CirrusHow can I do a client side check for both Windows & OS X? I already have an Action for "Windows Registry Check" and I want to do a "Mac File Check" on the same Action box.
I figured it out. I created a macro with "registry check" and "Mac File Check"
One gotcha is that you have to specify the path, even so the documentation or help doesn't mentioned a path.
NimbostratusI think you need to call the "MAC file" in the VPE. But you can combine the checking in one.
expr { [mcget {session.windows_check_registry.last.result}] == 1 ||expr { [mcget {session.mac_check_file.last.result}] == 1 } }
After the "MAC file" put an expression to ignore the results returned, until its combined checked later.
I have not tested the behaviour of running mac file check in windows and vice versa. If your intention is to have a common VPE after the client check, using a macro might be a better option, with checking client type first before triggering the client check.
If checker runs on wrong platform, then fallback branch is used. I suggest to create a macrocall: os check -> [mac -> file check -> [success, fail], win -> registry check -> [success, fail]]. You can't just combine rules, you have to insert the agent for action be performed.

NimbostratusI know this is an old post, but I am doing this with version 12.1.x and I am having difficulty with locating any documentation on the file path parameters for the mac file. I have installed the file on the root volume and used /file.txt but no joy. Access Denied. Does anyone know the parameters for the file path?
NimbostratusI figured it out. The path was correct, but the file date was causing the issue! Once I entered the default date/time of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 it worked.
