Within Major OS releases, Apple pretty much expects you to stay up-to-date at all times. What you've heard is currently correct Apple patches their latest OS pretty quickly, and provides security updates for the previous 2 releases (so we're looking at macOS 11/10.16 = Big Sur getting current updates for security and "features" - usually mostly bug fixes - while 10.15 = Catalina and 10.14 = Mojave will only get Security Updates and not for several days after Big Sur is patched.

in fact unlike SCCM OSD you can't readily image Macs at all anymore, and even a vanilla OS install requires internet connectivity so the installer can validate itself with Apple and mid-install pull down additional required components (usually firmware for the TouchBar or T2 security chip.) This is really wonderful - you can actually pretty easily get a modern T2-equipped Mac you're rebuilding into a state where you must perform an Internet Recovery!

On Macs you can't just slipstream in the latest Security Update to your OS installer ISO.

Unfortunately at this point Microsoft does a much better job of making your life easier managing Windows systems. That creates a requirement for supporting two versions if your environment has macOS Mojave systems. With Apple's push to eliminate the use of Kernel Extensions for 3rd party products, and the introduction of System Extensions in macOS Catalina to replace them, you might have more pressure to be on N-1 as some security related vendors have released updates to their products that require System Extension support.

Apple typically provides Security Updates for N-2 and Microsoft's support for the Mac version of Office is N-2 (see Upgrade macOS to continue receiving Microsoft 365 and Office for Mac updates) IMO N-1 is preferred for what versions of macOS I want to see deployed in my environment, but N-2 is usually doable. Is that the best way? 12GB update every patch is kind of big lol although its not impossible to Installing macOS updates these days requires a network connection even if you have downloaded the installer, so you need to get your InfoSec team on-board.You'll want to reference the Use Apple products on enterprise networks KB article from Apple on what servers are needed. app and puts it in applications and then runs it silently. Our infosec blocks apples update servers so I usually have to off network download the latest full installer upload it as a dmg (since its too big for a package) and I have a script that takes the. Also what does everyone do on upgrading mac os. With windows I usually stay like n-1 and as long as I'm on a supported release with security patches I'm ok and just update every other release so skip 2004 upgrade to 20H2 etc. I would like to only patch one version so maybe I stick to 11 and when 11.whatever comes out when I've tested and ready I just move all of them.

I'm currently getting my neglected macs up to mac OS 11 as a baseline but I'm wondering do you always stay on the latest version? I've heard Apple supports macs 2 releases back but I'm unsure on that. I'm a long time SCCM admin and very familiar on the windows side but still a little green on macOS.

I've also tried: sudo xattr -rd /Applications/my_app.Hi I was wondering what my fellow Jamf administrators did about patching macOS as far as lifecycle. I tried different methods that were working in macOS v10.15 (Catalina) like: spctl -master-disable I think this application is from an unknown developer. You do not have permission to open the application

I installed macOS v11 (Big Sur) yesterday and since then I am not able to run some old application.
