Catalina upgrade issues

We are attempting to create a policy in self service that performs an upgrade. We use the macOSUpgrade.sh. After downloading the needed files, we get a "We were unable to prepare your computer for macOS Catalina: error (see attached). Our machines are FileVaulted. Not sure what's going on. It does not do this every time... even on the same machine.

How are you calling the .app? Dropping it in /Applications ? Have you also modified the script with that version?

Hi @rpayne,
By default, the main log (most complete) is located:

osinstallLogfile="/var/log/startosinstall.log"

You may also be able to find the reason for the error within Jamf's policy log history.

Happy to help if you can provide a little more info about what error you're getting.

@mack525 I'm dropping it in the applications folder and using a custom trigger per the macOSUpgrade.sh. I have modified the script to reflect the current 10.15.5.02 (also tried the current installer version 15.5.02)

I'm an idiot. Putting it to 10.15.5 (even the CURRENT is 10.15.5.02) works.

@rpayne it’s always 1 simple step that screws things up. Good hear it’s working
