Can't do OS update mass action because of Software Updates beta?

[lisanelson2]

So I wanted to push an OS update to my test Macs, which I have previously done via Inventory, pick the machines I want, Actions, Update OS version etc.

It's still there, I can still choose its radio button, but a blue box appears saying "You can now use Software Updates to manage OS updates". But the Software Updates feature appears to be a beta, and I don't particularly want to use a beta. I would like to use the existing Update OS Version mass action.

The blue box says that I can continue using the existing feature, but that it will be deprecated in a future version. But the "Next" button is greyed out, with no indication as to why.

So, despite the wording, is it already deprecated? Or should the Next button still be available, and if it should be, has anyone got any ideas about why it isn't?

Thanks,
Lisa.

You can flip off the Software Beta toggle and revert back to the old MDM Update Mass commands.

Oh for heaven's sake.

I'm sure I would never have figured that out, so thank you.
