If you use pkgutil to expand the InstallMacOSX.pkg it opens to three items, the Distribution file, InstallMacOSX.pkg and Resources. You can alter the Distribution file to ignore the supported platform check, see below.

Composer allows you to rebuild an existing package (PKG, DMG, or MPKG) by converting it to a package source. After converting it to a package source, you can make changes to its contents and save a new copy of the package. Open Composer and authenticate locally. Drag the package you want to convert from the Finder to the sidebar in Composer. This sample script demonstrates how the above steps can convert a DMG file to INTUNEMAC.

If you have the time I would be grateful if you could give this a trial, it works here on my mac, but I would like confirmation from yourself or any others reading this that the procedure works on macs that came with macOS Sierra or newer pre-installed.

If you’ve been watching the Intune Whats New page closely, you may have noticed you can now use Intune to push down applications to MacOS devices. This is a quick post on how to achieve that – We’ll use Skype for Business as the example app.

The IT admin process is pretty straight forward but I must admit I tripped on a couple of syntax issues the first time I did this so I’ll blog it here with some syntax to save you some time. Your welcome 😊

Step 1 – Get the app package (.pkg file)

First you need to acquire the app as a .pkg file.

(Conversion of other formats e.g. “.DMG” to “.PKG” is not supported.)

On a Mac, Logon to http://portal.office.com as a user licensed for Office 365 Pro Plus and download the Skype for Business .pkg file.

Step 2 – Convert it to a format that Intune understands (.intunemac)

On a Mac, download the Intune app wrapping tool from Github ( https://github.com/msintuneappsdk/intune-app-wrapping-tool-mac)

Once you have it downloaded, Open a Terminal session and navigate to the directory where the IntuneAppUtil tool was placed. Run this syntax to convert from .pkg to .intuneMac format

(-c is the input file and -o is the output directory)

You now have an .intunemac file you can distribute with Intune

Dmg Vs Pkg

Step 3 – Upload to intune

In the Intune console, go to Mobile Apps> Apps>Add> Line-of-business App

Choose the .intunemac file to upload.

Dmg To Iso Windows

In the App Information blade, you can configure some metadata and add an icon.

Click Ok, and Add and wait for the app to be uploaded.

Step 4 – Assign it

Select the Skype for Business app, Assignments, then assign it to a User and/or Device group as a Required install.

(Note: At the time of writing this post, Available install isnt an option)

Don’t forget to click save.

On Intune enrolled Mac’s, Skype for Business will be installed seamlessly and be ready for use.

Tip: If you want to watch the progress of the install, open the Console utility on the Mac and filter for the Bundle ID. (For Skype this is com.microsoft.package.Microsoft_autoUpdate.app)

Use filter for App keywords: “Skype”

Filter on the Thread ID for app download and installation

Other handy filters for troubleshooting are mdmclient and Company Portal
