Running this extension attribute I am finding that it reports as "Not Present" on systems with multiple drives, and possibly OSX Lion server. Is anyone seeing the same thing?

I've seen this as well. I edited my extension attribute like so:
#!/bin/sh
recoveryHDPresent=/usr/sbin/diskutil list | grep "Recovery HD"
if [ "$recoveryHDPresent" != "" ]; then
echo "<result>Present</result>"
else
echo "<result>Not Present</result>"
fi

+15Yup - I probably should have noticed that disk0 business too! :)
This works, thanks for your help!
+12For anyone who comes across this later, I found that the following worked on 10.11.4
#!/bin/sh
recoveryHDPresent='/usr/sbin/diskutil list | grep "Recovery HD"'
if [ "$recoveryHDPresent" != "" ]; then echo "<result>Present</result>"
else echo "<result>Not Present</result>"
fi
+24@dhanes You might want to edit your script to change the single quotes into backticks, or preferable command parenthesis. I.e, either
recoveryHDPresent=`/usr/sbin/diskutil list | grep "Recovery HD"`or
recoveryHDPresent=$(/usr/sbin/diskutil list | grep "Recovery HD")The way its posted right now, its not actually running a command. Its just a single quoted string.
