You can use macOS to renew your certificate enrollment with your configuration profile via two methods:

  • Simple certificate enrollment protocol (SCEP), which often uses a Microsoft certificate authority (CA) Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES).
  • DCOM/RPC (ADCertificate), which relies on a Microsoft Windows Server Certificate Authority (CA).

About certificates

In macOS, you can get and renew your certificate with the same profile. macOS alerts you as a certificate nears its expiration date:

  • When a certificate is 15 days from its expiration date, you get a reminder.
  • When a certificate is less than 15 days from its expiration date, a banner appears in Notification Center. This notification repeats once a day until the certificate expires or you update or remove it.

Apr 22, 2015  A note to anyone like George who is looking for the updated Endpoint Protection installer, it IS updated in the disk image in the System Center 2012 R2 download, even though the date on the VLSC page for it has not changed since 2013. Nov 27, 2016  Chad, Looking online at Microsoft it appears that the Mac and Linux client support for SCEP 2012 was a separate add-on provided later than the original release and delivered through the Volume Licensing Center rather than the main support channel for SCEP itself. SCEP for Mac and Linux: End of Life. Support for System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) for Mac and Linux (all versions) ends on December 31, 2018. If you are using any version of SCEP for Mac or SCEP for Linux, plan to migrate to a replacement endpoint protection product for Mac and Linux clients.

To update a certificate, in the Profiles pane of System Preferences, click the certificate profile, then click Update.

  1. Jun 27, 2012  To install System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection for Mac, follow these steps: Note Running two antivirus programs on the same computer can cause performance problems and system instability. Uninstall any antivirus software that is currently installed on your computer before you install System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection for Mac.
  2. In Case You Missed It Microsoft recently announced end of support for their Mac and Linux anti-virus (AV) product called Security Center Endpoint Protection or more commonly SCEP. Specifically, the Microsoft Tech Community announcement stated the following: End of Support for SCEP for Mac and SCEP for Linux on December 31, 2018 Support for System.
  3. SCEP for Mac and Linux: End of Life. Support for System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) for Mac and Linux (all versions) ends on December 31, 2018. If you are using any version of SCEP for Mac or SCEP for Linux, plan to migrate to a replacement endpoint protection product for Mac and Linux clients.

Renew with ADCertificate

In the Profiles pane of System Preferences, click the Update button to create a new private key. The new private key is used to sign the certificate request that’s sent to the CA. The new certificate from the CA is paired with the new private key.

The original certificate and private key that were created when the profile was installed stay in the keychain.

Learn how to automatically renew certificates delivered via a configuration profile.

Renew with SCEP

Click the Update button in the Profiles pane of System Preferences. The current private key is used to sign the certificate request that’s sent to the CA. When CA renews the certificate, it pairs it with the original private key.

The original certificate that was created when the profile was installed stays in the keychain.

Renew through the command line

In macOS 10.12 Sierra and later, you can renew the ADCertificate and SCEP profile-generated certificates with the /usr/bin/profiles command. Use the following syntax in the command line:

profiles -W -p <profileIdentifier value>

You can find the 'profileIdentifier' value by listing the installed profiles with the -L command argument.

Set up renewal notifications

Yosemite and later versions of macOS display a daily notification when the certificate has less than 14 days until it expires.

You can change the daily notification time with two configuration parameters called CertificateRenewalTimeInterval and CertificateRenewalTimePercent:

Parameter Application MethodAllowed ValuesValue Type
CertificateRenewalTimeIntervalProfile Manager configuration profile: ADCert or SCEPGreater than 14 days, or less than the maximum lifetime of the certificate in daysDays (integer)
CertificateRenewalTimePercent/usr/sbin/defaultsBetween 1 and 50Percentage (integer)

You can apply the CertificateRenewalTimePercent with syntax like this:

You can use these two settings together:

  • If CertificateRenewalTimeInterval is defined in the profile, use that value.
  • If CertificateRenewalTimeInterval isn't defined in the profile, but is defined on the client, use the value of the CertificateRenewalTimePercent.

If neither value is defined, the time interval is set to 14 days.

Learn more

The profile you used to create the ADCert or SCEP certificate might be removed. If you use Mavericks or a later version of macOS, the most recent certificate and private key are removed from the keychain, but the original certificate isn’t. You have to delete it.

The profile you used to get the certificate might have other payloads linked to the certificate. Examples of payloads include Network: EAP-TLS, VPN: OnDemand certificate-based authentication. When the certificate is renewed, the dependent configurations are updated for the new certificate.

After a certificate is renewed, the installed profile is associated with the new certificate. When a certificate is renewed, no additional profiles are installed or created.

Endpoint Protection manages antimalware policies and Windows Firewall security for client computers in your Configuration Manager hierarchy.

Important

You must be licensed to use Endpoint Protection to manage clients in your Configuration Manager hierarchy.

When you use Endpoint Protection with Configuration Manager, you have the following benefits:

  • Configure antimalware policies, Windows Firewall settings, and manage Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection to selected groups of computers
  • Use Configuration Manager software updates to download the latest antimalware definition files to keep client computers up-to-date
  • Send email notifications, use in-console monitoring, and view reports. These actions inform administrative users when malware is detected on client computers.

Beginning with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 computers, Windows Defender is already installed. For these operating systems, a management client for Windows Defender is installed when the Configuration Manager client installs. On Windows 8.1 and earlier computers, the Endpoint Protection client is installed with the Configuration Manager client. Windows Defender and the Endpoint Protection client have the following capabilities:

  • Malware and spyware detection and remediation
  • Rootkit detection and remediation
  • Critical vulnerability assessment and automatic definition and engine updates
  • Network vulnerability detection through Network Inspection System
  • Integration with Cloud Protection Service to report malware to Microsoft. When you join this service, the Endpoint Protection client or Windows Defender downloads the latest definitions from the Malware Protection Center when unidentified malware is detected on a computer.

Note

The Endpoint Protection client can be installed on a server that runs Hyper-V and on guest virtual machines with supported operating systems. To prevent excessive CPU usage, Endpoint Protection actions have a built-in randomized delay so that protection services do not run simultaneously.

In addition, you manage Windows Firewall settings with Endpoint Protection in the Configuration Manager console.

Example scenario: Using System Center Endpoint Protection to protect computers from malware Endpoint Protection and the Windows Firewall.

Managing Malware with Endpoint Protection

Endpoint Protection in Configuration Manager allows you to create antimalware policies that contain settings for Endpoint Protection client configurations. Deploy these antimalware policies to client computers. Then monitor compliance in the Endpoint Protection Status node under Security in the Monitoring workspace. Also use Endpoint Protection reports in the Reporting node.

I have to admit that my spreadsheet has over 50,000 of rows, 30+ columns and 10+ spreadsheets but there are no macros and images used at all. Can you buy just microsoft excel for mac. Each time I input a number, it would take 5 seconds to return the correct values and it is just not acceptable on an advanced device like the iPad Pro.
