ManageEngine Asset Explorer

@jramm There is a sh script you can use to get Mac devices into ManageEngine, not aware of anything for iOS.

I saw the script for that. Curious if anyone has used the API to just pull from JSS inventory to ManageEngine.

@kericson I found the sh script on github, but I've only been able to get it to work on the initial install; it doesn't send any updated info. Do you have any experience with it?

Yeah let me share the policy and pkg that I have with you. I’ll do this tonight.

@jramm This is how I have mine setup.

1. Download the script from your ServiceDesk console.
   
   

2. Modify the script for your environment.

#!/bin/sh


############ Server details ############

hostName="MSD69"
portNo="443"
protocol="https"

############ Server details ############

SUPPORT="assetexplorer-support@manageengine.com"
PRODUCT="AssetExplorer"

COMPUTERNAME=`hostname`
OUTPUTFILE="$COMPUTERNAME.xml"

3. Save the script and build it into a PKG and deploy with a policy. I had mine installed at /Library/SD/ae_scan_mac.sh

1. Push this policy to all Macs.

2. Create another policy to run this .sh script.
   

3. Now Macs will scan into ServiceDesk.

@kericson What version of AssetExplorer are you using?

Edit: Found it. Let me test that out. From speaking to AssetExplorer support, they denied this functionality.

@kericson Thanks for the assist. Are you able to get it to pull in the actual Macbook model (e.g. MacBookPro15,1, etc...)? So far I can only get the generic "MacBookPro." When I make adjustments to the script for some reason ManageEngine won't accept it.

@jramm I haven't tried to modify that info so not sure.
