Blocking Mavericks Upgrade Push Notification

[mostlikelee]

Assuming everyone received this on your client computers today. Anyone figure out how to do this without blocking APN traffic all together?

You can't block the update notification, but you can block the installer itself. Just create a Restricted Software with "Install OS X Mavericks*" as process name. The asterisk at the end makes sure that every installer, even renamed, are blocked.

Thanks @entholzner, we do already have the installer process restricted. Enterprise support suggests that we turn off Automatic updates for the Mac App store or restrict the App Store access to software updates only. Not ideal...
