    • For these updates, Munki v5 directs users to System Preferences - Software Update

    • EPS will offer optional configurations for 7, 21, and 30 days before aggressive update notification behavior begins
    • EPS will also offer an optional configuration to completely disable aggressive update notification behavior
  • Currently there's no Apple-supported method for automated, touch-free updates
