Hey there, all! I have an extension attribute that I've been using for a few years. With the addition of macOS Sierra, this lookup, specifically "system_profiler" and "SPSerialATADataType" no longer works for MacBookPro13,1 (2TBT3 models) in my organization. Is anyone else noticing this issue?



No results are posted via the JSS or locally when performed in Terminal. It appears that Apple has deprecated "system_profiler" and I am wondering if there is a replacement lookup that others are using.



#!/bin/bash



Medium=$(system_profiler SPSerialATADataType | grep Medium Type | sed -e 's/^[Medium Type: ]*//')



echo "<result>$Medium</result>"

This seems to work in testing. Is anyone else using something similar?



#!/bin/bash



Medium=$(diskutil info disk0 | grep "Solid State" | sed -e 's/^[Solid State: ]*//')

echo "<result>$Medium</result>"
