Unable to verify MDM profile for setting automatic macOS updates has applied properly by checking in System Preferences: App Store Summary: I am unable to verify that an MDM profile for setting the `AutoUpdateRestartRequired` value in `com.apple.commerce` has been set correctly by looking in System Preferences: App Store. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install appropriate profile - sample profile available at https://gist.github.com/rtrouton/43438ddb9e9d471e5168030ba12bc3e4 2. Open System Preferences 3. Select the App Store preference pane 4. Examine the checkbox for "Install macOS Updates" Expected Results: The checkbox for "Install macOS Updates" would be checked and possibly grayed-out. Actual Results: The checkbox for "Install macOS Updates" was not checked (see attached screenshot.) Regression: After installing the profile, I ran the following commands to see if the `AutoUpdateRestartRequired` value was set to "true" after the profile was installed: python -c "from Foundation import CFPreferencesAppValueIsForced; print CFPreferencesAppValueIsForced('AutoUpdateRestartRequired', 'com.apple.commerce')" python -c "from Foundation import CFPreferencesCopyAppValue; print CFPreferencesCopyAppValue('AutoUpdateRestartRequired', 'com.apple.commerce')" When profile was installed: Both commands returned a value of "True" (no quotes) When profile was not installed: Both commands returned a value of "None" (no quotes)
