Extension Attributes

Extension Attributes

Audit every computer extension attribute (EA) and see which smart groups use it. Read-only.

How to use it

1. Connect to Jamf Pro and click Connect & Check Permissions. The tool checks Read for Computer Extension Attributes and Smart Computer Groups.
2. Click Continue → (or Proceed Anyway →) to scan. The tool reads every computer EA, then reads the criteria of every smart computer group.

Results

EAs are split into two tabs:

Tab	What it shows
In Use	EAs used in at least one smart computer group's criteria, with the number of groups
Orphaned	EAs that no smart computer group uses

Each EA shows its name, input type (for example Script) and data type. Select an EA to see its script, or its XML definition for other input types, and the smart groups that use it. Show Orphaned Only and Search narrow the list.

• Download Script saves a script EA as a .sh file.
• Download EA XML saves the EA's full definition as an .xml file.

What isn't checked

Only smart computer group criteria are checked. An orphaned EA can still be useful: it might show data in inventory, or be used in an advanced search, a report or another tool. Orphaned script EAs are worth reviewing, though, because every Mac runs them at each inventory update.

Export

• Export CSV saves ExtensionAttributes_<server>.csv.
• Export HTML saves ExtensionAttributes_<server>.html with each EA's name, input type, data type and the smart groups that use it.

Scan Again returns to the start.
