Hey Jamfers,
I am looking to find out what is your method of updating Apple software.
In a previous life we had an Apple server (xServe <-- remember those?) running the Apple Software Update Server. We had it download everything from Apple and then we would manually enable items as we approved them. All the client SUS preferences were 'pointed' at our internal SUS. This kept a lot of the repetitive downloading off the companies Internet connection and on our local network.
Now, I want to develop a solution that give us control over what is deployed. Apple had ,long discontinued the xServe and if i wanted to run a mac based solution i'd have to do it in a VM.
Questions:
• Do any of you still use Apple SUS?
• There were linux versions out there that would still connect to Apple. Anyone use these?
* Is Apple still supporting the traditional SUS or are they doing everything through the App store now?
I know they jamf just announced the 90 day delay in 10.3 -- so that would give me test time but..
What are YOU doing? ;-)
