SCCM only supports the App model when working with Mac’s and therefore it prompts the user to perform the installation. That being said, I used the DCM features and some creative shell scripting to be able to perform a silent install.
When you are frequently deploying devices without a build-in network device, like MS Surfaces, DELL XPS devices and tablets, you know the burden of using USB-Ethernet adapters. These devices have their own MAC-address and when used repeatedly, you constantly have to remove the old devices to add new devices for deployment. Before SCCM CB version 1610 you could add these MAC-addresses to the registry by adding them to “ExcludeMACaddress” under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSMSComponents SMS_DISCOVERY_DATA_MANAGER
From CB 1610 on you can now add these USB-Ethernet adapters to the field “Duplicate hardware identifiers”. The idea behind this is that you don’t have to remove the devices, associated with certain USB-Ethernet adapters, anymore. Underneath a short tutorial on how to add MAC-Addresses to the “Duplicate hardware identifiers”
- The Parallels Mac Management add-in has been a GREAT addition for enterprises already using System Center Configuration Manager to manage their Windows systems to ALSO manage their Macs.
- Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM extends Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager with the ability to manage Mac computers and Apple mobile devices. For companies that already use Microsoft SCCM to manage Windows computers in their organization, Parallels Mac.

Step 2. Click on the tab “Client Approval and Conflicting Records”
Step 3. Click on “Add” to add your MAC-addresses to the field “Hardware ID’s”.
Step 4. When you have added all your MAC-Addresses you can close all windows by clicking “OK”.
Now you can keep using your USB-Ethernet adapters without removing the old associations with the devices you used them on before.
