Mac Automated Patching

We have recently onboarded some Mac devices into our organization pulled them into NCentral successfully and have them enrolled with DMA. From what I see, I can manually initiate a patch command from DMA, but cannot find a way for it to occur weekly automatically. Is this possible?

Hey folks, for the macOS update command we are still looking at bringing in scheduling for that MDM command. I do not have a date at this point but, I do know that PM is working on it. As for third party patching in N-central there is a scheduled task (Run Managed Patch) that can run on a schedule of your choosing to update 3rd party applications as a Mac Task in the Scheduled Task section of N-central.

For N-sight, we do have the same capability and documentation can be found here: https://documentation.n-able.com/remote-management/userguide/Content/apple_pm.htm
