Intune Company Portal Mac Download



This section is for scripts that install or configure applications on the Mac. There are many reasons to deploy apps via shell script rather than via the macOS mdmclient. Our preferred method of app deployment is via the Mac App Store VPP, but the Intune Scripting agent provides an almost infinte level of possibilities where the apps you need. Samsung Smart Manager software, which ships on certain Samsung devices, can deactivate the Intune Company Portal and its components. When the Company Portal is in a deactivated state, it can't run in the background and can't contact the Intune service. Resolution 1: Tell your users to start the Company Portal app manually. Categories make it easier for users to find the app when they browse through the company portal. Show this as a featured app in the Company Portal: Display the app prominently on the main page of the company portal when users browse for apps. Information URL: Optionally, enter the URL of a website that contains information about this app. You can use Intune to query the status of disk encryption (File Vault II) on enrolled Mac devices and ensure that company data is encrypted at rest. Reporting and Auditing Intune helps you keep track of all your Mac devices by providing comprehensive hardware and software inventory reporting capabilities. You can go to the Reports workspace to. Adding the Citrix Workspace app as a line-of-business app in Microsoft Intune. Once the application has been created and assigned to users, it will be available for install in the Intune Company Portal. The application can also be set to required for automatic deployment. Citrix Workspace available in the Intune Company Portal on macOS.

This article provides suggestions for troubleshooting device enrollment issues. If this information doesn't solve your problem, see How to get support in Microsoft Endpoint Manager to find more ways to get help.

Initial troubleshooting steps

Before you begin troubleshooting, check to make sure that you've configured Intune properly to enable enrollment. You can read about those configuration requirements in:

  • Set up Android device management - No additional steps required

You can also make sure that the time and date on the user's device are set correctly:

  1. Restart the device.
  2. Make sure that the time and date are set close to GMT standards (+ or - 12 hours) for the end user's time zone.
  3. Uninstall and reinstall the Intune company portal (if applicable).

Your managed device users can collect enrollment and diagnostic logs for you to review. User instructions for collecting logs are provided in:

General enrollment issues

These issues may occur on all device platforms.

Device cap reached

Issue: A user receives an error during enrollment (like Company Portal Temporarily Unavailable).

Resolution:

Check number of devices enrolled and allowed

Check to see that the user isn't assigned more than the maximum number of devices by following these steps:

  1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > Enrollment restrictions > Device limit restrictions. Note the value in the Device limit column.

  2. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Users > All users > select the user > Devices. Note the number of devices.

  3. If the user's number of enrolled devices already equals their device limit restriction, they can't enroll anymore until:

    • Existing devices are removed, or
    • You increase the device limit by setting device restrictions.

To avoid hitting device caps, be sure to remove stale device records.

Note

You can avoid the device enrollment cap by using Device Enrollment Manager account, as described in Enroll corporate-owned devices with the Device Enrollment Manager in Microsoft Intune.

A user account that is added to Device Enrollment Managers account will not be able to complete enrollment when Conditional Access policy is enforced for that specific user login.

Company Portal Temporarily Unavailable

Issue: Users receive a Company Portal Temporarily Unavailable error on their device.

Resolution:

  1. Remove the Intune Company Portal app from the device.

  2. On the device, open the browser, browse to https://portal.manage.microsoft.com, and try a user login.

  3. If the user fails to sign in, they should try another network.

  4. If that fails, validate that the user's credentials have synced correctly with Azure Active Directory.

  5. If the user successfully logs in, an iOS/iPadOS device will prompt you to install the Intune Company Portal app and enroll. On an Android device, you'll need to manually install the Intune Company Portal app, after which you can retry enrolling.

Intune Company Portal Mac Download

MDM authority not defined

Issue: A user receives an MDM authority not defined error.

Resolution:

  1. Verify that the MDM Authority has been set appropriately.

  2. Verify that the user's credentials have synced correctly with Azure Active Directory. You can verify that the user's UPN matches the Active Directory information in the Microsoft 365 admin center.If the UPN doesn't match the Active Directory information:

    1. Turn off DirSync on the local server.

    2. Delete the mismatched user from the Intune Account Portal user list.

    3. Wait about one hour to allow the Azure service to remove the incorrect data.

    4. Turn on DirSync again and check if the user is now synced properly.

Mac

Unable to create policy or enroll devices if the company name contains special characters

Issue: You can't create policy or enroll devices.

Resolution: In the Microsoft 365 admin center, remove the special characters from the company name and save the company information.

Unable to sign in or enroll devices when you have multiple verified domains

Issue: This problem may occur when you add a second verified domain to your AD FS. Users with the user principal name (UPN) suffix of the second domain may not be able to log into the portals or enroll devices.

Resolution: Microsoft 365 customers are required to deploy a separate instance of the AD FS 2.0 Federation Service for each suffix if they:

  • use single sign-on (SSO) through AD FS 2.0, and
  • have multiple top-level domains for users' UPN suffixes within their organization (for example, @contoso.com or @fabrikam.com).

A rollup for AD FS 2.0 works in conjunction with the SupportMultipleDomain switch to enable the AD FS server to support this scenario without requiring additional AD FS 2.0 servers. For more information, see this blog.

Android issues

Android enrollment errors

The following table lists errors that end users might see while enrolling Android devices in Intune.

Error messageIssueResolution
IT admin needs to assign license for access
Your IT admin hasn't given you access to use this app. Get help from your IT admin or try again later.
The device can't be enrolled because the user's account doesn't have the necessary license.Before users can enroll their devices, they must have been assigned the necessary license. This message means that they have the wrong license type for the mobile device management authority. For example, they'll see this error if both of the following are true:
  1. Intune has been set as the mobile device management authority
  2. They're using a System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager license.
For more information, see Assign Intune licenses to your user accounts.

Devices fail to check in with the Intune service and display as Unhealthy in the Intune admin console

Issue: Some Samsung devices that are running Android versions 4.4.x and 5.x might stop checking in with the Intune service. If devices don't check in:

  • They can't receive policy, apps, and remote commands from the Intune service.
  • They show a Management State of Unhealthy in the administrator console.
  • Users who are protected by Conditional Access policies might lose access to corporate resources.

Samsung Smart Manager software, which ships on certain Samsung devices, can deactivate the Intune Company Portal and its components. When the Company Portal is in a deactivated state, it can't run in the background and can't contact the Intune service.

Resolution 1:

Tell your users to start the Company Portal app manually. Once the app restarts, the device checks in with the Intune service.

Important

Opening the Company Portal app manually is a temporary solution, because Samsung Smart Manager may deactivate the Company Portal app again.

Resolution 2:

Tell your users to try upgrading to Android 6.0. The deactivation issue doesn't occur on Android 6.0 devices. To check if an update is available, go to Settings > About device > Download updates manually > follow the prompts.

Resolution 3:

If Resolution 2 doesn't work, have your users follow these steps to make Smart Manager exclude the Company Portal app:

  1. Launch the Smart Manager app on the device.

  2. Choose the Battery tile.

  3. Under App power saving or App optimization, select Detail.

  4. Choose Company Portal from the list of apps.

  5. Choose Turned off.

  6. Under App power saving or App optimization, confirm that Company Portal is turned off.

Profile installation failed

Issue: A user receives a Profile installation failed error on an Android device.

Resolution:

  1. Confirm that the user is assigned an appropriate license for the version of the Intune service that you're using.

  2. Confirm that the device isn't already enrolled with another MDM provider.

  3. Confirm that the device doesn't already have a management profile installed.

  4. Confirm that Chrome for Android is the default browser and that cookies are enabled.

Android certificate issues

Issue: Users receive the following message on their device:You can't sign in because your device is missing a required certificate.

Resolution 1:

The user might be able to retrieve the missing certificate by following the instructions in Your device is missing a required certificate. If the error persists, try Resolution 2.

Resolution 2:

After entering their corporate credentials and getting redirected for federated login, users might still see the missing certificate error. In this case, the error may mean that an intermediate certificate is missing from your Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) server

The certificate error occurs because Android devices require intermediate certificates to be included in an SSL Server hello. Currently, a default AD FS server or WAP - AD FS Proxy server installation sends only the AD FS service SSL certificate in the SSL server hello response to an SSL Client hello.

To fix the issue, import the certificates into the Computers Personal Certificates on the AD FS server or proxies as follows:

  1. On the AD FS and proxy servers, right-click Start > Run > certlm.msc to launch the Local Machine Certificate Management Console.
  2. Expand Personal and choose Certificates.
  3. Find the certificate for your AD FS service communication (a publicly signed certificate), and double-click to view its properties.
  4. Choose the Certification Path tab to see the certificate's parent certificate/s.
  5. On each parent certificate, choose View Certificate.
  6. Choose Details > Copy to file….
  7. Follow the wizard prompts to export or save the public key of the parent certificate to the file location of your choice.
  8. Right-click Certificates > All Tasks > Import.
  9. Follow the wizard prompts to import the parent certificate(s) to Local ComputerPersonalCertificates.
  10. Restart the AD FS servers.
  11. Repeat the above steps on all of your AD FS and proxy servers.

To verify a proper certificate installation, you can use the diagnostics tool available on https://www.digicert.com/help/. In the Server Address box, enter your AD FS server's FQDN, such as sts.contoso.com, and then click Check Server.

To validate that the certificate installed correctly:

The follow steps describe just one of many methods and tools that you can use to validate that the certificate installed correctly.

  1. Go to the free Digicert tool.
  2. Enter your AD FS server's fully qualified domain name (for example, sts.contoso.com) and select CHECK SERVER.

If the Server certificate is installed correctly, you see all check marks in the results. If the problem above exists, you see a red X in the Certificate Name Matches and the SSL Certificate is correctly Installed sections of the report.

Resolution 3:

The users are unable to authenticate in Company Portal. But they can authenticate in Microsoft Authenticator and web browsers.

This issue occurs if your AD FS server uses a user certificate rather than a certificate issued by a public certificate authority (CA).

There are two certificate stores in Android devices:

  • The user certificate store
  • The system certificate store

Staring in Android 7.0, apps ignore user certificates by default, unless the apps explicitly opt in. For more information, see Changes to Trusted Certificate Authorities in Android Nougat.

To fix this issue, use a certificate that chains to a publicly trusted root CA in your AD FS server. A list of public CAs on Android can be found at https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/ca-certificates/+/master/files/.

iOS/iPadOS issues

iOS/iPadOS enrollment errors

The following table lists errors that end users might see while enrolling iOS/iPadOS devices in Intune.

Devices are inactive or the admin console can't communicate with them

Issue: iOS/iPadOS devices aren't checking in with the Intune service. Devices must check in periodically with the service to maintain access to protected corporate resources. If devices don't check in:

  • They can't receive policy, apps, and remote commands from the Intune service.
  • They show a Management State of Unhealthy in the administrator console.
  • Users who are protected by Conditional Access policies might lose access to corporate resources.

Resolution: Share the following resolutions with your end users to help them regain access to corporate resources.

When users start the iOS/iPadOS Company Portal app, it can tell if their device has lost contact with Intune. If it detects that there's no contact, it automatically tries to sync with Intune to reconnect (users will see the Trying to sync… message).

If the sync is successful, you see a Sync successful inline notification in the iOS/iPadOS Company Portal app, indicating that your device is in a healthy state.

If the sync is unsuccessful, users see an Unable to sync inline notification in the iOS/iPadOS Company Portal app.

To fix the issue, users must select the Set up button, which is to the right of the Unable to sync notification. The Set up button takes users to the Company Access Setup flow screen, where they can follow the prompts to enroll their device.

Once enrolled, the devices return to a healthy state and regain access to company resources.

Verify WS-Trust 1.3 is enabled

Issue Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) iOS/iPadOS devices can't be enrolled

Enrolling ADE devices with user affinity requires WS-Trust 1.3 Username/Mixed endpoint to be enabled to request user tokens. Active Directory enables this endpoint by default. To get a list of enabled endpoints, use the Get-AdfsEndpoint PowerShell cmdlet and looking for the trust/13/UsernameMixed endpoint. For example:

For more information, see Get-AdfsEndpoint documentation.

For more information, see Best practices for securing Active Directory Federation Services. For help with determining if WS-Trust 1.3 Username/Mixed is enabled in your identity federation provider:

  • contact Microsoft Support if you use AD FS
  • contact your third-party identity vendor.

Profile installation failed

Issue: A user receives a Profile installation failed error on an iOS/iPadOS device.

Troubleshooting steps for failed profile installation

  1. Confirm that the user is assigned an appropriate license for the version of the Intune service that you're using.

  2. Confirm that the device isn't already enrolled with another MDM provider.

  3. Confirm the device doesn't already have a management profile installed.

  4. Navigate to https://portal.manage.microsoft.com and try to install the profile when prompted.

  5. Confirm that Safari for iOS/iPadOS is the default browser and that cookies are enabled.

User's iOS/iPadOS device is stuck on an enrollment screen for more than 10 minutes

Issue: An enrolling device may get stuck in either of two screens:

  • Awaiting final configuration from 'Microsoft'
  • Guided Access app unavailable. Please contact your administrator.

This issue can happen if:

  • there's a temporary outage with Apple services, or
  • iOS/iPadOS enrollment is set to use VPP tokens as shown in the table but there's something wrong with the VPP token.
Enrollment settingsValue
PlatformiOS/iPadOS
User AffinityEnroll with User Affinity
Authenticate with Company Portal instead of Apple Setup AssistantYes

Use the information in this article to help you add macOS line-of-business apps to Microsoft Intune. You must download an external tool to pre-process your .pkg files before you can upload your line-of-business file to Microsoft Intune. The pre-processing of your .pkg files must take place on a macOS device.

Note

Starting with the release of macOS Catalina 10.15, prior to adding your apps to Intune, check to make sure your macOS LOB apps are notarized. If the developers of your LOB apps did not notarize their apps, the apps will fail to run on your users' macOS devices. For more information about how to check if an app is notarized, visit Notarize your macOS apps to prepare for macOS Catalina.

Note

While users of macOS devices can remove some of the built-in macOS apps like Stocks, and Maps, you cannot use Intune to redeploy those apps. If end users delete these apps, they must go to the app store, and manually re install them.

Before your start

You must download an external tool, mark the downloaded tool as an executable, and pre-process your .pkg files with the tool before you can upload your line-of-business file to Microsoft Intune. The pre-processing of your .pkg files must take place on a macOS device. Use the Intune App Wrapping Tool for Mac to enable Mac apps to be managed by Microsoft Intune.

Important

The .pkg file must be signed using 'Developer ID Installer' certificate, obtained from an Apple Developer account. Only .pkg files may be used to upload macOS LOB apps to Microsoft Intune. However, conversion of other formats, such as .dmg to .pkg is supported. For more information about converting non-pkg application types, see How to deploy DMG or APP-format apps to Intune-managed Macs.

  1. Download the Intune App Wrapping Tool for Mac.

    Note

    The Intune App Wrapping Tool for Mac must be run on a macOS machine.

  2. Mark the downloaded tool as an executable:

    • Start the terminal app.
    • Change the directory to the location where IntuneAppUtil is located.
    • Run the following command to make the tool executable:
      chmod +x IntuneAppUtil
  3. Use the IntuneAppUtil command within the Intune App Wrapping Tool for Mac to wrap .pkg LOB app file from a .intunemac file.

    Sample commands to use for the Microsoft Intune App Wrapping Tool for macOS:

    Important

    Ensure that the argument <source_file> does not contain spaces before running the IntuneAppUtil commands.

    • IntuneAppUtil -h
      This command will show usage information for the tool.

    • IntuneAppUtil -c <source_file> -o <output_directory_path> [-v]
      This command will wrap the .pkg LOB app file provided in <source_file> to a .intunemac file of the same name and place it in the folder pointed to by <output_directory_path>.

    • IntuneAppUtil -r <filename.intunemac> [-v]
      This command will extract the detected parameters and version for the created .intunemac file.
