# macOS Imaging with IVS - EOL

## What

**macOS Imaging:** Apple changes such as APFS, T2 chips, and Apple silicon moved macOS setup away from traditional imaging. With Compatibility mode deprecated, FileWave no longer keeps macOS imaging options in IVS.

## When/Why

Apple has discouraged macOS imaging for years. This EOL change should not affect current workflows because modern macOS deployment uses enrollment and management workflows instead of imaging.

## How

FileWave 15.4.0 removed macOS imaging from the [IVS](https://kb.filewave.com/books/network-imaging-ivs "Network Imaging / IVS") solution. Removing it also removed the NetBoot configuration warning tied to that retired workflow.
