Body
UMS provides Microsoft Defender for Mac (MDAV) software for UMS JAMF managed macOS devices. For more information on MDAV, see Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac.
Details
Installation
- Microsoft Defender will be automatically installed and licensed for all JAMF managed macOS computers
- Unmanaged and personally-owned macOS devices will not receive MDAV through this process
- End User Technoloy (EUT) will deploy a provisioning profile and a configuration profile prior to installation
- The configuration profile will authorize all system extensions and suppress the prompt for allowing the network proxy
- The installation will be silent, but in the event the user is prompted with a window to allow the proxy service, you must allow it for the antivirus to work
- Users can self-install via the UMS Application Catalog or let it install automatically when the deadline arrives
- Once installed an icon will appear in the menu bar
- After a minute or two, the application will check in with Microsoft and update definitions
If a user wants to manually run updates or a scan, it can be done via the application.
