+1Hello,
We frequently encounter situations where Zoom updates in the background, but users don’t restart the application to apply the updates. I know Zoom updates automatically in the background, but how can I force a restart or ensure that the update is fully applied without needing the user to manually restart it?
Is there a way to automate this process or ensure the app relaunches after an update? What steps should I be taking to address this?
Best Regard,
Jojes

+8Hi @venom85jojes ,
If you mean that the Zoom app updates in the background without you enforcing update policies through Jamf, you can create a script to force close the Zoom app upon login, ensuring the update is applied when the app is reopened.
pkill -f "zoom.us"
Add the script, create a policy, and set up a Smart Group for devices that are not on the latest Zoom version.
If you mean to force update and restart, then enter from @jamf-42 @Shyamsundar is the right choice for you.
+8...and even if you are not using Mac Apps to distribute the app, you can simply scope a Mac Apps definiton to a smart group defined as all computers that already have the app.
