Hi BossSayBootz,
Sorry for the late response, the information you are looking for can be found here in Microsoft's documentation.

Nice Article. Alas,,, what about removing Windows Defender; Is it not as important, to not be running two endpoint protection applications at the same time?My understanding is that Defender will automatically enter into a passive state when it detects another AV product installed... However is that true and for Microsoft Servers as well?

Thanks!
Where can I find the Mac equivalent instruction of this for the .intunemac package? A co-worker and I have tried to create custom scripted packages since the installer, as it comes, is an .app not a pgk file. Our best result so far gets rejected by intune because the MacOSLobChildApp (aka the sophos client installer) has an null or empty BuildNumber.
Thank you for the clear how to. It saved us hours.
Recently (over the past month) the installation stopped working on all new computers/ clients. I opened a ticket with Sophos but they weren't able to help me out. Anyone have any ideas? Did this happen to you?
