policy
[INFO] policy block_macos_big_sur_install_darwin install succeeded<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Considerations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Applying the policy installs a monitoring process that checks for the start of the Big Sur or Monterey installation, and if detected, immediately stops it. The policy will not prevent the download of the Big Sur or Monterey package. However, after the download has completed, the installation process receives a kill signal and does not complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In System Preferences, the existence of the Block Big Sur or Monterey policy will work for local user (unmanaged) profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This policy restricts the macOS Big Sur or Monterey installer from running. When end users attempt to launch the installer, it is terminated. End users will not receive a block message; the upgrade will simply fail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This table provides an overview of the policy and the instances in which it will prevent an upgrade:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
