New MacOS Monterey is Out, Not Ready for Campus Computers

submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu

Apple has released a new operating system, Monterey. Augsburg-owned Macintoshes should be prevented from doing the upgrade through our management software. This is to prevent things breaking with an upgrade like campus printing. We’ll be testing Monterey and will make it available to Augsburg-owned Macs when we know it won’t break important services like printing.

If you are using a personal Mac and are currently printing to campus printers we recommend not upgrading to Monterey until we’ve tested it out. Campus printing will likely not work after the upgrade based on past experiences.
