There’s an issue with the Mac Combo Update for 10.11.3 for Action 2 that requires updating. This has been an issue with 10.11.2 and 10.11.3 Action 2s where they are failing and causing multiple reboots and baselines to be sent out in back to back months. Please see below and please fix!
10.11.2 Combo Update, ID 10110003 Action 2:
if{(string "ProductVersion" of dictionary of file "/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist") = "10.11.1"}

As much as we like talking to our customers, sometimes we prefer to just be regular IT people that hang out in dark basements doing our jobs in the background while going unnoticed and not having to answer customer questions as to why a machine has to keep rebooting and explaining to management why multiple baselines for the same patches are being sent out.
We could easily just use Action 1 and I think we’ll have to go back to it but the preference is for Action 2 since a lot of our Mac laptops are off premise at different times.
