Does anyone have an extension attribute that will return the version of Jamf Connect a Mac is running?

Our 'Patch Management' tells me we've got various out-dated versions floating around in our environment and I want to gather all of these into an Advanced Search or Policy so I can take action.

You can use "Patch Reporting" smart group criteria to do this without the need for an extra EA

    You can use this solution for an extension attribute:

    #!/bin/bash
    ##############################################################################
    # A script to collect the version of Jamf Connect Login installed. #
    # If Jamf Connect Login is not installed "Not Installed" will return back #
    ##############################################################################

    NOT_INSTALLED="Not Installed"
    RESULT=""

    if [ -a /Library/Security/SecurityAgentPlugins/JamfConnectLogin.bundle/Contents/Info.plist ]
    then
    RESULT=$( /usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Security/SecurityAgentPlugins/JamfConnectLogin.bundle/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString )
    else
    RESULT="$NOT_INSTALLED"
    fi
    /bin/echo "<result>$RESULT</result>"

    Thank you, this is awesome! Now I can have the Jamf Connect version display when producing reports! Much appreciated.
