Deploying the Proximos Application

Option A — PKG:
  1. Retrieve the latest Proximos .pkg file (this link always hosts the latest version).
  2. Go to Apps → macOS → + Create, then set App type to Other → macOS app (PKG).
  3. Step 1: Upload Proximos.pkg. Optionally change the name or description and add the Proximos logo. Enter the Publisher as “Enlazo Systems LLC.” Click Next.
  4. Step 2: Skip the Pre-install and Post-install scripts. Click Next.
  5. Step 3: Set the Minimum operating system to macOS High Sierra 10.13. Click Next.
  6. Step 4: Set Ignore App Version to Yes. The App Bundle ID should auto-detect as com.enlazo.proximos. Click Next.
  7. Step 5: Under Assignments, assign to your devices using your custom groups, users, or devices. Click Next.
  8. Step 6: Review, then click + Create.
Option B — DMG:
  1. Retrieve the latest Proximos .dmg file.
  2. Go to Apps → macOS → + Create, then set App type to Other → macOS app (DMG).
  3. Step 1: Upload Proximos.dmg. Optionally change the name or description and add the Proximos logo. Enter the Publisher as “Enlazo Systems LLC.” Click Next.
  4. Step 2: Skip the Pre-install and Post-install scripts. Click Next.
  5. Step 3: Set the Minimum operating system to macOS High Sierra 10.13. Click Next.

  8. Step 6: Review, then click + Create.
Option C — Installation Script: Wraps an App install as an Intune shell script which always installs the latest version. This can be less maintenance than maintaining a current .DMG or .PKG file in Intune.
  1. Go to Devices → macOS → Scripts → Add.
  2. Step 1: Name the script “Proximos App.”
  3. Step 2: Upload the Proximos Install or Update.sh script, found in the Extras → Deployment Scripts folder inside Proximos.dmg. Set Run script as signed-in user to No. Set the Script frequency to Every 1 week if you want the app to update weekly. Set Max number of times to retry if script fails to 3. Click Next.
  4. Step 3: Under Assignments, assign to your devices using your custom groups, users, or devices. Click Next.
  5. Step 4: Review, then click + Add.

Deploying Proximos Settings

  1. After configuring all Proximos settings on a test admin Mac, In Proximos, go to Settings → Export Settings Tab → Export as .plist… and save com.enlazo.proximos.settings.plist.
  2. In Intune, go to Devices → macOS → Configuration → + Create → New policy.
  3. Set Platform to macOS and Profile type to Templates → Preference File. Click Create.
  4. Step 1: Name the profile “Proximos Settings.” Click Next.
  5. Step 2: Set the Preference domain name to com.enlazo.proximos.settings with no “.plist” at the end. Under Property list file, select your exported Proximos Settings.plist. Click Next.
  6. Step 3: Under Assignments, assign to your devices using your custom groups, users, or devices. Click Next.
  7. Step 4: Review, then click + Add.

Deploying the Proximos PPPC Profile

Intune supports uploading custom configuration profiles directly, which is how the Full PPPC Profile is deployed.
  1. In Proximos, go to Settings → Extras → Proximos PPPC Profiles → Export Full Profile and save Proximos PPPC Profile.mobileconfig — or retrieve it from the Extras folder inside Proximos.dmg.
  2. In Intune, go to Devices → macOS → Configuration → + Create → New policy.
  3. Set Platform to macOS and Profile type to Templates → Custom. Click Create.
  4. Step 1: Name the profile “Proximos PPPC Profile.” Click Next.
  5. Step 2: Set the Custom configuration profile name to “Proximos Settings.” Set the Deployment channel to Device channel. Under Configuration profile file, upload the Proximos Full PPPC.mobileconfig file from the Extras folder inside Proximos.dmg. Click Next.
  6. Step 3: Under Assignments, assign to your devices using your custom groups, users, or devices. Click Next.
  7. Step 4: Review, then click + Add.

​
Deploying the System or Headless Launch Agent

Intune only supports signed PKG files that contain a .app, so we cannot install Launch Agents via .pkg with Intune. Instead, a launch agent must be deployed as a shell script rather than a package.
  1. Retrieve either the Proximos System (Or Headless) Launch Agent.sh file from Extras → Proximos MDM Scripts → Deployment Scripts inside Proximos.dmg, or export your own from Settings → Extras in the Proximos app.
  2. In Intune, go to Devices → macOS → Scripts → Add.
  3. Step 1: Name the script “Proximos Launch Agent.”
  4. Step 2: Upload either the Proximos System or Proximos Headless Launch Agent.sh script. Set Run script as signed-in user to No. Set the Script frequency to Every 1 day. Click Next.
  5. Step 3: Under Assignments, assign to your devices using your custom groups, users, or devices. Click Next.
  6. Step 4: Review, then click + Add.
Note: The launch agent deployment scripting automatically detect Proximos’ .app location on the Mac endpoint, and creates the Launch Agent for that location. See About the System Launch Agent for guidance on choosing between the standard and headless variants.
