Software Update: Where We're Going, Where We've Been

Software Update is possibly the least understood topic for Mac Admins, and it's undergone a substantial amount of chnage in the last three OS releases. This talk is about understanding what Software Update is - and what it's not - from an MDM's perspective, from a user's perspective, and from an engineer's perspective. Apple has designed an incredible tool to update their highly secure operating system, but it has its quirks and knowing them will make you a better admin. We’ll cover strategies for making good choices around software update.
