I've just went through and renewed all my Push/SSL certs on the JSS Server. I think I have a good idea of all the packages necessary for that stuff. Most things seems to work, except for a few complaints about legacy software like our Wacom drivers. Not going to do anything Self Service - well be scheduling a weekend for downtime.įrom my manual testing, it seems like I can just upgrade straight to Catalina, and then apply the Combo Update up to 10.15.7, no incremental upgrading required. We'll be replacing these machines soon enough, and the deadline for our upgrade is a week from now, so I'm just going to go for it and see what sticks rather than configuring a fresh OS install. So - My current plan is to do a quick and dirty upgrade in place. I am ready to start building out the OS upgrade package, and then start working on our software (mostly Adobe Suite and a few dozen plugins. I've just finished upgrading our JSS server from 9.97 all the way to 10.25 (VERY FUN!). So, now we'll be upgrading our existing machines and then doing it all again in a few months.
We were planning to purchase the new Mac Pros before our licensing ran out, which would conveniently mean we could avoid having to rebuild all our current machines, sort of a natural upgrade path to the new OS, but that didn't pan out this year. Catalina is the target, just because it's the newest thing - unless an earlier OS version would be better? We're got about 15 Trashcan Macs in an offline environment that have been sitting on Sierra 10.12.4 for the last few years.ĭue to some incompatibility with our software licensing/operating system, it's looking like we are being forced to upgrade.
