	#!/bin/sh

	URL="https://jss.talkingmoose.net:8443"
	userName="JSSAPI-Editor"
	password="password"

	serialNumber=$( system_profiler SPHardwareDataType \| grep "Serial Number" \| awk -F: '{ print $2 }' \| xargs )

talkingmoose / DeleteCasperRemotePolicies.sh

Created July 19, 2017 22:29

each run of Casper Remote generates a new policy that's stored in the JSS. However, those policies are not visible and the JSS has no means to allow administrators to delete them. This script identifies all JSS policies with names in the format: '2013-08-07 at 4:18 PM | jsanchez | 1 Computer' and deletes them.

	#!/bin/sh
