I would like to add an extension attribute for computer type, meaning Laptop, Server or Desktop. Obviously this could be a dumb drop down, but it would be great if there was a way to do it via computer model. Does anyone know if there is there a way that I could get an extension attribute to read the "Model" field in the hardware section of a computer in the JSS, then check against a list of what is considered a laptop or desktop, then mark the computer as such? This would obviously be a script that would have to run against the model of the computer that is captured during a Recon.
I have traditionally just used Smart Groups with model is like or not like, but it would be really helpful to have this as a piece of data embedded in each JSS entry.
Would be very helpful. Or, maybe someone knows another easy way to add this data to the JSS.
Another way to do this would be to do a search models that match all the different laptop models in the school, or "model like MacBook", then if bulk edit of an extension attribute drop down was possible…I would love the option of "bulk edit field..." in the "take action on..." menu, where you could bulk edit any field you want. But I already made a feature request for that here: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/featureRequest.html?id=150
Thanks all.
