TMA-INTUNE-MACOS-2.8.30

Ensure "Allow Diagnostic Submission" is set to "False"

MediumLevel 1Manual reviewintune-macos

Description

macOS devices collect and send diagnostic and usage data to Apple to help improve their products and services. This feature includes Mac Analytics, Siri & Dictation improvements, and app developer sharing. When enabled, the device automatically submits diagnostic information. The benchmark marks this a Manual check of an Intune macOS policy setting that cannot be read from the endpoint with a script, so TMAegis lists it as a manual review item with the audit steps (the policy must be inspected in the Intune admin center or on the managed device).

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

macOS: Intune admin center: Expand the Restrictions heading; Verify that Allow Diagnostic Submission is present and set to False. On the device: Double-click com.apple.applicationaccess Profile; Under the Details section; Confirm Allow Diagnostic Submission is set to False

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Intune admin center: Select Restrictions; Check Allow Diagnostic Submission; On the left side of the page set Allow Diagnostic Submission to False; Verify that Allow Diagnostic Submission is present and set to False
