Approved Kernel Extension disables inbuilt camera

[marcus_kan]

Hey,

I deployed a Config Profile with an Approved Kernel Extension payload and the camera on all affected MacBooks within the scope have been disabled. I've removed the payload and pushed it back out which did not fix. I've also tried un-scoping to remove the profile from the client and still no fix.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
M

Hi @marcus.kan

Does your same profile also have a Security and Privacy payload?

Hey Darren,

That's the one. Strange, as that was in a separate config profile and only became an issue after I uploading the kernel payload in a separate profile.

Thanks for your help mate!
