Episode 381: Enforcing minimum OS with Bushrat Chowdhury

Software Updates is a subject that is dear to the heart of all Mac Admins. Traditionally this was a task that we could only perform after devices were enrolled. Beginning with macOS 14, Automated Device Enrollment began to support the requirement of a Minimum OS Version, which allows us to mandate that the device is updated before we allow it to enroll into our device management system. This week, we’ll talk with Bushrat Chowdhury of Jamf about the adaptation of this feature into the product.

• Tom Bridge, Director of Product Management, Devices, JumpCloud – @tbridge@theinternet.social
