It states for the Endpoint Protection client for Macs, which I somewhat expected:

'These products cannot be managed from the Configuration Manager console. However, a System Center Operations Manager management pack is supplied with the installation files, which allows you to manage the client for Linux by using Operations Manager.'

Based on that, I'm not certain you can remotely manage this Mac's endpoint protection with SCOM. Curious to hear from others who may know more.

What I do know is that our Avast for Business client supports Macs and you can manage it remotely, schedule and push scans, see threat interceptions, etc. :) Shameless, I know, I know, but it very well might be a good solution for you in this case, especially if you have other Mac workstations/servers or plan to add more and need something to watch them all.

The Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) is the current recommended Antivirus/Malware application for university-owned Windows based computers. University Owned Mac computers may install ESET.

Note: Retirees and alumni are not eligible to obtain Queen's licensed antivirus software.
