Symptoms

Configuration items created from .mobileconfig files can't be deployed to Macs.

Deployment fails with Infrastructural error:

Cause

The payload of the profile requires installing it via MDM server, and the Configuration Item was created without that option.

Resolution

Please enroll the Macs in MDM, recreate the Configuration Item with enabled option Use MDM service when installing on Mac computers, and deploy it anew:

Note: Big Sur Macs enrolled in MDM do not require this option since all profiles are installed to them via MDM automatically.
