This news was from the end of January, but amidst the chaos of activities and news, I can finally share it now: native management of macOS updates in Intune!

Prior to this functionality, managing updates for Macs enrolled in Intune was not very straightforward: scripts, third-party solutions, or user self-service management were required.

With this new set of features, it will be possible to natively manage the following types of updates from the Intune interface:

• Operating system updates
• Built-in apps (Safari, etc.)
• Firmware
• Malware Removal Tool
• XProtect
• Gatekeeper

In short, it’s a significant step forward! I have some ideas lined up for videos on this topic, and I’ll definitely create one as soon as I can!

In the meantime, if you want to dive deeper, I’ve prepared some fresh and flavorful documentation, hot off the press:

• What’s new in Microsoft Intune - 2301 (January) edition
• Use MDM to deploy software updates to Apple devices
• Manage macOS software update policies in Intune

How do you manage updates for your macOS devices enrolled in Intune? Do you like this new feature? Let’s discuss it together on my social profiles!
