Description

Jamf Now is able to send OS updates to Auto-Enrolled devices only. If a device was open enrolled the OS update must be done manually on the device by the end user.

Updating Devices using Jamf Now

Auto-Enrolled Device

Open Enrolled Device

The Update option will show for Auto-Enrolled devices not on the most recent OS version.

If the device is not Auto-Enrolled, the Operating System will only report the current OS version.

Updating Considerations

  • Devices should be fully charged or connected to a power source and be unlocked in order for the update to download and install automatically.

  • Devices in Single App Mode must have Single App Mode removed.
