To do it with the CMEnroll tool, open a terminal and navigate to the Tools directory. This can be done in two ways: using the CMEnroll tool or using the client’s GUI. When the system reboots, you’re ready to enroll the system. The installer will prompt you to restart. Why? Lack of prereqs, lack of features, better hardware? I’m sure they all contribute. You’ll notice the client installs much faster than on Windows systems.

Next, install the SCCM client from the terminal, using sudo so that the install runs with administrative priveleges. So you might have to edit the hosts file to make this happen, as I’ve done here:Īlternatively, you can manually add an A-record to DNS if your Mac systems are leveraging that, but this is fine for my lab 🙂 Now, your Mac will need to be able to contact the FQDN of the SCCM server’s internet facing address. You’ll find 3 files inside: the ccmsetup executable, the CMClient package (which the executable calls) and a tools folder (which we’ll look at later). Get the file over to your Mac and extract it. Run it from a Windows system and it will extract a DMG file that you can copy over to your Mac. You’ll notice it’s an MSI, which doesn’t install on a Mac.

Head over to Microsoft and download the Mac client. OK, now we’re ready to install the SCCM client on our Mac and enroll our first system. Here you’ll want to select the site, CA, and cert that will be used, and give the profile a name. Now click Set Profile, and we’ll create a profile. Scroll down to Enrollment, and allow users to enroll mobile devices and Macs. In the SCCM console, edit the Default Client Settings. Now that the proper cert is issued, we’ll configure the client settings to allow enrollment. Once the new template is created, head back to the CA console and publish it by right-clicking on the Certificate Templates folder. Under the security tab, you’ll probably want to remove permissions so that only a select few can enroll Macs. Next, under the Subject Name tab, configure the options as follows: Once again, select Server 2003 as the authority and recipient. Right-click the Authenticated Session template and select duplicate template. Once again, open the Certificate Authority console, right-click on Certificate Templates, and select Manage. This cert is different from the ones used by the other Windows clients or by the DPs, this one is for authenticated sessions. Now that the role is configured, you’ll need to publish a cert for Macs and set the enrollment client policy. There really aren’t any special configurations that need to be done, so just follow through the wizard. That’s pretty easy, just install them same as other roles. Managing Macs requires the Enrollment point and Enrollment proxy point roles. This requires some additional infrastructure, as well as another cert, which we’ll walk through here. My techs and I have tried searching, but we're either using the wrong keywords or no one else is having the issue - which I find hard to believe.Now that our site is running in HTTPS, we’re ready to setup and enroll our first Mac clients.
#SCCM SEARCH BY MAC HOW TO#
Any suggestions on how to get SCCM to keep the wired MAC address "active" without telling teachers to plug the laptops into the wired network periodically? So in reality, SCCM isn't forgetting the wired MAC, it's just not using it. On the flip side, we have SCCM setup to "ask" if an unknown computer should be image (we have an optional deployment setup for unknown computers, so you have to hit F12 to get it to run on PXE boot) - but the computers SCCM "forgets" don't ask to take the optional deployment. It doesn't work seemingly because SCCM doesn't recognize the MAC address.
The trouble comes in when we want to reimage the computers using PXE and have to use the wired card.
#SCCM SEARCH BY MAC UPDATE#
Seems like it would be fine since it does update the computer's record with the wireless MAC address and software deployments work fine over wireless. What we've found over time is that SCCM seems to "forget" the MAC address of the wired nic of laptops who only use wireless for connecting. We're using SCCM 2012 to image all our computers and have been since last summer.
