Microsoft Defender onboarding Issues for MAC

Question

Has anyone ever ran into this issue when you try to onboard your MAC with Microsoft Defender:

Generating /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Defender/com.microsoft.wdav.atp.plist /Users/willhardison/Documents/Defender/MicrosoftDefenderATPOnboardingMacOs.sh: line 37: /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Defender/com.microsoft.wdav.atp.plist: Operation not permitted

That it would permit me to onboard the package

Answer 1

Try running this command before launching the script:

sudo mdatp config tamper-protection enforcement-level --value Disabled

Then run the script:

sudo bash MicrosoftDefenderATPOnboardingMacOS.sh

Enable the tamper protection:

sudo mdatp config tamper-protection enforcement-level --value Block
