7 About Software Update

Administration

This chapter describes how to set up and administer Software

Update service as a controlled environment for updating

Apple software on your network.

Software Update service offers you ways to manage Macintosh software updates from

Apple on your network. In an uncontrolled environment, users may connect to the

Apple Software Update servers at any time and update your client computers with

software that is not approved by your IT group for use in your enterprise or school.

Using local Software Update servers your client computers access only the software

updates you allow from software lists that you control, thus giving you more flexibility

in managing computer software updates. For example you can:

Â Download software updates from the Apple Software Update servers to a local server

for sharing with local network clients and reduce the amount of bandwidth used

outside of your enterprise network.

Â Direct users, groups, and computers to specific local Software Update servers using

managed preferences.

Â Manage the software update packages users can access by enabling and disabling

individual packages at the local server.

Â Mirror updates automatically between Apple Software Update servers and your

server to ensure you have the most current updates available.

Note: You can’t use Software Update service to provide third-party software updates.
