I am fairly new in scripting and I am having trouble modifying a script that will successfully change the status tag of computers in a certain smart group.

The status tag which is in the General and you have multiple drop down option (like Active, Retired, disposable, etc) options is created in EA.

I can manually change it by going in the computer in general press edit and from the Status drop menu select what is the new status. I need to make the script do this for me.

 

 

#!/bin/bash # ——————————— Changes Site ——————————— apiURL="https://domain.jamfcloud.com" apiUser="user" apiPass="password" newStatus="Disposed" # ——————————— Getting the serial ——————————— computerserial="$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep 'Serial Number (system)' | awk '{print $NF}')" #Change the Site echo "<computer><general><status><value>$newStatus</value></status></general></computer>" | curl -X PUT -fku $apiUser:$apiPass -d @- $apiURL/JSSResource/computers/serialnumber/$computerserial/subset/general -H "Content-Type: application/xml"

 

 

This doesn't work, I did try few variations but it seems I am missing something but I don't know what.

I was checking the error logs and I had 401, weirdly the API account had the appropriate rights assigned but after I selected full rights just to test if that was the reason it managed to change it.

I need to mention I did modify the script to to edit in extension attribute like in the link you provided.

Cheers!
