What is your question? 

@dgeiler The 1st thread you linked in your post, and specifically the https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/mac-os-monterey-update-via-self-service/m-p/254260/highlight/true#M236085 post in that thread, provides an answer for how to easily deploy macOS Monterey. Was there something you wanted to ask about using the erase-install script it mentions?

This is what I was thinking about it.  I don't have it all set yet, but I will use a script to create a new admin user account.

Deploy the installer. I use this to get the installer.

Once the installer is present, I will put it in Self Service, and make it available in Nudge to start the install.

Then I will use something simple like this:

echo 'temppasswordfromtempadminaccount' | '/Applications/Install macOS Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall' --agreetolicense --forcequitapps --user tempadmin --stdinpass

Then I will script removal of the install account.

Simplest way with a bit of user interaction...Self Service Policy and run this

It opens Apple App Store at the Monterey Download, user clicks it, it downloads and once done will open the installer.

Thank you all for your advice

This assumes your users are running as admin right?

Hello everyone, I am using the Self Service Tool to add the Install macOS monterey.app. However How do I notify the users about the installation and schedule the installation with admin rights via JamF. My users are all on Standard rights. Please advise.

Upgrade to macOS Big Sur using Self Service with Jamf

Follow this link and substitute Montery

Hoping to setup upgrade in place to Monterey (from Catalina) in Self Service

I am following the document here

My users do not have admin rights

I am unable to upload the file "Install MacOS Monterey.app.pkg" using the WebApp (not jamf admin) after creating it using the linked document and MegaPKGr.sh

@talkingmoose  (Hi Bill!)

I have created the file twice, once v. 12.2 and then again when 12.2.1 came out. no help.
We're running JamfPro 10.35.0-t1640197529 jamfcloud
I initially tried using a local DP as master, and now have switched to my JDC as master and get same failure, gets to 99% never finishes

I scrapped my plan and switched over to using this https://github.com/grahampugh/erase-install

Works great!!

Good stuff. I'm considering the same. Does it work well for an upgrade, say from Big Sur to Monterey after enrollment?

Actually the App store installer is not working with M1 machines. 

Use :

https://github.com/grahampugh/erase-install

Works well with silicon and intel. 

What is especially great about this is that when the update version changes, it can pull the current version, or a specific version you want to target. We are mostly going Catalina > Monterey, and some student carts from Mohave.

no reason to think it would be different from Big Sur.

Just to be clear, you can have erase-install pull the latest macOS installer, or you can have it pull a specific version (at least for recent macOS versions). This is important for organizations that may need to control what version of macOS is being deployed in their environment.

thanks for clarifying that, and I edited mine to prevent confusion!
