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac onboarding information - Approved Kernel Extensions payload, to enable running the Microsoft kernel driver To set the onboarding information, add a property list file with the name, _jamf/WindowsDefenderATPOnboarding.plist_, as a custom setting. You can do this by navigating to **Computers**>**Configuration Profiles**, selecting **New**, then choosing **Custom Settings**>**Configure**. From there, you can upload the property list. >[!IMPORTANT] > You must set the Preference Domain as "com.microsoft.wdav.atp" ![Configuration profile screenshot](images/MDATP_16_PreferenceDomain.png) ### Approved Kernel Extension To approve the kernel extension: 1. In **Computers > Configuration Profiles** select **Options > Approved Kernel Extensions**. 2. Use **UBF8T346G9** for Team Id. ![Approved kernel extensions screenshot](images/MDATP_17_approvedKernelExtensions.png) ### Privacy Preferences Policy Control > [!CAUTION] > macOS 10.15 (Catalina) contains new security and privacy enhancements. Beginning with this version, by default, applications are not able to access certain locations on disk (such as Documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc.) without explicit consent. In the absence of this consent, Microsoft Defender ATP is not able to fully protect your device. > > If you previously configured Microsoft Defender ATP through JAMF, we recommend applying the following configuration. Add the following JAMF policy to grant Full Disk Access to Microsoft Defender ATP. 1. Select **Options > Privacy Preferences Policy Control**. 2. Use any identifier and identifier type = Bundle. 3. Set Code Requirement to `identifier "com.microsoft.wdav" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = UBF8T346G9`. 4. Set app or service to SystemPolicyAllFiles and access to Allow. ![Privacy Preferences Policy Control](images/MDATP_35_JAMF_PrivacyPreferences.png) #### Configuration Profile's Scope Configure the appropriate scope to specify the devices that will receive the configuration profile. Open **Computers** > **Configuration Profiles**, and select **Scope > Targets**. From there, select the devices you want to target. ![Configuration profile scope screenshot](images/MDATP_18_ConfigurationProfilesScope.png) Save the **Configuration Profile**. Use the **Logs** tab to monitor deployment status for each enrolled device. ### Package 1. Create a package in **Settings > Computer Management > Packages**. ![Computer management packages screenshot](images/MDATP_19_MicrosoftDefenderWDAVPKG.png) 2. Upload the package to the Distribution Point. 3. In the **filename** field, enter the name of the package. For example, _wdav.pkg_. ### Policy Your policy should contain a single package for Microsoft Defender. ![Microsoft Defender packages screenshot](images/MDATP_20_MicrosoftDefenderPackages.png) Configure the appropriate scope to specify the computers that will receive this policy. After you save the Configuration Profile, you can use the Logs tab to monitor the deployment status for each enrolled device. ## Client device setup You'll need no special provisioning for a macOS computer, beyond the standard JAMF Enrollment. > [!NOTE] > After a computer is enrolled, it will show up in the Computers inventory (All Computers). 1. Open **Device Profiles**, from the **General** tab, and make sure that **User Approved MDM** is set to **Yes**. If it's currently set to No, the user needs to open **System Preferences > Profiles** and select **Approve** on the MDM Profile. ![MDM approve button screenshot](images/MDATP_21_MDMProfile1.png) ![MDM screenshot](images/MDATP_22_MDMProfileApproved.png) After a moment, the device's User Approved MDM status will change to **Yes**. ![MDM status screenshot](images/MDATP_23_MDMStatus.png) You may now enroll additional devices. You may also enroll them later, after you have finished provisioning system configuration and application packages. ## Deployment Enrolled client devices periodically poll the JAMF Server, and install new configuration profiles and policies as soon as they are detected. ### Status on the server You can monitor deployment status in the **Logs** tab: - **Pending** means that the deployment is scheduled but has not yet happened - **Completed** means that the deployment succeeded and is no longer scheduled ![Status on server screenshot](images/MDATP_24_StatusOnServer.png) ### Status on client device After the Configuration Profile is deployed, you'll see the profile for the device in **System Preferences** > **Profiles >**. ![Status on client screenshot](images/MDATP_25_StatusOnClient.png) Once the policy is applied, you'll see the Microsoft Defender ATP icon in the macOS status bar in the top-right corner. ![Microsoft Defender icon in status bar screenshot](images/MDATP_Icon_Bar.png) You can monitor policy installation on a device by following the JAMF log file: ```bash $ tail -f /var/log/jamf.log Thu Feb 21 11:11:41 mavel-mojave jamf[7960]: No patch policies were found. Thu Feb 21 11:16:41 mavel-mojave jamf[8051]: Checking for policies triggered by "recurring check-in" for user "testuser"... Thu Feb 21 11:16:43 mavel-mojave jamf[8051]: Executing Policy WDAV Thu Feb 21 11:17:02 mavel-mojave jamf[8051]: Installing Microsoft Defender... Thu Feb 21 11:17:23 mavel-mojave jamf[8051]: Successfully installed Microsoft Defender. Thu Feb 21 11:17:23 mavel-mojave jamf[8051]: Checking for patches... Thu Feb 21 11:17:23 mavel-mojave jamf[8051]: No patch policies were found. ``` You can also check the onboarding status: ```bash $ mdatp --health ... licensed : true orgId : "4751b7d4-ea75-4e8f-a1f5-6d640c65bc45" ... ``` - **licensed**: This confirms that the device has an ATP license. - **orgid**: Your Microsoft Defender ATP org id; it will be the same for your organization. ## Check onboarding status You can check that devices have been correctly onboarded by creating a script. For example, the following script checks enrolled devices for onboarding status: ```bash $ mdatp --health healthy ``` The above command prints "1" if the product is onboarded and functioning as expected. If the product is not healthy, the exit code (which can be checked through `echo $?`) indicates the problem: - 1 if the device is not yet onboarded - 3 if the connection to the daemon cannot be established—for example, if the daemon is not running ## Logging installation issues See [Logging installation issues](microsoft-defender-atp-mac-resources.md#logging-installation-issues) for more information on how to find the automatically generated log that is created by the installer when an error occurs. ## Uninstallation This method is based on the script described in [Uninstalling](microsoft-defender-atp-mac-resources.md#uninstalling). ### Script Create a script in **Settings > Computer Management > Scripts**. This script removes Microsoft Defender ATP from the /Applications directory: ```bash #!/bin/bash echo "Is WDAV installed?" ls -ld '/Applications/Microsoft Defender ATP.app' 2>/dev/null echo "Uninstalling WDAV..." rm -rf '/Applications/Microsoft Defender ATP.app' echo "Is WDAV still installed?" ls -ld '/Applications/Microsoft Defender ATP.app' 2>/dev/null echo "Done!" ``` ![Microsoft Defender uninstall screenshot](images/MDATP_26_Uninstall.png) ### Policy Your policy should contain a single script: ![Microsoft Defender uninstall script screenshot](images/MDATP_27_UninstallScript.png) Configure the appropriate scope in the **Scope** tab to specify the machines that will receive this policy.
