Recon does not include Microsoft AutoUpdate.app when it collects inventory on macs. How do I get JAMF to include that during recon? I would like to utilize the command line tools available in version 3.18 of autoupdate, but I need to verify that version exists.

You can create an Extension Attribute. Or you can update your inventory scanning to look at the directory where Microsoft AutoUpdate.app exists.

If you track it with Patch Management that will do a lot of the work for you.

Here is the extension attribute for Autoupdater, after you create it you can make smartgroup to key off of.
MAUVers=$(defaults read /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/Info CFBundleVersion)
echo "<result>$MAUVers</result>"

Thanks Chris! I got it added as an attribute and it is being populated as macs update their inventory.

You can also add it to your inventory collection by going to Settings --> Computer Inventory Collection --> Software --> Applications (or: https://jss.yourcompany.com:8443/inventoryCollection.html ) and adding a custom path: "/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0". Once you add that path it will show up in the inventory listing for the computer.

This produces the following server error on 10.30.3.
See JAMFSoftwareServer.log for more details
I have tried on our test and prod environments.
