One could use the 'Model Identifier' from the Advanced Criteria to create a smart group as a target for the script, reducing the scope and the workload on the system.

@donmontalvo i tried this with a script and EA with smart group, however, while i can run the command fine, natively on the machine, it does run right as a script.

Error running script: return code was 126.

i assume its having difficulty making the directory for reason, maybe it needs a $currentuser or something to that effect defined vs just /library/ ?

@tlarkin lol, I can barely keep up with my own work, let alone... :) In any case, I have noticed that once a battery has been replaced, the response still comes back from qualityprograms.apple.com/snlookup/062019 as "Eligible" .. which is definitely annoying

I guess quality programs is just a clever name then :-D
