Smart Groups and Dashboard

Well, yes in fact. Have a similar SMART group for different purposes. Here's what I do.

•) My administrative account for the JSS is "admin", this is important.
•) My students machines are all in easily identifiable 'departments' In my case they are called:
student
student-loaner

Now, I use the following extension attribute found somewhere here on JAMFNation (Sorry for lacking attribution), to determine which accounts on any given unit are administrative users:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to detect if a computer has a local admin account on it with an UID of above 500

# Initialize array

list=()


# generate user list of users with UID greater than 500

for username in $(dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 { print $1 }'); do

# Checks to see which usernames are reported as being admins. The
# check is running dsmemberutil's check membership and listing the
# accounts that are being reported as admin users. Actual check is
# for accounts that are NOT not an admin (i.e. not standard users.)

    if [[ $(dsmemberutil checkmembership -U "${username}" -G admin) != *not* ]]; then
    # Any reported accounts are added to the array list
        list+=("${username}")
    fi
done

# Prints the array's list contents

echo "<result>${list[@]}</result>"

I've called this Extension Attribute "Admin Users"... Cryptic I know.

So my SMART criteria are as follows:

• Extension Attribute: "Admin Users" IS NOT "admin" -This will show any unit who has an account additional to my admin user. Afterall, if the only adminsitrative account was "admin" then that would be the only output. Anything else trips the policy and qualifies.

---AND---

(
Department IS "Student"

---OR---

Department IS "Student-Loaner"
)

Thanks Chris_Hafner - this wasn't exactly what I had set out to have but might be more useful as I think about it. I just now ran it locally and noticed that it didn't pick up active directory accounts which will be a problem. I hadn't realized that AD accounts might be treated differently for something like this or I would have mentioned we were using AD to begin with.

Regardless this looks like it could be good for checking if any local admin accounts are created.

Check out this thread. There are several options for EA
