JumpCloud's macOS OS Patch Management just got better! With the addition of a single checkbox, administrators can now put macOS OS Patch Management on autopilot and rely solely on the power of JumpCloud deployed MDM commands to automate and enforce macOS major and minor updates.
This keystone setting completes the mission for the macOS OS Patch management policy and unlocks new ability for admins and IT organizations.
So, what exactly can JumpCloud's macOS Patch Management do? Here are some of its key features:
- Allow admins to define granular enforcement parameters for updates
- Enforce major OS upgrades and minor OS updates
- Automatically and silently keep devices up to date even if users ignore or try to delay updates (NEW)
- Provide custom notifications to users
- Provide a native OS update notification experience to users (NEW)
- Make updates available for self-service for end-users
- Remove end-users' ability to self-service major and minor updates and rely solely on JumpCloud policy-enforced MDM commands for updates* (NEW)
