Hello,

we want to block the MacOS Mojave update. I scope to all devices and set the Software restrictions as following:

I made 3 additional restrictions which block:

Mojave
installAssistent
osinstallersetupd (process found in activity monitor)

I can still load it from the AppStore and install if after it. What am I doing wrong?

Best regards
Maurice Fiedler

"macOS Mojave.app" is the name of the download I just got from the App Store

Correction: it downloaded without "Install", but is now named "Install macOS Mojave.app" - which follows their conventional naming.

    I always approach with both the Process name & application.

    'Restrict Exact Process Name' & restrict the process 'Install macOS Mojave' - should do the trick

      My restricted software is preventing Mojave updates.

      The Process Name is set to:

      Install macOS Mojave.app

      I have set "Restrict exact process name" enabled.

      I have not tested if the results are the same if you do not include the file extension ".app".

          Anyone finding this not working recently? I've got Jamf Pro 10.8, and it just DOESN'T work. Created 4 different restrictions based on InstallAssistant, osinstallersetupd, "Install macOS Mojave" and "Install macOS Mojave.app". I can still launch the installer on machines. =-/

          Oh, no, it works (sorta). Clearly jamf is just looking at running processes every 30 seconds or so and killing any disallowed ones it finds. =/
