I am not sure that disabling SIP is going to help your install, and you shouldn’t need to alter System Integrity Protection to use Boot Camp or install Windows. This post outlines the process of automatically disabling System Integrity Protection when upgrading to OS X El Capitan. We decided to temporarily turn SIP off on all of our computers until we migrate over completely to JAMF’s Casper Suite. SIP breaks our current management system and we needed to deploy “El Capitan” for our computer rollout. This is a great feature in OS X “El Capitan” that adds additional system protection, but in our environment it restricts area’s of the file system that we manage with radmind, which runs as a tripwire to catch any suspicious files and replace them. System Integrity Protection restricts file modifications to specific locations it conflicts with our our current management system. So, we found a automated method that we implemented on our 800+ computers that can be done programmatically or remotely. We aren’t recommending disabling System Integrity Protection for long-term application work arounds, but for our environment and until we migrate to a new client management system we needed to disable it and we didn’t want to touch every computer to boot into the Recovery Partition and disable SIP. Adjusting this feature is really aimed at advanced Mac users, whether IT, sysadmins, network administrators, developers, tinkerers, security operations, and other related highly technical fields. Just as before, a reboot of the Mac is required for changes to take effect.Īs previously stated, the vast majority of Mac users should leave rootless enabled and embrace System Integrity Protection, as most Mac OS X users have no business in the system level directories anyway. Simply reboot the Mac again into Recovery Mode as directed above, but at the command line use the following syntax instead: How to Re-Enable Rootless System Integrity Protection in Mac OS X If at any time you wish to change the status of rootless, another reboot into Recovery Mode is required. System Integrity Protection status: disabled System Integrity Protection status: enabled. You’ll either see one of two messages, enabled indi: If you want to know the status of rootless before rebooting or without rebooting the Mac into recovery mode, just issue the following command into the Terminal: Checking the Status of Rootless / System Integrity Protection in Mac OS X Once the Mac boots up again, System Integrity Protection will be disabled entirely in Mac OS X, thereby allowing full access to the protected folders outlined above. If you plan on doing something else in the Terminal or Mac OS Utilities screen you may want to leave off the auto-reboot command at the end, and yes, in case you were wondering, this is the same recovery mode used to reinstall Mac OS X with Internet Recovery. You can also issue the command by itself without the automatic reboot like so:īy the way, if you’re interested in disabling rootless, you may also want to disable Gatekeeper while you’re in the command line too. You’ll see a message saying that System Integrity Protection has been disabled and the Mac needs to restart for changes to take effect, and the Mac will then reboot itself automatically, just let it boot up as normal.
