not sure if anyone is interested in using the Crucial RAM selector tool in Self Service

1) Go to [Crucial.com](www.crucial.com) & download Crucial System Scanner
2) Package the app to install in:

/usr/sbin/[your_company]/apps/crucial/

3) Computer Management > Inventory Collection > Software [edit] add the location you packaged the app

4) cat /usr/sbin/[your_company]/apps/crucial/CrucialMacScanner.app/Contents/Info.plist get the version number your going to need that later.

6) Now lets create a smart computer group so we can keep track of the users that need this installed. I named my Smart Group "Crucial RAM tool (not installed)

7) So next up is two polices #1 to install the app, and #2 is to make it work in Self Service.

Policy #1

Policy #2 b49ea9918bfd4bf5ae26d091b2d3cd95

End result: Open a safari page w/the RAM options your users can send to their managers for approval.

Why install it to /usr/sbin/ ?

I prefer to keep a few things out of the /Applications folder so users can't access it.
