Jamf School Block Ventura

Does anyone else have an issue with Ventura being available even when you have a restriction profile in place?

We use Automated Device Enrollment Jamf School. We see the 12 g version of Ventura available even though our Restriction Profile is set for 30 days. Our macOS is 12.5. We also tried disallowing application path /Applications/Install macOS Ventura.app but it still is an option in system preferences.

Strange. There is a current bug with macOS 12.3-12.6 where MacOS 13 will not be differed correctly, you need to install MacOS 12.6.1 before 11.24.22 to fix that. However why the random date of 11.24.22 is that apple is not offering the Ventura delta to any MDM managed devices so you should not be seeing macOS 13 with this bug yet.

 

Bugs aside (link below), make sure you also have a deferral setup for major OS updates. Once the deferral has passed users will see the update in system settings no matter what you do. Apple decided with Catalina that we don't get to pick what updates a user can see outside of the deferral window.
