Over at Krypted, Charles Edge has been maintaining a page that tracks the ebb and flow of services in Server over time. That list is in line with Apple’s statement that “macOS Server is changing to focus more on management of computers, devices, and storage on your network.”
#APPLE OS X SERVER FILE SHARING UPDATE#
If I’m diffing correctly, the services that will remain in macOS Server include these three (Apple didn’t call out Software Update for elimination, but it’s already hidden, so it seems destined for the chopping block as well): If you’re not already in one of these groups, I recommend the MacEnterprise mailing list and the MacAdmins Slack team. The writing is on the wall - it’s time to start researching alternatives.įor each, Apple’s support note links to alternatives, although I’m sure the Mac admin community will have additional suggestions and thoughts. In a future release of macOS Server, Apple will go further and remove the deprecated services entirely. If you’ve already configured one of the deprecated services, you’ll be able to keep using it in that update. In an update to macOS Server due in “spring 2018,” Apple will deprecate ten services by hiding them on new installations.
