Platform Support#

pymdm supports macOS (Jamf Pro) and Windows (Intune) managed endpoints.

Feature Matrix#

Feature	macOS (Jamf)	Windows (Intune)
JamfParamParser	Yes	–
IntuneParamParser	–	Yes
GenericParamParser	Yes	Yes
Dialog (swiftDialog)	Yes	Graceful no-op
CommandRunner	Yes	Yes
TextTools	Yes	Yes
SystemInfo	Yes	Yes
MdmLogger	Yes	Yes
WebhookSender	Yes	Yes
DarwinDefaults	Yes	–
DarwinServiceManager	Yes	–
Win32Registry	–	Yes
Win32ServiceManager	–	Yes

Environment Variables#

Variable	Purpose	Values
`PYMDM_PLATFORM`	Override platform auto-detection	`darwin`, `win32`
`PYMDM_MDM_PROVIDER`	Override MDM provider auto-detection	`jamf`, `intune`, `generic`

Auto-Detection#

pymdm auto-detects the current platform and MDM provider at import time. Override with environment variables when testing cross-platform scripts locally:

from pymdm.platforms import get_platform
from pymdm.mdm import get_provider

platform = get_platform()    # DarwinPlatformInfo or Win32PlatformInfo
provider = get_provider()    # JamfParamParser, IntuneParamParser, or GenericParamParser

Task Mapping: Jamf vs Intune#

Jamf Pro	Intune Equivalent	pymdm API
`$4` positional param	`PARAM_NAME` env var	`get_provider().get(4)` / `get_provider().get("PARAM_NAME")`
`$5` boolean param	`FLAG` env var	`get_provider().get_bool(5)` / `get_provider().get_bool("FLAG")`
Script params via `sys.argv[4-11]`	Env vars or `sys.argv`	Provider-specific
`jamf recon`	Microsoft Graph API	Not in pymdm (use provider SDK)
swiftDialog	Windows toast/WPF	`Dialog` (macOS only)
