I was wondering if it was possible to delay software updates by 14 days via config profile rather than the 1,7,30,45,60,90 option that's currently selectable from Jamf's config profile maker?
Question
delay software updates by something other than preset amounts?

+20@jwojda As far as i know you can set any amount between 1-90 with an custom plist?
For instance
Domain:com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
<key>ManagedDeferredInstallDelay</key>
<integer>66</integer>
+18@jwojda I would encourage you to check out the following: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/35469/apple-plans-on-removing-enterprise-options-for-macos-software-update
As you're finding, the current delay mechanism is insufficient and is definitely not adequate for what admins need. And Apple plans on leaving us with just that as a mechanism for managing updates.
+5Have you guys tried jamfhelper delay.
However I m not sure to what extend it can be delayed.
/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper -windowType utility -description "Please restart now. -button2 "Restart" -showDelayOptions "0, 60, 180, 300" -button1 "Cancel" -cancelButton 1
+7As for our needs, I would prefer Apple let us set an iPadOS or MacOS version for school environments.
