UPDATE: Since 8.61+ User information can be submitted following the method outlined here.
For couple of years now i’ve ran various flavours of the below script via a login policy on my Mac clients.
The purpose of this script is to first check if the user is a network user, & if so then perform a lookup of their account against AD grabbing information that can then be submitted to the JSS in the relevant fields as per the above.
See below for the script:
NOTE: This script needs to be customised for YOUR environment for it to work, some fields of data may well be the same.. but it depends on dumb luck & your AD being relatively "standard."
Like it. Great stuff 🙂
I wanted to see if I can do this without calling dscl over and over.
I got most of the way there when I realized that my JSS is not updating that extra info even when called by hand like
# jamf recon –room 999
…looks like I have a call to make tomorrow morning… 🙁
But here you go. It doesn’t check for empties and the user is currently static. To use it simply go
# dscl . -read /Users/foo | this_awk_script
http://pastebin.com/ER9kYtCL
#!/usr/bin/env awk -f
BEGIN {
FS=”:”;
user=”foo”
}
/^JobTitle/{ getline; pos = $0 }
/^Phone/{phone = $2}
/^EMail/{email = $2}
/^Real/{ getline; real = $0}
/^Unique/{uid = $2}
/:company:/{ getline; co = $0}
/:department:/{dept = $2}
END {
args = ” -endUsername “user ” -realname'”real”‘ -email” email ” -position'” pos “‘ -phone ‘” phone “‘ -department” dept
system(“jamf recon” args)
}
Thanks Ryan. Will give it a whirl.
