Learn how to add and configure the Microsoft Company Portal Auto App and required settings for MSDC
To ensure device compliance, end users need to register their Mac with Microsoft using the Company Portal app. To install the Microsoft Company Portal on macOS devices, visit the Kandji Library.
Add a Microsoft Company Portal Library Item
- Navigate to Library in the left-hand navigation bar.
- Click Add New on the top-right, and choose Company Portal.
- Click Add & Configure.
- Optionally, assign a Label.
- Assign to your desired Assignment Maps or Classic Blueprints. If this is the first time deploying MSDC, it is a good idea to deploy to a test blueprint scoped to a limited number of macOS devices so that you can see how it functions when deployed.
- For the Installation type, choose Install and continuously enforce.
- Select an option from the Version Enforcement dropdown. Your options include the following:
- Do not manage updates
- Automatically enforce new updates
- Manually enforce a minimum version
- Click Save.
For additional information on settings and options for Auto Apps, please refer to the Auto Apps Overview support article.
User Registration
Once the Microsoft Company portal is installed on the Mac, the Kandji agent will attempt to launch the app automatically, following a specific process required by Microsoft so that end users can begin the registration process. For more information about what users should expect, see our Microsoft Device Compliance: User Registration Experience support article.
Compliance Status
After a user has registered their device, see our Microsoft Device Compliance: Validating Compliance support article to verify the compliance status.
