JSS Asset Tag Importer - Get those asset tags into your Casper JSS. For Mobile Devices and Computers!
I am not providing any kind of warranty. This has been thoroughly tested in my environments but I cannot guarantee that this script is not without bugs. Thank you
- Add more logging (Actual logging instead of print)
- Add gui? Prompt for values and file location
- Once bug in the API for large advanced searches is fixes, switch to advanced searches from smart groups.
For more detailed instructions, check out the [Quickstart] (https://github.com/bradschm/jss-assettag-importer/wiki/Quickstart)
- Make an JSS User Account and give it these API rights:
- Create/Read Computer Smart Groups
- Create/Read Mobile Device Smart Groups
- Update Computer records
- Update Mobile Device records
- Update User records
- Save a csv file of your serial numbers and asset tags. Format is assettag,serialnumber. In other words, the first column is the asset tag and the second is the serialnumber.
- Run the jss-importer.py script - be patient, this could take a while. Creating the groups can take a long time in large environments. Touching each record isn't blazing fast either but I did put in a progress counter ;)
Example command to execute: Open Terminal and run:
python path/to/jss-assettag-importer.py
