If you have a Mac with Apple silicon, you'll be asked to install Rosetta the first time you open an app built for an Intel-based Mac. Click Install, then enter your user name and password to allow the installation process to proceed.
Now this is all good if the user has admin rights, but what if they don't. Well WS1 has a workaround. We do need to create an assignment group targetting the M1 chipset and then run the required command. Steps below.
Click GROUPS & SETTINGS > Groups > Assignment Groups
After giving your Smart Group a name,
expand Platform and Operating System and Select Apple macOS
expand CPU Architecture and select Apple Silicon (ARM64)
then Click NEXT
Now that your Smart Group has been created we need to assign a payload which will run a specific command.
Click DEVICES > Profiles & Resources > Profiles and then
Click ADD > Add Profile
Click and Choose macOS and Device Profile
Name the profile
Set the Assignment Type to Auto
Add the Smart Groups we created earlier
Click Custom Attributes and fill set the following
Attribute Name:
Rosetta_Enable
Script/Command:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
Click SAVE AND PUBLISH
Hello, Isn't it problematic that the command is executed on the "Mac M1" every 8 hours?
