Intune for macOS
Intune for macOS is a fixed price configuration service that enables you to manage your Apple Macs with Microsoft Intune.
Now you can provision, deploy, manage, update and retire Macs remotely, all from the Intune console.
Hear Alexander Horwatt from New York City Public Schools discuss how over 1,800 hundred schools, nearly 1 million students and over one million mac, iPad and Windows devices under management in Intune today.
Are you paying a Mac Tax?
Macs have been a challenge for IT for many years. In some business, they are simply ignored, left unmanaged and unencrypted – even though they are often used by senior people who access sensitive data.
Other businesses have invested in specialist tools like Jamf or Mosyle to manage Macs. This was necessary because in the past Intune was not really good enough to manage Macs at scale.
These tools can be expensive and for clients who already have Intune, that becomes an additional tax on the total cost of ownership for macOS.
Wouldn’t it be great if Intune could manage macOS……
Good news – Intune can manage your macOS fleet
Intune can now manage the entire lifecycle of your macOS.
Really? What has changed?
Microsoft has invested heavily in macOS management with Intune over the past couple of years and the management functionality has improved dramatically. The biggest breakthroughs are as follows:
- 1
Platform Single Sign-On: Mac users only need one set of credentials (no need for a local account) which is integrated to Apple’s Secure Enclave to allow for phish-resistant, passwordless authentication with Touch ID. No more messy login, log-out, keychain sync issues.
- 2
Automated device enrollment: streamlined process to make sure all the necessary configurations are applied during the Setup Assistant phase.
- 3
OS update management: Intune uses DDM to manage the macOS update process to ensure important security patches and feature updates are applied. Better security and less work for admins
- 4
Complex App Management: Intune can deploy and manage a broader range of macOS apps. Better user experience and less management overhead.
- 5
Settings catalogue: configure policies, profiles and compliance with proven settings and reduce the need for Bash scripting.
And the innovation continues! The partnership between Microsoft and Apple is stronger than ever, with regular cadence calls between the Intune and macOS engineering team to continue adding new capabilities.

Why SMBs Are Turning to Modern MSPs for Cybersecurity and Compliance
Cyber threats are no longer reserved for the enterprise world. In fact, small businesses and small/mid-sized corporations are increasingly becoming prime targets. Attackers know that many growing businesses lack the time, tools, and expertise to defend themselves properly. That’s why more companies are partnering with modern Managed Services Providers (MSPs) to strengthen security and simplify compliance. Here’s how this move puts growing businesses in a stronger, more resilient position.
Empowering SMBs and SMCs with Modern Managed IT for Greater Productivity and Support
For small businesses and corporations with growing teams, technology should be a valuable asset, not a source of daily frustration. However, without the right support, even minor IT hiccups can escalate into significant disruptions and often a time drain.
