Mac Apps - Remove Old Versions?

Just use a script, you don't have to get fancy. You can just use sudo rm -rf /Applications/{app name}. I don't recommend doing this with most apps, but for iWork it's fine. Once you have the script shove it in to Jamf and deploy it in a policy, or you could make it a string and deploy it as a command in a policy. 

While I’ve not dealt with exactly what you’re working on (current environment is only iPhones which is a real bummer), I have had to hunt vulnerabilities with a really aggressive timeline and the most efficient way I’ve found to do it is with a policy → Files & Processes payload.

1. Create a smart group for scoping that have what you need to remove
2. Create a new policy → provide a name, set frequency and trigger
   1. I named mine Remove ‘/path/to/file/or/app/.app
   2. I set the frequenty usually at check-in
3. Scroll down to files & process payload and click configure. 
   1. in the Execute Command text box, /bin/rm -rf /Applications/Pages.app
4. Change scope to one or two test Macs that have on them what you need removed
5. wait for the policy to run, if it runs and succeeds, adjust scope to the smart group you created in step 1. 

I’ve also done it with a script using the script paload with the $4 as the path for the item to delete. If you want to get fancier for logging and such, it might be helpful. 

Thank you for posting this, we hadn’t even noticed! embara😳
