AssetSonar allows you to deploy its ITAM Agent to Mac Devices. Follow these steps to successfully sync our Agent with your AssetSonar account:
- Request for a pre-configured Mac-supported ITAM Agent pkg.intunemac from our team by emailing us at support@ezo.io.
- Now, head to your Microsoft Manager Endpoint Admin Center. Go to Apps → All Apps, and click on the ‘+Add’ button.
3. This pops open a dialog on the right side of the screen. Choose ‘Line-of-business app’ as the App Type and hit ‘Select’.
4. After you’ve selected the app type, a new page appears. Here, click on the ‘Select app package file’ button in the App Information tab.
5. Then, in the App package file dialog box that appears at the right, select the pkg.intunemac file, and click ‘OK’.
6. Add AssetSonar as publisher and leave the remaining fields as default.
7. You can choose which users or machines you want to deploy the Agent on. In this example, we’ll select ‘Add All Users’ and ‘Add All Devices’.
8. In the Review + Create tab, click ‘Create’ to complete the app setup.
9. You will be notified when the app is created successfully.
10. Device Install Status section will show the Devices with the above-mentioned PKG file as successfully installed.
11. We now need to add a macOS script that will finalize the installation. Before you create the script for Mac Devices, upload the following files on your public servers. You can choose to upload the files on either a GDrive or a Dropbox account.
- modules.conf
- ocsinventory-agent.cfg
- cacert.pem
- next_timefile
- Ocsinv.adm
- org.ocsng.agent.plist
Note: You can get these files for your Mac Devices by sending us an email at support@ezo.io.
12. Now, head to your Microsoft Manager Endpoint Admin Center, go to Devices → Scripts → Add → macOS.
13. Add ‘Intune Agent Script’ as the name (or anything you prefer).
14. You will now need to create a script_agent_intune.sh file with the following commands. Copy the scrip given here.
Note: The script for remote Agent installation on Mac systems is a bash script. Additionally, make sure that the names of the files and their storage pathways are correctly typed in the script.
Additional note: In order for this to work, the permissions for the link should be such that anyone with the link can download the file — no authorization required. The add_id_here in the link in the above script should be replaced by the ID available in the drive sharable link. For instance, in the link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1axkPO9eYtvEvRRqyz5t85I6t9uR0VfQ/view?usp=sharing, the ID would be 1axkPO9eYtvEvRRqyz5t85I6t9uR0VfQ
15. With the script created, select script_agent_intune.sh as Upload Script, keep the Run script as signed-in user field set to No, and set 3 times as the Max number of re-tries.
16. You can decide which users or machines you want to deploy the Agent on. In this example, we’ll select ‘Add All Users’ and ‘Add All Devices’.
17. Review and then hit ‘Add’.
18. Once the script has successfully been installed within the Device, our Mac Agent will start syncing with your AssetSonar Account.
