Email notifications during imaging

I've setup a Smart Group that notifies me when a computer is added that has the latest version of the OS (in our case 10.12.6) I use this as a sign that imaging is completed. It doesn't necessarily mean that all the post-imaging tasks are completed (like joining AD and installing required apps), but when I get that email I know that the imaging itself is done and the computer has rebooted and collected an initial inventory.

We do something like that emails a noticeboard to say machine name, workflow used etc.

Can share if you're interested.

@allanp81 , I'd be interested to see what you're doing. We do the OSD email notification here and our on-site folks could benefit from something from the Mac side as well.

Thanks in advance.

@allanp81 would love to see what you guys are doing. I've been racking my brain trying to work out a way in which we can achieve this.

@AVmcclint I will give that a go and see how it works out for me, however I was looking for something that might confirm that the imaging process has completed successfully.

@fidg0010 We simply have a script named the same as the imaging workflow name, added to Jamf. We then run this at the end of the imaging process:

#!/bin/bash
#Logs which imaging workflow was run

#make sure log directory exists
if [ ! -d "/Library/Application Support/KingstonUniversity" ]; then
  mkdir "/Library/Application Support/KingstonUniversity/"
fi

#set log file location to log outcome of operation
logfile="/Library/Application Support/KingstonUniversity/kuworkflow.log"

#get the date and time
addDate(){
        while IFS= read -r line; do
            echo "$(date) $line"
        done
    }

#print workflow name based on script name
printf '%s
' "${0##*/}" | cut -f 1 -d '.' |addDate >> "$logfile"

workflow=$( printf '%s
' "${0##*/}" | cut -f 1 -d '.' )

echo $workflow

#Check that the smtp server is being specified in /etc/postfix/main.cf
if grep 'your smtp server here' /etc/postfix/main.cf
    then
        echo "SMTP server already configured"
    else
        echo "SMTP server not configured, adding now"
        echo "relayhost = your smtp server here" >> /etc/postfix/main.cf
    fi



echo "Emailing ServiceDesk"
sendmail -f from@someone.com -t to@someone.com <<EOF
