Enable Guest Account on MacOS using Intune

In this post, we’ll go over the steps to enable guest accounts on macOS using Intune. On macOS devices, you can enable the guest account by either using a shell script or through the settings catalog in Intune.

On Macs, the guest user account lets other people use your computer without putting your own account at risk. This includes your browsing history, the apps you’re using, your current settings, and anything else you wouldn’t want other people to change or see.

By default, the guest user account is disabled on a new MacBook that you purchase. To configure the guest user account on a Mac, users have to manually enable the Guest User option under System Preferences. However, if the macOS devices are managed by Intune, you can use the settings catalog which is a preferred method to enable or disable the guest account.

Enable Guest Account on MacOS using Intune


Let’s create a new configuration profile that will enable guest accounts on macOS using Intune.


  • Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
  • Go to Devices > macOS > macOS Devices.
  • To create a new profile, select Create Profile.
  • Choose the Profile type as Settings Catalog and click Next.


In the Basics tab, enter the following information.


  • Name: Enter a descriptive name for the profile which you can easily identify later. For example, a good profile name is ‘Enable Guest Account on MacOS using Intune‘.
  • Description: Enter a brief description for the profile. This setting is optional, but recommended.


Click Next.


In the Configuration Settings section, under Settings Catalog, click Add Settings. The Settings catalog in Intune allows managing settings for macOS devices. You can select multiple settings and configure those settings and target them to devices and users.

On the Settings picker window, type “guest” in the search box and click Search. Select the setting: Accounts > Enable Guest Account from the search results. Close the Settings picker window.

Note: You also have a setting to disable guest accounts for macOS. Use this option to disable guest accounts on macOS.

For the setting “Enable Guest Account” turn the slider to the right that will enable the guest account on macOS devices. Click Next.

In Intune, Scope tags determine which objects admins can see. In the Scope tags section, you specify scope tags. Click Next.

In the Assignments tab, specify the groups to which you want to apply this policy. I advise testing the enablement of guest users on a few macOS devices first, and then rolling it out to more devices if the testing is successful. Select Next.

On the Review, + Create page, review all the settings that you have defined to enable guest users on macOS devices via Intune and select Create.

After you create a configuration policy in Intune, a notification appears, “Policy created successfully“. This confirms the policy is created and is being applied to the groups that we selected. The new profile that we created to enable guest accounts on macOS devices appears under the list of Configuration Profiles in Intune.


Monitor the macOS Guest Account Policy in Intune


In the above step, we assigned a configuration profile to macOS devices that will enable the guest user account. You can monitor the status of configuration profiles assigned to macOS devices/users in the Intune portal.

In the Intune admin center, navigate to Devices > macOS > macOS policies > Configuration Profiles. Select the “Enable Guest Account on macOS” configuration profile, and here you can see the Device and user check-in status. The device check-in status shows the number of devices the guest account has been enabled successfully, while the latter option applies to users.

From the screenshot below, we see the configuration profile that we assigned to enable the guest account on macOS has succeeded on devices. To view the macOS devices that have guest user accounts enabled, click View Report. In the next step, we will verify if the guest account is enabled on the macOS devices.

Verify if the Guest User account is enabled on macOS Devices


In this step, we will check whether the guest account is enabled on macOS devices. I had to restart my MacBook once as there was an issue with the company portal in synchronizing the policies. After the restart, the Guest User account was shown at the login.

Set MacOS Desktop Wallpaper using Intune: Step-by-Step Guide

In this post, I will show you how to set up MacOS desktop wallpaper using Intune. With the help of a desktop wallpaper script and a mobile config file, you can perform macOS desktop wallpaper deployment with Intune. For Windows devices, most organizations prefer to use a group policy to deploy desktop background wallpaper. It works well on Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. For Intune-managed macOS devices, you have to use a combination of shell script and a custom configuration profile to set desktop wallpaper. One of the members of the Intune Telegram group asked for a tutorial on how to set desktop wallpaper for macOS using Intune. Despite the fact that it appeared difficult, I wanted to test it in my lab and confirm that it worked. Now that my testing is complete, I was able to set desktop wallpaper for macOS devices using Intune, and I’ll walk you through the process. http://hnpoiema.iptime.org/g5/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=181139 http://jkm666.com/forum.php?mod=viewthr...

Run CMPivot Queries from Intune Admin Center (Tenant Attach)

In this post, you’ll learn how to run CMPivot queries from Intune admin center. Microsoft Intune makes it easy to run CMPivot queries on tenant-attached devices and assess the state of devices in your environment. To run the CMPivot query on a device in Intune, you must first enable the tenant to attach. Tenant attach connects your Intune tenant to your on-premises SCCM environment. Once you have configured the tenant attachment, you view and manage devices directly from the Intune Admin Center. Take a look at the guide on enabling SCCM tenants attach. With Configuration Manager, CMPivot query can query the data in real-time on all currently connected devices in the selected collection. Microsoft has extended the CMPivot feature to Intune, where you can run the CMPivot queries on the tenant-attached devices. For example, your Helpdesk team can launch real-time cloud queries against a single ConfigMgr-managed device and return the results to the Intune admin center. In this post, we’ll ...
