After a long run, first beginning with Mac OS X Server 1.0 in 1999, Apple has announced the end of macOS Server as of April 21, 2022. The final version is macOS Server 5.12.2, which runs on macOS Monterey.
macOS Server 5.12.2 has shed many of the features once supported by macOS Server. As of 5.12.2, the following two services are supported:
Both services are not currently available outside of macOS Server, so Apple discontinuing macOS Server also means the end of the line for Apple’s Open Directory directory service and Apple’s Profile Manager MDM service.
For current customers who have purchased macOS Server, macOS Server 5.12.2 remains available in the App Store.
