MDE apparently blocks MacOS Monterey 12.1 / 12.2 upgrades?
The last days we have encountered a situation where the upgrade to MacOS Monterey 12.1 or 12.2 fails. After several reboots the machine returns to the state before the upgrade started, with the ad...
They rolled out another update: 101.56.62 but it only says "Bug Fixes". Maybe it fixes this issue. Can you test it ?
Hey, thanks - yes, 101.56.62 does seem to make a big difference - some time before I saw your post here, a colleague just tried out this version after finding it on the preview channel - and tried re-creating the problem by downgrading machines to a previous OS version, then perform the upgrade to 12.2. With this version of MDE installed, the OS upgrade goes through without issues. Have you tried it yet?
- I'll be testing a 12.2 to 12.2.1 upgrade myself tonight and a colleague will test the 12.1 to 12.2.1 or 12.2 upgrade also. I'll let you know our results once completed.
- My upgrade to from 12.2 to 12.2.1 worked. I'll let you know about my colleague (from 12.1) probably on Monday.
- This apparently seems to be a "hit and miss" kind of issue. Sometimes, it works, sometimes it doesn't, at least with 101.56.62. My colleague upgraded from 12.1 to 12.2.1 and he was successful on first attempt. But I had multiple issues with 101.56.36. Either 101.56.62 improved the chance of success or maybe we were just lucky.
