With the release of MacOs 26.3.2 for the Macbook Neo only today - all of our other Mac devices fail to enroll through prestage enrollment when the minimum version is set to ‘Latest Based on Device Eligibility’. 

It seems the 26.3.2 update is trying to be installed on non-neo macs and it fails the process.

I’ve set the requirement in our environment to specific version - 26.3.1 and I am testing it currently. I assume this is more an Apple problem than a Jamf problem however.

 

ETA: Dropping it to a specific version fixes the issue.

    We’re seeing the same issue. Testing with a ‘Mac mini (2024) M4’ and setting it to ‘26.3.1’ works, but ‘Latest Based on Device Eligibility’ fails.

      Also seeing the same sort of thing in the Software Updates section - Latest based on Eligibility will try for 26.3.2 no matter the device model.

      TL;DR Using “Latest Based on Device Eligibility” has been a problem every time Apple has released a .x macOS build that’s unique to specific Mac models rather than being a Universal release. Until Apple and/or Jamf figure out how to fix this It’s best to stick with a specific minimum macOS version.

        Thanks - good to know. We’ve only just started using this feature, so hadn’t ran into this yet. Seems quite rare that model specific updates are available, but hopefully Apple/Jamf can fix that.
