Looking at Computer Extension Attributes in Jamf Summary… at the end of every bash script is says ” Windows Script …” Just trying to figure out what that is about and should I be concerned about it at all? This does not show up when you look at the Jamf Pro editor for the script. 
 

 

========================================================================================== ID 4 Name ............. Last Reboot Enabled true Type ............. String Mac Script #!/bin/bash echo "<result>$(date -jf "%s" "$(sysctl kern.boottime | awk -F'[= |,]' '{print $6}')" +"%Y-%m-%d %T")</result>" Windows Script ... ==========================================================================================

 

I am inclined to agree with @sarafoster90, this is probably an artifact of JAMF. Most JAMF Servers are likely windows based (mine is), and its probably something from that.

========================================================================================== ID 141 Name ............. JAMF Application Support Volume Enabled true Type ............. String Mac Script #!/bin/zsh ## Get logged in user UserID=$(stat -f%Su /dev/console) Inspect_Directory=$(sudo du -sh /Library/Application\\ Support/JAMF | cut -d '/' -f 1 | awk '{$1=$1};1') echo "<result>$Inspect_Directory</result>" Windows Script ... ==========================================================================================

  

Funny thing is (since originally posting this) I found one of the Custom Attributes for determining battery health was a windows script for battery health. Suspect it as left there by a contractor who was at one time setting up our environment. really strange. 

 Being new to Jamf I suspected this might be more of an internal artifact of Summary. Relieved that there is not a string of comments saying that something was off :)

Jamf supported Windows for a period of time. You could recon and do some things on a windows client.  But since Macs are their bread and butter it didn’t last long or get much traction. So probably legacy from that.
