Sophos Central Mobile Control

Hi StephenHiggins ,

Please have a look at this article:
Sophos Mobile Control for iOS shows update notification but cannot be updated

Otherwise, can you please provide more information regarding the products and devices used, and what is the exact issue?

Thank you!

Sorry.

I think perhaps I didn't explain correctly. This is nothing to do with updating the SMC app.  This is about controlling the update to iOS. The customer would like to control the staged updates of iOS so that the clients all comply with the supported version of iOS in this case 11.4.1 without going straight to 12 that came out yesterday.

Hello StephenHiggins,

Thanks for clarifying.  This is the Sophos Central forum, so you probably want to ask mobile specific questions in the mobile section.

Having said that, please do have a look at this document:
Available compliance rules
Be sure to look at the Maximum OS version option which seems to be what you are looking for.


Additional information regarding the OS updates can be found below:

Hello.

I'm not looking for a compliance rule stating that the Maximum OS version would put the device out of compliance, I'm looking for the functionality to not just "upgrade to Latest" OS but to be able to pick a version number that will be the "Production" version,  whilst the Latest version could be deployed in a Dev environment, it's not appropriate until a few months tasting has passed.

Hello StephenHiggins,

I followed-up with our Mobile Support techs and they confirmed that we currently do not provide that option. 
Please submit a request here for additional functionality.
