You can now utilize many of these new app management experiences in Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center when configuring VPP apps (purchased apps and custom apps provisioned using Apple Business Manager) and line-of-business apps running on macOS 11. macOS 11 enables IT to convert installed apps to managed apps, remotely uninstall managed apps on a managed device, and automatically remove all managed apps when the device is no longer managed. MacOS 11 also introduces support for managed apps that bring many new app management capabilities similar to what is already available with iOS and iPadOS. Existing restrictions will automatically migrate to the new setting and remain unchanged. This new setting enhances the existing software update delay restriction to provide IT greater manageability of software updates. You can now defer the visibility of non-OS software updates up to 90 days on supervised devices. As currently enrolled devices update to macOS Big Sur, IT will be able to exercise the same level of control on these devices as supervised macOS devices enrolled using Automated Device Enrollment or Apple Configurator.Ī new restriction for managing non-OS software updates on macOS 11 is now available in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. All Mac enrollments in Microsoft Endpoint Manager except those enrolled using Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) are considered user-approved. Starting in macOS Big Sur, all user-approved enrollments are automatically considered supervised.
