macOS Patch management on Jamf Pro 10.1.1-t1513360285

[rodders]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has tried using this to schedule and deploy OS upgrades/updates?
We've tried setting up a combo update of 10.13.2 (from 10.13.1) through Self service and it looks to work (no real info from the UI telling us the %done or whats going on in side SS) and it reboots but doesn't actually update the OS.
The JSS log for the policy didnt say anything.
Local jamf log shows that it downloads the DMG successfully from the repo. The mac is a fresh 10.13.1 install so there should be no problems with functionality or corrupt files from usage from a user.

Anyone else tried this yet and had more success?

Below is the jamf.log from the mac.

The local jamf.log files says that it downloads the DMG from the repo but thats mac used is a fresh 10.12.6 mac so no funny OS bugs from usage.

Are you trying to install the 10.13.2 combo updater on a 10.12.6 machine? This part is unclear.

Also what area is the Mac reporting its system version? Are you checking it from the Mac itself or just going off the computer record in the JSS?

[rodders]

Sorry Luke - you're right - some confusion on version numbers - Apologies.
Ive amended the post.

That portion should have read:
Local jamf log shows that it downloads the DMG successfully from the repo. The mac is a fresh 10.13.1 install so there should be no problems with functionality or corrupt files from usage

Also - Going off the JSS inventory record AND physically looking at the laptop

[Look · Accepted solution]

The Combo update JAMF installs needs to be the PKG inside the DMG not the DMG itself. The DMG would just copy the PKG installer to the top level of the boot drive on the machine.

[rodders]

ah - @Look This would make sense - D'Oh.
Will change to the PKG! thanks

Its also worth noting that this post has some info on 10.13.2 combo/non combo abilities.
