Updated to 13.3.1 (a). Wanted to monitor via Smart Group but it doesn't look the fields populated after inventory check ins.

How are you monitoring?

The fields do populate for iOS.

What version of the Jamf server are you running?  I think they just added the collection of those for macOS via declarative management in version 10.46.0.

Yep, so when you are on 10.46 those should get populated.

Hijacking this thread to ask, how are you guys deploying this? Will it work with the existing mass action commands or software updates policy for intel devices?

Curious too. Was reading this: https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/manage-rapid-security-responses-dep93ff7ea78/web

We Turn on “Install Security Responses & System Files” with a config profile. So I guess if users are on 13.3.1 and we send another Mass action command, this will scoop up the 13.3.1 (a) update?

 

Will test but please share your experience @Noonan

@mvu For anyone not yet updated to 10.46 here is the EA I use to query the BuildVersion on the Mac (10.45 doesn't seem to properly report the build version after the RSR):

 

#!/bin/sh # EA - Get macOS Build Numeric Portion # # Returns the numeric part of a macOS Build # e.g. For Build 19H1030 returns 1030 result="" rawBuildVersion=$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -buildVersion) if [ -n "$rawBuildVersion" ]; then # Return the value of rawBuildVersion starting at position 3 result=$(/bin/echo "${rawBuildVersion:3}") fi echo "<result>$result</result>" exit 0

Ignore the reference to the "numeric portion" since it's no longer correct with Apple adding alpha characters to distinguish RSR updates.

I enabled the rapid security response for devices yesterday, but was not able to get Jamf to send a command to update the iPad.  I was able to got into settings and install it.  Normally I could send a remote command to start the update, but it did not work for the RSR for me.

Apple had issues rolling this out yesterday. Seemed to start working at night and today. 

Did you try sending a MDM command today?

No I have to roll it back and try again. Working on that now.

We had the config profile setting enabled for some time now. I sent out a mass action to a subset of devices, monitoring that right now, will keep you posted!

Does look like this one requires a restart? "Action: restart,"

Yes, applying this RSR does require restarting the device, but the time is minimal.

I got rolled back. I send the upgrade command from Jamf, and nothing happened on the iPad.  A normal software update would prompt me for my password to install.  This did nothing.

Can you try the Specific version 16.4.1 and see if the result is different?

I am getting this error: Connection to Apple Services is not available. Try again later.

So I sent a mass action command for 13.3.1 with a deferral of 1 day and it behaved like a regular macOS update:

- Gave the normal prompt to install, try tonight, try later. 
- Prompted for a password (Apple Silicon)
- Restarted the device (same speed as a normal restart)

Also noticed in jamf under the Operating System menu it stated it was downloading the RSR "Update in progress: MSU_UPDATE_22E772610a_patch_13.3.1_rsr" 

I've got a separate Software Updates policy in jamf running for something else and it is installing the updates as well on our Intel devices.

@mhasman Use the EA I posted in this thread - it looks like Jamf Pro 10.45 isn't always reportin the new build version properly

@Karl941 It should with JSS 10.46, but for those of us still running JSS 10.45 the EA seems to be necessary

I did through latest and worked well. However, that'd be great if Jamf would include the (X) build to target it. Is it something possible under 10.46?
