At the end of this page every Mac you assign in Mosyle has Quint installed, both system extensions approved without a prompt, and is joined to your organisation. For what each file does, see Roll out with MDM.
Mosyle is partly tested: the approvals profile and the installer have been pushed through Mosyle with no click on the Mac. If any step needed a click on the Mac, tell Quint support.

​
Before you start

  • Macs on macOS 14 or later, enrolled in Mosyle with user-approved MDM or Automated Device Enrollment.
  • A Mosyle account that can add custom profiles and install packages. If Custom Profiles is not under Management, add it first from Mosyle’s Additional Profiles Marketplace.
  • The Admin or Owner role in the Quint dashboard, to make the package.
Mosyle has no way to make a profile land before a package. So you work in two passes: assign both profiles, confirm they reached a Mac, and only then assign the installer.
1

Make the package

In Quint, open Add machines. Choose Mac, then A device management tool (MDM), then Mosyle, and name the package for the group. Click Make my files and download quint-approvals.mobileconfig and the quint-enrollment-….mobileconfig file. You don’t need to download the installer: Mosyle fetches it from its link. See Add machines.
2

Add the approvals profile

In Mosyle, open Management › Custom Profiles and click Add new profile. If Custom Profiles is not listed, add it from Mosyle’s Additional Profiles Marketplace first, then come back here. Name it “Quint approvals” and select quint-approvals.mobileconfig.
  • Turn off Enable Variables for this profile. The profile has no Mosyle variables, and nothing in it may be changed.
  • Keep Profile Scope at System (Default). Quint’s settings are for the whole Mac; a user scope does not deliver them.
  • Assign it to the Macs you are adding, then Save. Mosyle installs it on save.
3

Add the enrollment profile

Add a second custom profile the same way. Name it “Quint enrollment”, select the quint-enrollment-….mobileconfig file, use the same settings, and assign it to the same Macs.
4

Confirm the profiles landed

On one assigned Mac, open System Settings › General › Device Management (on macOS 14, Privacy & Security › Profiles). “Quint approvals” and “Quint enrollment” are listed. Wait for this before you assign the installer.
5

Add the installer by its link

Open Management › Install PKG. On the PKGs tab, click Add new package, choose Already have a .pkg, then Next. Paste the installer’s public link:
Tick This app is Signed, then click Add enterprise app. Mosyle reads the app’s name and version from the installer. The installer is the same for every organisation; the wizard’s Mac installer row shows the current version.
6

Assign the installer

On the Profiles tab of Install PKG, click Add new profile, name it, and add the Quint app. This Profile is the installer profile: it tells Mosyle which Macs get the package. It is not a custom profile, and it does not replace the two you added under Custom Profiles. Tick Install with Apple Protocol, assign it to the same Macs, then Save.
7

Verify each machine

The wizard’s First computer step shows the first Mac’s checks. Then open Data Sources: each Mac appears under Telemetry by host with its Capture layers and Last seen. Verify a machine explains each state.

​
After the rollout

A package admits new computers for one year from the day it is made, up to its limit. Machines & licensing shows both. When it is full, expired or stopped, make a new package and replace the “Quint enrollment” profile’s file in Mosyle with the new one. The approvals profile and the installer stay as they are.

​
If this fails

​
Remove the endpoint

Remove the endpoint first, while both Quint profiles are still assigned, and unassign the profiles last. See Remove a machine.
