According to the Apple Public Beta Page the following Macs are compatible with macOS 10.14 (Mojave):

MacBook (Early 2015 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer)
Mac mini (Late 2012 or newer)
iMac (Late 2012 or newer)
iMac Pro (2017)
Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid 2010 and mid 2012 models with recommended Metal-capable GPU, including MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 and Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580)

@rtrouton Wrote a nice page about how to create a smart group for High Sierra incompatible Macs

As we have many soon to be unsupported Macs in our infrastructure I adapted his xml-file to reflect the changed compatible models:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

For creating the smart group you will need to use the api as in the original blog post described:

curl -skfu username:password https://jamfpro.server.here:8443/JSSResource/computergroups/id/0 -T /path/to/filename.xml -X POST

I hope that this is useful for some of you guys :)

HI @MLBZ521 ,

Thanks so much! I can’t tell you how helpful this EA has been for us. I get asked at least once a year how many Macs we have in our organization that are not running a current version of macOS and what version the machine will support. This EA has been a life saver for me. I really appreciate it!

@MLBZ521 jamf_ea_LatestOSSupported.sh is reporting support for Big Sur wrong. I have a iMac (iMac20,1) and your script is reporting Catalina as supported OS but it should be Big Sur.

@tcandela Same links as posted earlier in this thread. I plan to update it again once Big Sur is released with official specs -- likely on Thursday. It currently looks like 35GB free space is required based on the Betas I've installed so far, not including the .app installer itself. This is a significant increase over previous versions.
