My network guy and I did some work on our LDAP (AD) mappings. I now have the mappings as I want them but I would like to know if there is a magic incantation that will force an update of all my records in the JSS at once with the new data or do I have to do them all individually? Thanks for any help.

newbie LDAP mapping question

I have opened a case with JAMF. We will see what they have to offer. Thanks for the help.
+18The closest you can get is to set a policy to have the info updated based on the current logging in users AD name.
Not sure if there is a way using the event api possibly?
+18@kyoung - if you are needing what @davidacland above is stating, I used the info in this thread successfully.
+8I guess I need to be more specific in my question.
The mappings I did were for users. I am not looking for hardware updates but user updates. An example would be getting the grade level (class of 2020, class of 2021, etc...) of a student from LDAP. I am such a newbie I can't possibly wade into API's or anything at that level yet.
+18Just to be sure, you want this extra information to be displayed in the JSS? Do you want it linked to a computer record, or to show up in the user record?
+18Ok, thats not particularly easy but the process would be to create an extension attribute that:
- Reads the device's allocated user from the JSS using the API (sorry)
- Perform an AD lookup using dscl to get the grade level attribute for that user
So it is possible, just not very easy I'm afraid.
