I have 200+ machines on my network and manage mostly through ARD, I am trying to figure out a way to generate a list of computers that DO NOT have a specified app installed. Can this be achieved through either ARD, AppleScript or a combination of both?
well if you send unix command and do some thing like:
ls -al /Applications/Firefox.app
if it's not there , you would get back
ls: /Applications/Firefox.app: No such file or directory
BUT that dosen't tell you what verion is installed.
you could do send unix command:
defaults read /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/version.plist CFBundleShortVersionString
if it's installed you'll get back some thing like:
9.2.1
if not installed you'll get back some thing like.
The domain/default pair of (/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/version.plist, CFBundleShortVersionString) does not exist
Generating a report for non-existent apps?
