You can use Jamf Pro to deploy the Carbon Black Cloud macOS sensor on macOS systems that are running Big Sur.

We recommend that you use the latest macOS sensor version for your deployment. The configuration documented here was tested using the following versions:

  • macOS Big Sur 11.4
  • Jamf Pro 10.30
  • macOS sensor 3.5.3.82
Note: We offer this procedure as guidance only. VMware does not provide official support of Jamf software.

The basic deployment workflow is as follows:

  1. Create and deploy a configuration profile.
  2. Deploy a distribution policy that subsequently deploys a package that you created in Jamf Pro to a temporary location. The policy then runs a script that contains the installer package location and the company registration. Optionally, the script can install the sensor in Kernel extension mode. System Extension is the default mode.

To deploy the macOS sensor by using Jamf Pro, perform the following steps:

  1. Download a macOS sensor kit and obtain a company registration code.
  2. Create a package using Jamf Composer.
  3. Obtain, prepare, and upload the installation script.
  4. Create and deploy a configuration profile.
  5. Create and assign smart computer groups.
