Description

This issue is a spin-off from #5749.

In PR #5749, we received the following feedback from @brunerd:

The mobile_config_gen.py script isn't mentioned on this page but could be helpful for folks that don't have Jamf (or even a GUI for MDM like Jumpcloud). The script creates both old and new entries for 4 total FDA rules. You might want to get this cleaned up and mentioned in our docs. Right now, Elastic has new Defend client the Dept. of Transportation trying to get up and running and they are relying on 3rd party pages to figure out how to deploy to Macs using InTune and a platform agnostic solution like this script would be worth mentioning.

There's also more information about the script in this SDH.

We should document this script in the Deploy Elastic Endpoint instructions.
