If I call
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
from a root terminal, Rosetta gets activated and the Microsoft Intune Agent can then be executed. I already made a script out of this, but it doesn't get deployed as the MDM Agent under Mac Silicon is not working.
Is there any possibility to run this command from Intune without a working MDM Agent? It looks like the typical chicken-and-egg problem to me.
Without Agent no Script can be run, without Script Rosetta can't be enabled remotely, without Rosetta the Agent won't run.
Imho the most reasonable solution should be a new release of the agent as a universal binary compatible with both worlds (Intel & Arm). And best of all the whole thing also for the Company portal. Would make life easier and deliver on the promise of real Silicon support.
