need help finding Microsoft User Data folder size for all Mac Users as a report.

Quick & dirty way:

du -sh /Users/*/Documents/Microsoft User Data

But that won't add the results together.

well the casper share mounts when a script runs right? So, maybe we could do this?

#!/bin/bash

UserList=dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 < 500 { print $1 }'

for u in $UserList ; do

results=du -sh /Users/$u/Microsoft User Data echo "$u $results" >> /Volumes/CasperShare/msuserdata.txt

done exit 0

Though I am not sure if the read only casper account executes scripts or the read/write. I assume it would be the read only...

Why not put this to an extension attribute and pull the report that way?

oh my, hahaha I meant to do a greater than instead of less than, OK new script with extension attributes....

#!/bin/bash

UserList=dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 { print $1 }'

for u in $UserList ; do

results=du -sh /Users/$u/Microsoft User Data <result>echo "$u $results" </result>

done exit 0

** I never really converted my dummy receipts to extension attributes feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this. **

Hi,

I have created the below extension attribute to query the size of all Users Library Preferences. When I run this as shell script it gives the size of all the users preferences, but when I add as extension attribute it gives only one users details.

*#!/bin/sh

UserList=`/bin/ls /Users | sed -e '/Shared/d' -e '/Deleted Users/d' -e '/.localized/d' -e '/.DS_Store/d' -e '/.com.apple.timemachine.supported/d' -e '/Adobe/d' -e '/Library/d'`

for i in $UserList;
do

results=du -sh /Users/$i/Library/Preferences

echo "<result>"$i $results"</result>"

done

exit 0

You are getting multiple results from your script, for example

<result>User1 28M /Users/User1/Library/Preferences</result>
<result>User2 51M /Users/User2/Library/Preferences</result>
<result>User3 1.9M /Users/User3/Library/Preferences</result>

So Casper will only see one result. You need an output as:

<result>User1 28M /Users/User1/Library/Preferences
User2 12K /Users/User2/Library/Preferences
User3 1.9M /Users/User3/Library/Preferences</result>

Try something like

#!/bin/bash

echo -n "</result>"

UserList=`/bin/ls /Users | sed -e '/Shared/d' -e '/Deleted Users/d' -e '/.localized/d' -e '/.DS_Store/d' -e '/.com.apple.timemachine.supported/$

for i in $UserList;
do

results=du -sh /Users/$i/Library/Preferences
echo $results

done

echo "</result>"

exit 0


It may be a little cleaner if you load the resulting file sizes into an
array and echo out the array between your results tags.

Hi,

The below Extension Attribute provides the size of Microsoft User Data Folder.

*#!/bin/sh

# Extension Attribute for displaying size of all Users Microsoft User Data Folder.

echo "<result>"

UserList=`/bin/ls /Users | sed -e '/Shared/d' -e '/Deleted Users/d' -e '/.localized/d' -e '/.DS_Store/d' -e '/.com.apple.timemachine.supported/d' -e '/Adobe/d' -e '/Library/d'`

for user in $UserList;
do

foldersize=du -sh /Users/$user/Documents/Microsoft User Data

echo $user $foldersize

done
echo "</result>"
exit 0

I did not try the other one but I just whipped this up and ran Recon
and it worked.

#!/bin/bash

for user in /Users/*; do if [ -d "$user/Documents/Microsoft User Data" ]; then size=$(du -sh "$user/Documents/Microsoft User Data"); echo "<result>$size</result>"; fi
done

Good Luck!

Hi,

I have created the script for finding Microsoft Users data folder size from the Users Documents folder
Here is the script I am able to execute it using command line its working fine and giving results.

But when I am coping same script in the Extension attributes as per the instruction given in the KB article http://www.jamfsoftware.com/kb/article.php?id=278.
And running inventory search, I am not able see any results.

#!/bin/bash

UserList=dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 { print $1 }'

for u in $UserList ; do

results=du -sh /Users/$u/Documents/Microsoft User Data
echo "<result> $u $results </result>"

done exit 0

Please help if anyone has gone through the same problem.

It looks like your script will return multiple <result>'s, which I'm not sure if the JSS will like. You might want to just add the result in each 'for loop' to a string and then return the entire thing at the end. Something like:

#!/bin/bash

UserList=dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 { print $1 }'

result=""

for u in $UserList ; do

results=du -sh /Users/$u/Documents/Microsoft User Data

result="$result $u $results "

done

echo "<result>$result</result>"

exit 0
