Apple has continually enhanced their enterprise update paths over the last several years. The most recent change came with iOS 14.5 which allowed MDM administrators to send a custom command to that allows organizations to decide whether to stay on an older iOS Major version (iOS 14.x) or allow devices to access a newer major version (iOS 15). This custom command has many challenges to its adoption, and it the release of iOS 15 on 09/20/2021 was really the first time this could be tested in a production deployment.
Although recommendationCadence is a fascinating subject, the purpose of this quick post is the PowerShell one-liner I identified to pull information to know when the update was made available to enterprises. Any simple up/down monitor for a webpage could also track this information, I just happened to have a PS terminal open when I wanted to check this.

This command will produce a very simple list of what versions are available.

The server gdmf.apple.com is the resource provided by Apple to dictated what iOS versions are available. Since this site only provides a JSON-formatted list, it’s very easy to use the invoke-RestMethod to grab relevant data.
I am floored that I will be presenting an on-demand session at VMworld 2021. This is an incredible honor and I am very encouraged that I having something to offer the wider mobility world.
Managing Device-as-a-Service requires approaching the WS1 console OG design with an eye towards maximizing automation and leveraging the API as much as possible. This presentation will explore lessons-learned when designing Workspace ONE from a notable Device-as-a-Service deployment. Successfully deploying 600,000 iOS devices and 100,000 Windows laptops using Modern Management approaches was enabled through up-front time working with VMware PSO, the customer, and maximizing available automations. An introduction to Device-as-a-Service will be provide by Jack Nichols, the Chief Technology Officer of CDWG.
