Installing VPN client on macOS via Intune

Hi all, I've been asked to manage our small fleet of macOS laptops through Intune. One piece that I'm struggling with is installing the VPN client. The online installer fails as the DMG file does not contain the actual installer. I did find a script by Fortinet that downloads the latest version of the DMG from an org's EMS server however my company does not use EMS. How else can I get the VPN client to install through Intune?

Hi @ecortes89,

On the script that you have found, EMS server is specified as the download location for Forticlient dmg file. Can you host the Forticlient dmg file on some other server (accessible from Mac devices) and modify the script with new location and test? I have not tested this, but may be we can give a try.

I would love to try this but I don't have the DMG file to host :) Unless the script is also calling for the Online Installer available publicly on the Fortinet website?
