Extension attribute Script

I am trying to setup an extension attribute to verify if MS defender is enabled on devices in our environment. When I save the EA I only get a response from 1 device but I need responses from all of my devices. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

#!/bin/sh

echo "<result>`mdatp health | grep real_time_protection_enabled| awk '{print $3}'`</result>"

@nhenderson You should use the full path to the mdatp binary, and don't assume it's installed so you can report an error it if isn't. Something like this:

#!/bin/sh



mdatpPath="/Path/To/mdatp"

result="Not Installed"



if [ -e "$mdatpPath" ]; then

    result=$("$mdatpPath" health | grep real_time_protection_enabled | awk '{print $3}')

fi



echo "<result>$result</result>"

(You were also missing a space preceding the pipe between your grep and awk statements)

I appreciate the quick response! I have made the changes and I will see if that works.

Keep in mind that devices will only show updated information for a new Extension Attribute once they submit new inventory back to your Jamf Pro console. Just wanted to mention that because a lot of people get confused at first on this. It's not going to update on all Macs immediately after it's created.

I can't believe nobody has created a FR to trigger a recon policy on all Macs when an EA is created/updated. :-)
