Great info. Right now we're using MDM, but no deadline policy to our update because we can't control when they'll be installed. It's notify only right now. We have many device that could use those DDM policies but because we don't enforce update right now, many are stuck with MacOS 13 or MacOS 14 (which is not compatible with all the DDM policy). How would you handle the update process for those MacOS 15 ready device?

You can enforce updates using DDM on macOS 14 - for any devices before that then I would use a combination of MDM update policies, automatic actions (Software Updates MDM payload in the settings catalog), and compliance to push users to update to a DDM enabled version

    Last time I tried on a MacOS 14 a policy that included a MacOS 15 policy, everything was ignored. Is this fixed?
