This is in reference to the previous thread here, https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=4270 . I believe this has been working fine, but currently none of my systems are showing warranty end dates. Is Apple's site just down temporarily? Tried putting the URL in manually using a good serial number and I get "We're sorry, our system is not available at this time.". I'm just hoping this is temporary.



On a related note, is there a good method of retaining historical information on extension attributes and other data? For example, if I had a weekly report that gave me all of this info, today I could go to a previous report to find the warranty end dates of all my systems...



Thanks!

apple changed the format and output from selfsolve.apple.com.



check this for a working implementation in python: https://github.com/pudquick/pyMacWarranty



or this in ruby: https://github.com/glarizza/scripts/blob/master/ruby/warranty.rb



my methods of parsing selfsolve output cached the results to /etc, so any future runs of the script used to populate the extension attribute didn't actually have to do a lookup unless something changed.

I was able to just add the <result></result> to your ruby script to get exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

jwelsh, would you mind sharing how you modified the ruby script? Not knowing Ruby, I've tried a couple of options but am getting an empty result.



Thanks!

+1 on how to integrate to JSS extension attribute. Could just echo on shell/bash, but Ruby? Tried a few obvious options and no luck



result = get_warranty(serial)

  print "<result>$result</result>"


Nope.

Simply put:



puts "<result>" + result + "</result>"

puts "<result>"+ (warranty_status ? "#{expiration_date}" : 'Expired') +"</result>"


returns <result>December 10, 2016</result>

is this script working for anybody ?I have added the script to the EA but unable to display the results.



can someone please advise

That script is not working anymore since Apple added a Captcha on the checkwarranty site.. Currently there is no way to populate Warranty info without GSX it seems.
