macOS Sonoma is set to release on September 26th, 2023
(https://www.apple.com/macos/sonoma-preview/)
The EPM team will be deploying a Deferral payload to all machines to stop macOS from prompting end users to upgrade their machines for 90 days.
- This payload will not stop end users from preforming macOS software updates via the System Settings menu. The payload will only stop the built in macOS prompt from informing users of a new upgrade being available.
- For sites that want to ensure end users do not upgrade macOS they can create stronger restrictions to block its installation.
At this time we do not believe there is any issues in supporting macOS 14 in the UT environment. However we encourage any units that have more unique needs to vet their software suite to ensure full support before advising their users base to upgrade.

This page is for reference only. It will be updated to future releases of macOS as they are announced. Below is the information related to macOS Ventura upon its launch. The steps provided for allowing the upgrade will continue to be the same steps during future major macOS releases.
At this time macOS Ventura is fully supported.
At this time macOS Ventura has not been guaranteed to work with all UT systems. In support of IT Support Orgs that need to control end users upgrade schedule, the upgrade has been blocked globally until Jamf Site admins have verified it will is supported and works with core UT applications.
For admins, or any other parties that would like to upgrade to macOS Ventura for testing, or any other reason we have enabled an Extension Attribute in Jamf Pro to allow a machine to upgrade to macOS Ventura now.
Within Jamf Pro navigate to the machine you would like to upgrade on. Within the "Operating System" tab on the left you will see the new Extension Attribute for "Allow macOS Ventura upgrade"
-By default this value is blank. Editing the inventory record and changing this status to "Allow" will exclude this machine from the restriction.
Once the machine has been set to "allow" you can upgrade the machine using any method to macOS Ventura
