Got an iBeacon today - Having Fun - Online Testing Application

So I got a couple iBeacons this morning and have been playing around.

We do state online testing and we have a specific user that we use for online testing sessions. This user login triggers a number of policies to setup the testing environment. The trouble we run into is logging in hundreds of machines. I have solved this in the past by using ARD to send some osascript commands. While this is nice, someone with ARD has to be around to facilitate this or schedule it.

I just scoped a policy to run a script to login the testing user at the beaconStateChange trigger if it is at the login window and it works! My theory is we could provide iBeacons to the testing coordinators and when they are ready to test have them power up the iBeacon and the devices in range will login with the testing account.

Cheers,

Brad
