Here's an improved version of the CrowdStrike setup process for New MacBooks after Intune installation:

Completing CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor Setup on New MacBooks

This guide details the additional steps required to complete the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor setup after initial installation via Intune on a new MacBook.

Prerequisites:

  • You have a new MacBook with a CrowdStrike Falcon sensor installed through Intune.
  • You have access to the CrowdStrike vendor files containing the Customer ID (CID).

Steps:

  1. Adding the Customer ID (CID):

    • Locate the CID within the CrowdStrike vendor files. The CID is a unique identifier for your organization (example format: 59602A76CF9246A08C6166F93205FA6B-78).
    • Open the CrowdStrike Falcon application on your MacBook.
    • Look for a section or menu option related to "Settings" or "Configuration." (The exact location may vary slightly depending on the version.)
    • Find the field labeled "Customer ID" or similar wording and paste the copied CID.
    • Save the changes.

  2. Granting Permissions:

    • After adding the CID, you may encounter a series of permission requests from the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor. Follow the on-screen prompts carefully to grant the necessary permissions:
      • Falcon Sensor System Extension: Click "Setup" to manually approve the system extension.
      • Network Content Filtering: Click "Allow" if you want CrowdStrike to filter network content.
      • System Extension Blocked: If you encounter a "System Extension Blocked" message, open "System Settings" and navigate to the "Security & Privacy" section. Click "Allow" next to "System Extensions" and then "Continue."
      • Full Disk Access: If you see a "Full Disk Access not granted" message, go to "System Settings" and select "Security & Privacy." Under "Privacy," click on "Full Disk Access." Locate "Falcon Sensor" in the list and turn it on by checking the box next to it.

  3. Completing Setup:

    • Once you've granted all the necessary permissions, click "Continue" and then "Finish" to complete the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor setup.

Additional Notes:

  • If you encounter any difficulties during this process, refer to the official CrowdStrike documentation or contact your IT support team for assistance.
  • The specific wording of prompts and menu options might vary slightly depending on your CrowdStrike Falcon sensor and macOS versions.

This revised version provides a clearer structure with prerequisites, numbered steps, permissions explanations, and additional troubleshooting notes.
