Welcome to my first post on Substack. You may recognise some previous posts from my old self-hosted blog. In an effort to separate out my work posts, I’ve moved over here. If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you’ll know that I make use of Installomator to install the latest version of software during the zero touch setup of our lab devices. But, that’s not all it’s good for. It’s also used for keeping our applications up-to-date when a new version is released.
I'm seeing an issue (so far just testing this with Chrome) where the 'Update Available' Smart Group differs in group membership numbers from the 'Patch Policy' Smart Group. They should be 1:1. Patch Policy group has ~100 computers more than the Update Available Group. They're both setup how you did yours, but seem out of sync. I also didn't see you mention putting a recon / update inventory at the end of the patch policy. Isn't it needed so that the group memberships stay accurate? Thanks! Really liking Installomator, just trying to dial it in.

Nice Post!
How are you handling the apps which arnt in Jamf Patch Management for updates?
Thanks! that's really helpful.
May I ask, do you follow the same workflow for web-browsers? How do you get users to quit?
