Hi All,
We published some new support articles this week I want to call your attention
to.
Here’s the links and some snippets.
Prepare your institution for iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, or macOS Server 5.4
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207828
> macOS High Sierra supports binding to Active Directory domains running with a
> domain functional level of 2008 or later. Windows Server 2003 isn’t supported.
Upgrade macOS on a Mac at your institution
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208020
> You must be connected to the Internet when you upgrade your macOS.
> Apple doesn't recommend or support monolithic system imaging when upgrading
> or updating macOS.
Prepare for APFS in macOS High Sierra
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208018
> When you upgrade to macOS High Sierra, systems with all flash storage
> configurations are converted automatically. Systems with hard disk drives
> (HDD) and Fusion drives won't be converted to APFS. You can't opt-out of the
> transition to APFS.
Prepare for changes to kernel extensions in macOS High Sierra
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208019
> To improve security on the Mac, kernel extensions installed with or after the
> installation of macOS High Sierra require additional authorization. This is
> known as Secure Kernel Extension Loading (SKEL).
Prepare for changes to Content Caching in macOS High Sierra
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208025
> macOS High Sierra introduces Parents, which allows you to select a Mac that
> will serve all of its cached content to your Mac. Parents can also be
> children hosting caching services, making tiered caching configuration
> possible.
Lots here, and more info soon. Let me know what questions you have.
Thanks,
-Mike
