By staying current with updates that remove software vulnerabilities, you can reduce the overall attack surface in your organization. Managing software updates is central to device security.

Reduce vulnerabilities by keeping your macOS software up to date We look forward to releasing the public preview of the ability to install PKG using Intune MDM agent in Q3 of this year so we can get your feedback. Initially, we'll support PKG installations for the “required” assignment type other assignment types will follow. While we will continue to support and enhance the native PKG-type app management experiences for macOS, we believe the new Intune agent-based, PKG-type app delivery and monitoring experiences offer flexibility and customization. This solution will utilize the Intune MDM agent to deploy PKG-type installers. We're actively working on a solution that will make it easier to deploy apps with custom scripts and apps that are unsigned. We heard time and again how the existing Mac line-of-business application workflow was hindering you from achieving organizational scenarios. We expect to make the DMG app-install capability generally available in the coming months.

Now, we are adding the ability for you to deploy in-place DMG app upgrades. Since the preview announcement, we've listened to and addressed customer feedback. The DMG app-install capability augments the native app management scenarios for Intune managed macOS devices by introducing a new application deployment pipeline that uses the Intune MDM agent to install, monitor, and report DMG-type applications. Simplify DMG app deployments for Mac devicesĬonverting apps to PKG format was cumbersome and required packaging expertise.
