![]() ![]() Phase two will take about half an hour to complete. Please restart your computer to begin the next phase. The first phase of your upgrade to Mac OS X El Capitan is complete. You can continue to use the computer and will be notified when the first phase is complete. Your computer has been scheduled to be upgraded to OS X El Capitan (10.11). ![]() This is what we have set for our environment: Leave the Default installation option selectedįor the notification options we setup both Alert user before run and Completion messages. Set the execution option based on whether or not you want to interrupt users with the installation or not. Select 10.11.3 software title from the dropdown Give your MI a name, I called mine Mac OS X El Capitan Install Under Managed Installs click Choose Action, New In the K1000 interface click Distribution In the Supported Operating Systems list select the operating systems that you will be upgrading to 10.11. Once you are satisfied that you have the correct software title select the disk image from the Upload and Associate Client Drop File menu. If you have any doubt about which software title to use then I strongly recommend that you use the installer to update one machine in your environment manually and then associate the file with the software title found in that machines software inventory after the setup is complete and the machine has checked into the K1000 again. When creating a managed install it is very important that you associate the installer with the correct title. Step 6: Associate the disk image with the software title If you have not already enabled the SAMBA share on your appliance login to the admin interface and browse to Settings, Security. The web interface won't allow you to upload files more than 2GB so you will need to mount the clientdrop share on your K1000 and copy the file there. Step 5: Copy the disk image to the K1000 appliance The disk image should be mounted when created, but if it isn't mount it and then copy the file to the volume. Step 4: Copy the install package to the newly created disk image Leave the Format, Encryption, Partitions and Image Format defaults. My install package was 6.1GB so I made the disk image 7.5GB. Give the disk image a name, I called mine MacOSX_10.11.3_15D21.dmg.įor the size you need to make the image larger than the size of the package because once the disk is formatted it will loose some space. The K1000 appliance will deploy packages stored on a disk image and I have found this method to be the most reliable for uploading packages to the appliance. Step 3: Create a disk image to hold the package The version and build number (10.11.3 and 15D21 respectively) will depend on when you download the installer from the App Store. You should end up with a file named something like InstallOSX_10.11.3_15D21.pkg. createOSXInstallPkg -source /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/ The following command will create the package in the same location as the script: ![]() The documentation for the script is well written but there isn't too much necessary for a basic package. Open a terminal window and change to the location of the script. You can leave it in the /Applications folder.ĭownload createOSXInstallPkg script from GitHub and store it somewhere on your computer. If you don't already have a copy of the Install OS X El Capitan application from the Apple AppStore login and download a copy of it. Step 1: Download the OS Installer from the AppStore I used the following procedure to deploy Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan but it should also work for other versions. I realized that the K1000 detects Mac OS X as an installed program so I wondered if I could setup a managed install to deploy it and it turns out you can. Our initial thought was that we would need to deploy the sneaker net and get to work. In our environment we normally don't upgrade operating systems in place so we have a fair number of computers with earlier versions installed. At work we will be deploying Office 2016 to campus this summer and it requires at least MacOS X version 10.10. ![]()
