MacOS set preferences - manual deployment without MDM

Hello, 

 

we are testing Microsoft Defender on macOS devices.

It is working and reporting in the Defender portal. 

 

I see in documentation that there are examples of creating config profile in Jamf and Intune:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/mac-preferences?view=o365-worldwide 

Is it possible to create a simple config profile manually (without using any MDM system) for testing purposes? 

Something like we can do on Linux OS:  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/linux-preferences?view=o365-worldwide - using config file /etc/opt/microsoft/mdatp/managed/mdatp_managed.json

 

Thanks!
