[Casper] Searching for Accounts

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Sure can...maybe.


 *   Management Tab
 *   Smart Computer Groups
 *   New Smart Computer Group
 *   Give the group a name and check the box if you want notification of additions or removals to the group
 *   Click the + for Computer Info
 *   Select Platform
 *   In the field for Platform enter the word Mac
 *   Click Save Group

Since you can only create smart groups with managed machines this should give them all to you. In fact you don't even need to put in any criteria and you should get the same results.

If you are specifically saying that you have a maintenance account that is NOT the same as the account the JSS uses to manage the machines then I don't think there are any easy options built into the JSS to do that type of search in mass. Although local account information is stored in the inventory record for each managed machine.

Hopefully that's helpful. Otherwise...feel free to submit a feature request. =)

Oh Wise ones,

I have a maintenance account on some machines and not others. I would like to be able to create a smart group based on machines with this account, or at least be able to do an inventory search for machines with the account. Can this be done?
