Re: changing computer list with dscl

Hello all.
I've poked about and learned a bit more about dscl than I did before (which is still not much) but I have one thing I would like to do that I cannot sort out.

I'd like to be able to feed a bash script a text file with the name or MAC addresses of a list of computers, and have the script call dscl and change which computer list each computer is in. Specifically I want to remove each computer from the Graphics computer list and add it to the GraphicsExams list. This is easy in WGM, but you have to do it one computer at a time, which is a pain. The bash scripting part of this task is easy, but I cannot sort out the syntax of dscl. Can anyone offer some tips?

Thanks
Dave



You'll want to change 127.0.0.1 to whatever is appropriate for your server:

dscl  /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /ComputerLists   (will display the computer lists you have defined)
dscl  /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -read /ComputerLists/Graphics Computers   (will display all computers in the Graphics list)

More info at "man dscl"
