Defender for Endpoint issues on Apple Silicon Macs (Issue: Action Needed)
Hi y'all, We are using Defender for Endpoint on our Intel Macs without a hitch (both corp & BYOD devices). Now we are trying to have BYOD Apple Silicon Macs deployed with Defender for Endpoint. ...

Seems like the fix got released today, expect updates to roll out...
"Fixed a regression introduced in version 101.61.69 where the status menu icon was sometimes showing an error icon, even though no action was required from the end user"
The new update of MacOS, version 12.3.1 seams to bring back the check mark. Strange.....
- Not in our organization. And we're running 12.3.1.
The only time the checkmark is there is when Defender gets installed initially for us. As soon as you reboot or get an update of it, it becomes an X.- Btw all: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/mac-whatsnew?view=o365-worldwide

You have to grant full access to sshd-keygen-wrapper, Microsoft Defender ATP & Microsoft Security Defender extensions.
Finally you have to run this Sudo bash -x MicrosoftDefenderATPOnboardingMacOs.sh.
I am confident your issue will be solved.

LeoJohn Not on our side. All affected MacBooks which were updated to 12.3.1 are affected like before. My MacBook was reseted to factory at friday and are installed clean with 12.3.1 and on my MacBook it looks fine.
But we cant reset all affected MacBooks, so we need to wait for MS- You are right, jumped too soon at our conclusion: Check mark disappeared after a little while. My bad.
