DDM MacOS Download and schedule to install only for Jamf Cloud-hosted environments, why?

[BCPeteo]

This one of the new MacOS DDM management features we were most looking forward to. Why is Jamf locking this to the cloud?

[AJPinto]

Why? Because Jamf wanted to, at least that is what I am assuming. I suppose it's possible there is some apple limitation that only Jamf cloud can accommodate but I doubt it. Other features like Mac App Installers also are cloud only, figure they are using these functions to push people to cloud.

[McAwesome]

If memory serves, it has to do with the communication channel needs for DDM commands.

[BCPeteo]

Why cant this be done on prem? ManageEngine supports DDM and 100% works on prem. Really do not like the way Jamf is going with this.

I'm hoping this makes it to the GovCloud space sometime soon; not having that option is a real killjoy.
