Over a series of blog posts I’m going to be taking a look at managing Macintosh devices via the third party application Parallels Mac Management for SCCM. The Parallels product embellishes Macintosh Management within SCCM beyond what native Mac support in ConfigMgr is offering. Parallels have a simple datasheet that highlights these features in concise detail, let’s take a look at the current feature set against native. Quite an impressive list of features.
Parallels For Mac Activation Key
Jun 18, 2016 Hi, the Parallels End User License Agreement permits one copy of the software to be activated by a single license key on a single computer. If you have multiple license keys for the software, you may activate that number of copies of the software on the same corresponding number of computers as you have license keys. Ohio State has licensed Parallels Desktop, a virtualization solution for the Macintosh, for faculty and staff at a discounted price. Parallels Desktop enables Mac users to run Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista and OS X at the same time without restarting the computer.
Notice that the product works without PKI infrastructure within the ConfigMgr environment, native support requires the use of PKI and HTTPS based roles. Parallels does support PKI though if you want to use this.
The Parallels product doesn’t require the ConfigMgr client to be installed, it uses its own client for managing the devices and a set of roles are required to be installed for this management to take place. These are:
- The Configuration Manager Console Extension
- The Configuration Manager Proxy
- The NetBoot Server
- The OS X Sofware Update Point
- The MDM Server
In Part One, I will be undertaking the task of installing the Configuration Manager Console Extension
The Configuration Manager Console Extension
The Configuration Manager Console Extension extends the SCCM console enabling you to manage Mac OS X devices. To install the Parallels Configuration Manager Console Extension the pre-requisites are simple, you must install on a computer that has the admin console installed. In the tutorial below I have installed the extension on my site server.

You’ll be provided with a trial key and download links by the Parallels team. Once downloaded, run the ‘Parallels Mac Management for SCCM.exe’ installation file.
Click Next.

From the list of Parallels features choose the Console Extension and click Next.

At this stage we are ready to install the extension. Click Install.
Moments later the install will complete. Click Finish to complete the installation.
If you load up the console you’ll see that the Parallels extension features have now been added to various workspaces. Here’s an example in the Administration workspace.
Note at this stage you’ll receive a moan from the System Tray that the Parallels Mac Management for SCCM Problem Monitor has failed to locate a SCCM proxy. Well at this stage we haven’t installed the proxy so that’s to be expected.
I’ll be moving on to the installation of the proxy in Part 2 of the Parallels Mac Management for SCCM blog series.

Parallels For Mac Support
My laptop is a Mac with its own version of Office installed. I have to run a few programs in a Windows environment, so I have Parallels Desktop also installed with Windows 10. Several of these programs that need to be run in Windows have features that require Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but they are not able to open the Mac versions of Office from within Parallels.

Because Parallels runs fairly slowly, I would prefer to continue using Office within the Mac OS, but would very much like the ability to run these added features of my Windows-only programs. Any ideas? Would I be able to install and run both installs from one Office license (it’s the same computer!)? Or any way to trick Parallels/Windows 10 into thinking the Office for Mac installs are native and have it open them over in Mac land (this isn’t unprecedented, as other programs open in the Mac environment with double-clicks in Parallels/Windows)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Mac are all the default file types for their respective files in Parallels/Windows, and the problem seems to be when the Windows-only programs call to open Office that they’re having trouble communicating through Parallels.
Edit 2: Does my business account really include 5 Mac/PC installs per user? We’re the tier of Office 365 for Business without email hosting. This can’t be right. Why would that be a feature Microsoft just gives away to businesses for each user? If this is right, I can have these two separate installs on my work laptop (one in Mac OS, the other in Windows) then install Office on the beater field laptop I sometimes use and still have two installs left? Am I able to use these installs on a personal computer (or two) per the license agreement?
