MacOS Catalina Coming Soon

The following applies to all Managed IT Services partners

Apple released its new MacOS software, Catalina. Catalina is currently being reviewed by our team to ensure it meets security and compatibility requirements. At the moment, we recommend you do not download it on your device.

There are a few issues with applications that need to be sorted out before we release it. Some of the main concerns include that 32-bit applications are no longer supported, security tools such as Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec DLP are not certified and the Mediasite Desktop Recorder is not compatible.

The OCIO Customer Solutions desktop support team will provide a follow-up message as soon as it is approved for our environment.

If you need to upgrade now and require an exception, please contact the IT Service Desk via Self Service, by phone at 614-688-HELP (4357) and select option 3 or by email at servicedesk@osu.edu.
