Hi,

I have a script that prompt users to register their Macs to Intune. I would like to run the policy every 60 minutes. What's the best way to get this done ?

Thanks!

Are you wanting just a prompt? Or are you wanting them to open Company portal? How will you know when they have completed the registration?

 

hi @joshuaaclark, policy is assigned to smart device group. If a user clicks "Register" on prompt it opens self service app for Intune registration. I would like to prompt users every 60 minutes as deadline for managed access control (CA policy) is approaching . Once registration is complete, user won't be part of smart of group.

I would do with a script utilizing jamfHelper. Here is my deferral script.

 

#!/bin/bash ## Script allows the user to defer a number of seconds($TIMER) for a number of tries ($NUMOFTRIES) ## Script has a 60 second timer for the prompt; a ignored answer is taken as a yes and will exit with 0. ## GLOBALS TIMER=3600 #in seconds NUMOFTRIES=5 ## MESSAGE SCRIPT ICON="/PATH/TO/PIC.PNG" SIZE="200" HEAD="Intune Registration" DESC="Please click to register... " for ((i = 0 ; i < $NUMOFTRIES ; i++)); do DATE=$(date +%Y/%m/%d_%H:%M:%S) echo "- Counter is $i - $DATE" ## PROMPT DEFERRAL MESSAGE ANSWER=$(/Library/Application\\ Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper -windowType utility -title "Attention" -heading "$HEAD" -icon "$ICON" -iconSize "$SIZE" -description "$DESC" -button1 "Register." -button2 "Do it later." -timeout "60") echo "---- THE ANSWER was $ANSWER" ## If yes, exit. Else delay for TIMER seconds if [[ "$ANSWER" == "0" ]]; then echo "---- Boogalahboo! Do the next phase! Exit 0." ## CODE TO OPEN SELF SERVICE ## CODE CLOSE exit 0 else echo "---- Okay. Delaying for $TIMER seconds." sleep $TIMER fi done if [[ "$i" == $NUMOFTRIES ]]; then echo "- User deferred $i times. Exit 1." exit 1 fi

Thanks for sharing script. I appreciate that. 

You can move the variables to the JAMF script numbers to make it more flexible. Adjust the $NUMOFTRIES and $TIMER to what you need. Cool thing is that if Jamf does not get an exit code, it will rerun the policy at next check-in; ie the user reboots during a timer delay.
