Very short post! I promise 🙂

Unless I’m missing something (it’s getting late in the evening), Jamf Pro 10.18 does not report any inventory information yet about whether or not a macOS Catalina device has been Bootstrapped.

Hence, I wrote a very simple Extension Attribute to do so, which can then be used as criteria for Smart Groups and Advanced Searches.

#!/bin/bash
# very simple Extension Attribute to collect Bootstrap information
# copy script to an EA in Jamf Pro Settings -> Computer -> Extension Attribute
# EA input type: script
# 28th of January 2020 - By Travelling Tech Guy

bootstrap=$(profiles status -type bootstraptoken)
if [[ $bootstrap == *"escrowed to server: YES"* ]]; then
	echo "YES, Bootstrap escrowed"
 	result="YES"
else
	echo "NO, Bootstrap not escrowed"
	result="NO"
fi
echo "<result>$result</result>"

Create the Extension Attribute…

Run a recon or wait till next inventory update…

Yes, here I had a Bootstrapped Mac… 🙂 not matching the Smart Group screenshots below 🙂

… and create a Smart Group …

Add your EA as criteria, and as only Catalina has Bootstrap functionality add a second criteria with “Operation System Version LIKE 10.15”.

That’s it! Add it to the Dashboard if you want.

That’s it! As always, if you liked the post, hit the like button, tell your friends about it and leave a comment down below!
