Create mailing list from JSS all managed clients

[May]

Hi all

some input if possible please

We need a way to send out emails to all our Mac users, i'd like to use the method of
choosing Action > Send Email from a smart group but this doesn't give me the option of including attachments (please correct me if i'm wrong and you can add attachments, i'd like to be wrong!)

I'm looking at a way of getting the email addresses from the smart group All Manage Clients,
i've exported the web page to a pdf so i have all the addresses in text form.

Automator has a PDF to text action which will produce an rtf from the pdf.
Can anyone suggest a way of extracting just the email addresses from the pdf or rtf ?

or point me to another way to create a mail group from the JSS ?

Thanks!
Andy

You could just export the computers as csv and specify the email address field only.

Create a saved search with the same criteria as the "all managed clients", select the email address as the only field to show and select csv as the output / export option.
