Descrição

Apple provides the capability to manage software updates on Apple devices through mobile device management. Part of those capabilities permit organizations to defer software updates and allow for testing. Many organizations have specialized software and configurations that may be negatively impacted by Apple updates. If software updates are deferred, they should not be deferred for more than 30 days. This control only verifies that deferred software updates are not deferred for more than 30 days. Note: Software deferment is deprecated by Apple and will be removed in a future OS release/update.

Como é corrigido

Método de correção: Orientação ou patch de infraestrutura

Profile Method: Create or edit a configuration profile with the following information: 1. The PayloadType string is com.apple.applicationaccess 2. The key to include is enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay 3. The key must be set to <integer><1-30></integer> Note: The key enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay is for all updates through software updates. If your organization needs to delay major OS upgrades on a separate timescale than minor OS updates (or App Store updates), see the Additional Information section for a breakdown of what keys to use.
