People,

No real question, just something i have to share, (me working in a big school with 3500 pc's and only 350 mac's so the windows co workers don't mind)

Yesterday installed OSX 10.12.5 on mac's in 6 classrooms with Jamf.
The install for the new school year, was happy and proud to do so much installs in one day :)

Then yesterday evening, my phone bleeped, and a message : Apple releases 10.12.6

Hahaha, i know i can do an update with JAmf, but had to laugh a bit, so soon after i installed those class rooms and OS update.

Well today gonna arrange an update to .6

Sad part, i shutdown all the macs and since there are no students till september, i have to walk around and start them to get the .6 update.

Just wanted to share with people who understand :)

We usually give updates some time, in case they turn out to be problematic.


I'd give it a week or so just in case, but your right, you're going to have to run round and turn them all again :(

It's almost like Apple we're waiting for you!


Yes thats why i had to laugh, and wanted to share.
Just one of those days :)

concerning, giving it a week, starting tomorrow, i have 4 weeks holiday.

So i worked hard to be ready before my holiday starts, and now it feels, like its not 100%

Indeed, i always wait some time before installing the updates, well probably i better wait till after my holiday.


4 weeks holiday..... LUCKY YOU!! :-)

Thankfully moving jobs to a Uni so not much longer before I'll be joining you :-)


@A_A The 10.12.6 update is based on the Homeland security vulnerabilities list found here:

But I know what you mean, trust me I know what you mean.


Apple has an uncanny knack for releasing updates just after some of us push their previous release out. Strange how that happens isn't it? :)


Not that previous release dates are a reliable guide, but if you compare the release dates of the Sierra and El Capitan updates you'll see that they were pretty much on the same schedule (+/- a few days).


Tim publicly said that the "upgrades" would happen yearly. They started out on Oct but the last two have been Sept.

You can sort of get a feel for the "updates" in the seed and/or Dev programs.

Thank you for all the technical comments

But most off all Thank you for sharing the feeling :)

It was just one of those days :)

I updated most of the macs This afternoon to feel a bit more ready. :)
