Is it possible to made smart groups when a specific configuration profile is installed
So if I look for a config profile called "Extension" I would like to have a smart group on those computers who have this or not. I can of course create some EA, but doubt how to create this as script

Here is what we are using as an extension attribute to check for our wireless profile.
###########################################################################################################
# EA: WI-FI_PROFILE_NAME Installed?
###########################################################################################################
#!/bin/sh
profileName="WI-FI_PROFILE_NAME"
profiles=`profiles -C -v | grep attribute | awk '/name/{$1=$2=$3=""; print $0}' | grep "$profileName"`
if [[ ! -z "$profiles" ]]; then
echo "<result>Yes</result>"
else
echo "<result>No</result>"
fi
exit 0
You can then base the smart group on that.

Thats pretty sweet.
I wonder why JAMF has not created a smart group criteria based on a profile being true or not.

What is wrong with using 'Profile Identifier' as criterium for a smart group? It does not even require an EA or an inventory update, the MDM just knows about it.

Good call. On a user level profile you can open download/open the config file in an editor and get the Profile Identifier

Is it possible to query this when it is a user level policy?

sudo profiles -Pv should give you the names and UUID's of the configs installed.

Just in case anyone else Google's this, you can use the Advanced Criteria to choose "Profile Name".
(Not "Configuration Profile" like you would think it would be called).
