Title

Ensure Software Update Deferment Is Less Than or Equal to $ODV Days

Control

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
function run() {
let timeout = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay')) || 0
if ( timeout <= $ODV ) {
return("true")
} else {
return("false")
}
}
EOS

Discussion

Software updates _MUST_ be deferred for $ODV days or less.

If you need to defer software updates, create a Restrictions profile using the com.apple.applicationaccess domain and the key enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay.

Fix

This is implemented by a Configuration Profile.
