The purpose of this script is to run an arbitrary number of required software policies or worklets against a list of devices exported from the Devices page in the Automox console. This script allows you to apply policies against a device, separate from its group designation in Automox.
To run this script, reference the step-by-step process and code located here in the original posting on the Automox community.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These API scripts DO NOT include any of the guardrails included when you run similar operations through the console. Be aware that the script executes the policies without checking the policy state on that device, or running the evaluation code in a worklet. It executes the policy with no evaluation checks and no notifications. There are no checks to validate the OS version or to reboot after a patching policy if necessary.
Tips for Running this Automox Script
Before deploying this script to the production environment, we suggest testing this on a few devices to confirm its accuracy. If you have any questions, please contact our support team for technical assistance at support@automox.com.
