Is there any way to invoke a forced update of user information from LDAP with out the device needing to be check in?
we have status of our users directly maped in our user details of AD which is imported through ldap, and updates overnight providing the device is checking in, if the device doesn't checkin this information never updates, putting critical information which we leverage in the MDM for app and setting distribution etc. But also helps us insure the statistics of things are accurate due to the status information we map into fields like room and department and phone of the users ldap which.
I have used API to update MacBook information before, however I am trying to workout how I can force this process that occurs nightly with devices check in, without their need to check in, so that stale devices are showing the correct status of our users, or at the very least, collect the user assigned to the device, and leverage this against a CSV to update the fields through a manual csv.
For years I have used a screen recorded macro to tab click, each device, and manually research the assigned user and update the details once it has collected the new information from AD. Ideally though an API script could probably achieve this result far better.
