Does anyone have any information on creating an App Configuration Policy in Intune to push the Distribution ID and Username to the iOS XDR Agent on an iPhone/iPad?

Hi @Chris_BrownWPG,

 

I'm glad support was able to get you on the right track!

@Chris_BrownWPG How did you go about deploying the XDR for iOS agent via Intune?  According to MS, the best we could come up with was deploying two web clips which are basically URL links, one to the hidden app store install and the other with the distribution ID.  This isn't optimal because it requires the end user to tap each link and manually complete the process.  Were you able to find a better way?

We had to deploy the Cortex XDR App using Apple Business Manager. Because we have a VPP token connected from ABM to Intune, once this was added to ABM, the App synced with Intune and from there I was able to create an App Configuration Policy in Intune with the following XML file:
<dict>
<key>distributionId</key>
<string>***Place your distributionID here***</string>
<key>mdmVendor</key>
<string>Intune</string>
<key>udid</key>
<string>{{UDID}}</string>
<key>serialNumber</key>
<string>{{SERIALNUMBER}}</string>
<key>username</key>
<string>{{partialupn}}</string>
<key>fullName</key>
<string>{{FULLNAME}}</string>
</dict>

Thanks @Chris_BrownWPG How did you go about getting it added to ABM?  We have the VPP connected to Intune but we couldn't figure out how to get it in ABM since it's listed as a private app.

In ABM under Apps and Books on the Search bar, we used the URL from the app download link from the Cortex Console -> Agent Installations page. When the URL is pated into the search, it should show the Cortex XDR App.

@Chris_BrownWPG Thank you. This is very helpful.  I noticed that this app needs to be kept running in the background to ensure it can communicate with the XDR cloud.  Did you find a way to ensure it's always running on iOS with Intune?

No, we have not been able to enforce that the users keep it running with Intune. We did ask that they do so, and explained the benefits, namely the SMS and Spam Call blocking, most users were receptive to that.  I haven't looked into it any further, if I find a solution, I'll be sure to post it.
