How to disable Automatic Software Updates for Mac devices
Good day,
I wanted to deploy a configuration template to "Disable Mac Software Auto Update". Upon creating he template, I noticed a red exclamation mark over the configuration with the following text in the upper right corner "Deprecated Configurations"
Is there another way to achieve this?
I found the following two scripts; I am just not sure if this is the best way forward to proceed.
Disable automatic download of OS updates
- #!/bin/bash
- defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload -boolean false
Disable automatic check for OS updates
- #!/bin/bash
- defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticCheckEnabled -boolean false
Please advise.
Thanks
Marlin
