Hi all,



at my client we have a zoo of MacPro's Ethernet , MacBooks with Thunderbolt-Ethernet and Thunderbolt-Displays.



While we're upgrading the Macs to latest Yosemite (ElCapitan is not an option because of the productive environment), clients often "forget" the Network-Settings (DNS-Servers and Proxy).



Normally, we have three locations:



Client_Net:
Only Ethernet, Thunderbolt-Ethernet or Display-Ethernet enabled
Special DNS and Proxy



Client_WIFI:
Only WIFI enabled
Special DNS and Proxy



WIFI-Free
Any Adapter can be active and can be used (WIFI, Thunderbolt-Ethernet,...)
No special settings.



My question:



How to put it with "networksetup" into a script that these networksettings/locations are with a firstboot-script are enabled again?



Thank you!
Holger

Hi Holger,



here's a redacted version of the networksetup script i use,
you may be able to adjust it to your needs:

Depending on in which scenario you use it, it might be useful to blow away any locations that existed previously before running this (or add a couple lines to the beginning to take care of this)

Hi,



thank you! This is really a big help...



Cheers,
Holger

Thanks Chris. Used your script as reference and created this per our needs. Enhanced a bit to eliminate hardcoding of Network Adapter information.



#Proxy Information. Input your proxy information here.

proxy="proxy.domain.com"

port="1234"

bypass="domain1.com, domain2.com, *.domain.com"



#Detect existing Network Adapters and store in an array

detectadapters=$(networksetup -listallhardwareports | grep "Hardware Port" | sed 's/Hardware Port: //g' | grep 'Wi-Fi|Ethernet|USB|LAN')



IFS=$'

'

netadapters=($detectadapters)

unset IFS



#Check if Network Locations are already existing and remove them

work=`networksetup -listlocations | grep "Work Networks"`

nonwork=`networksetup -listlocations | grep "Non-Work Networks"`

automatic=`networksetup -listlocations | grep "Automatic"`



if [ "$automatic" != "" ]; then

networksetup -switchtolocation "Automatic"

else

networksetup -createlocation "Automatic" populate

networksetup -switchtolocation "Automatic"

fi



if [ "$work" != "" ]; then

networksetup -deletelocation "Work Networks"

fi



if [ "$nonwork" != "" ]; then

networksetup -deletelocation "Non-Work Networks"

fi



#Setup Network Locations

networksetup -createlocation "Non-Work Networks" populate

networksetup -createlocation "Work Networks" populate

networksetup -switchtolocation "Work Networks"

networksetup -deletelocation "Automatic"



# Configure Proxy Looping through the available network adapters

for i in "${netadapters[@]}"

do

networksetup -setwebproxy "$i" "$proxy" "$port"

networksetup -setsecurewebproxy "$i" "$proxy" "$port"

networksetup -setproxybypassdomains "$i" "$bypass" 

done



exit 0


Any suggestions for further enhancement are Welcome.
