2:47 pm ISU Mac SUS upgrade Completed
The ISU Mac SUS server will be upgraded to Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 and configured to host Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) software updates.

Currently, the ISU Mac SUS server only hosts software up to Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Apple has released a knowledge based article that shows how to configure a Mac OS X 10.6 Server to also host Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) software updates. Do do this, it is required that the SUS server run Mac OS X Server 10.6.8.

On Thursday, May 10, between 2pm to 4pm, the ISU Mac SUS server will be upgraded to Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 and configured to host Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) software updates. The ISU Mac SUS server will be unavailable during this period.

It is not expected that the full 2 hours will be needed.
