Hello,
I would like to get all of our Macs up to date and create a plan to maintain this. I would like to use the ScheduleOSUpdate command with the InstallLater command as described in Use MDM to deploy software updates to Apple devices - Apple Support
My questions are:
One more question on a similar topic. I created a Configuration Profile (in Jamf) for software updates. Does the Software Update Server need to be filled in if we expect the clients to download the software from Apple?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Eddie

Your last question. Software Update Servers are depreciated as of 4 years ago or so. The best you can to is configure content caching which is where Macs will cache the OS updates for other Macs, this is literally just a check box and you have no control beyond that. All OS updates must come directly from Apple, you cannot house them on an internal OS update server anymore.
some literature if you are interested.

Actually for #3.. Beginning in Jamf 10.44.0, you can now report on MDM commands. Jamf added that feature for iOS and macOS... See release notes below.

Hello,
Do you have any examples of your script you run for "

@AJPinto , also curious if you'd be willing to share your script that you mentioned in your reply.

Would it be possible to obtain a copy of this script and to see more of this workflow? I think this is a great idea. I'm very interested in the 1st (would love to create this or utilize this) and 3rd and 4th bullet points.

Not an exact status summary of the mass action command, but I roughly track the progress by creating a smart group with the criteria being below my desired IOS version. I pin that smart group to the Jamf dashboard and can see at a glance the progress as the membership number declines.
