+18DDM Software Update is working fantastic for the most part.
Majority of the fleet has updated.
I’ve created static groups to act as manual rings.
I have few stranglers that will not update. There is enough storage, user has secure token, computers are ADE enrolled. Computers are checking in.
I have the following screenshot from one endpoint.
Management, Operating System shows “No Updates in progress”.
How do I fix this?
+22Try toggling off the Software Updates? Or are you using Blueprints?
I’ve seen Jamf’s DDM “No Updates in progress” state when the Mac never actually creates/accepts the update *plan* (so Jamf has nothing to track), even though the declaration is still in scope.
A couple quick checks that usually narrow it down:
1) On an affected Mac, confirm the OS actually sees the update: `softwareupdate --list` (and verify you don’t have an update deferral profile holding it back).
2) Confirm the device is in a state where DDM updates will run: on AC power, enough free space, user session not blocking required UI, and for major upgrades make sure you have a volume owner / bootstrap token situation that allows the upgrade.
3) If it’s stuck, I’ve had luck removing the device from the DDM update scope (or toggling the feature off/on), then re-adding to force Jamf to generate a fresh plan.
