maxrebo Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Just wondering how people manage IOS upgrade deployment on their mobile devices? (Specifically Ipads) Currently were using Lightspeed MDM but there`s no way to stop IOS updates downloading to the device, and then pupils installing this. (There`s an option in Lightspeed to Download\Install IOS updates but not to stop them being downloaded to the device).

maxrebo Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 Is there a way to manage ipad updates in OS X? Similar to WSUS for Windows
Norphy Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 There's the caching server available in OS X which caches software updates on your local network but there isn't much in the way of options to actually manage updates. 1

tmoon-mint Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) IPSW.ME will tell you the latest signed version for your device and let you download the IPSW files as well. I use Mosyle Manager for MDM and that tells me if an iOS update is available and with the premium version you can schedule the updates too. As stated above iOS 11.3 added the ability to defer iOS updates. Edited September 25, 2018 by tmoon-mint 1
Brimstone Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Is there a way to manage ipad updates in OS X? Similar to WSUS for Windows No there isn't way to do this with macOS, Jamf have a really great PDF guide when it comes to upgrading to iOS12 and macOS Mojave. https://resources.jamf.com/documents/books/apple-os-upgrades-guide-for-beginners.pdf
