I'm wondering if anyone out there has had to deal with something like this-
We have specific requirements for the contents of all our client Macs ARD Computer Info fields, that I'm hoping to populate dynamically from the User and Location info for each system in our JSS (which is derived from LDAP via a daily policy) - and seeing as we have a thousand or so systems to populate, I'm interested in automating this as much as possible. I know that the binary has the
setARDFields
command as well as kickstarter's
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -set1 -1 "some text"
Moreover, once these are set the first time for our site, if this works, little or no time need be spent updating those ARD fields when a new user is assigned to a system.
So:
ARD Computer 1 = User full name (as listed for that system in the JSS -User and Location info)
ARD Computer 2 = username ("")
ARD Computer 3 - = Department ("")
ARDComputer 4 – Building / floor number ("")
And in my research thus far I haven't seen anything about writing from the JSS info to the fields -
