Mac Os X Vdi

(A clause explicitly permitting virtualization on a Mac host first appears in the SLA of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.) Many posts online detail these, but. Apple has announced the next version of its Mac operating system: Sierra. Of course, the real change is that, after fifteen years, Apple has finally ditched the “OS X”.

macOS Sierra, Apple’s newest Mac operating system (OS), is officially live—following closely on iOS 10 last week. And VMware End-User Computing (EUC) has your business covered.

Rob barnaby. We’re excited to announce same-day support across our EUC solutions, including VMware VMware Horizon, VMware Fusion and VMware AirWatch.

“What Can Your Mac Do Now?”

Alongside Siri’s much-anticipated debut on Mac, macOS Sierra offers exciting new enterprise features, including:

• Updates to iCloud Drive;
• New controls for admins, such as restricting apps, storage and Music Service;
• Admin accounts;
• Device Enrollment Program enhancements; and
• Much more.

macOS Sierra & iOS 10: Horizon Virtual or Hosted Desktops & Applications

Whether you’re working on an iPhone or an iPad, Horizon Client support for iOS 10 builds on a foundation that delivers a great remote experience. It boosts battery life using hardware H264 offloading with Blast Extreme, delivers faster logins with TouchID and speeds application launches through Spotlight integration. The latest iOS client also adds support for the Swiftpoint GT mouse for improved productivity when using remote apps and desktops.

On the desktop, the Horizon Client for macOS Sierra has you covered. Only the Horizon Client for Mac delivers a seamless remote app experience where individual Windows apps run like Mac apps. They show up and save in the dock, work with Expose, and can be launched by Siri. The new 4.2 release supports hardware H264 offload with VMware Blast Extreme, URL content redirection to open local Mac apps and saving passwords in keychain.

macOS Sierra: Fusion Mac Virtualization

Also for the desktop, Fusion fully supports macOS Sierra running both as a host and a guest operating system. Better yet, the latest 8.5 release is a free update for all VMware Fusion 8 customers. With the latest release, customers can take advantage of some of the new macOS features including Tab View and Siri to easily manage multiple virtual machines on their desktop, and launch a guest application with Apple’s voice assistant. And if you are a Horizon FLEX customer, you can still seamlessly run Fusion 8.5 on macOS Sierra.

macOS Sierra & iOS 10: AirWatch Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) Support

AirWatch supports macOS Sierra today. Any eligible devices can upgrade without AirWatch management interruptions. Our customers use AirWatch to deploy, configure and manage Macs with zero touch from IT to eliminate imaging, staging services and deployment teams. Easy app delivery, OS updates and system integrations keep users productive. With AirWatch, you can even deliver virtual legacy Windows apps to run on Mac. Learn more here.

On the mobile side, AirWatch announced same-day support for iOS 10 last week. All eligible devices can upgrade to iOS 10 with no AirWatch management interruptions. Read last week’s blog to dive into the new iOS 10 management features and support details.

IMPORTANT: Before upgrading to iOS 10, users must upgrade their AirWatch apps. Not doing so might result in devices falsely reporting as compromised. Click here to learn more.

License violations[edit]

According to the macOS and OS X software license agreement^[1], macOS should only be installed on Apple Mac devices. Neither the editors of this book nor Wikibooks have any liability over the installation of macOS or OS X guests on VirtualBox or any other violations of the software license.

This is against the EULA of apple, doing this article IS considered piracy.

Installation script[edit]

The following installation script:

• ..is free and open-source
• ..requires only VirtualBox with its Extension Pack and dependencies that can be easily installed in a single command with most open-source package managers
• ..downloads macOS Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra directly from Apple's servers
• ..installs macOS without modifying the original Apple binaries and without third-party bootloaders
• ..creates a VM that is compatible with OpenCore and can be exported (with manual modifications) to KVM/QEMU for near-native performance
• ..runs on Linux, Windows (WSL, Cygwin), and macOS

Manual installation[edit]

The manual installation requires access to the Mac App Store through an existing installation of macOS.
