Deploy OpenDNS Roaming Client Latest Version
Summary
This script will query Cisco directly to obtain the newest roaming client installation media and install that software, if necessary, on a target Mac or Windows device.
The script will push an update to the Windows device if an out-of-date version is installed. However, for macOS, it is just a basic installation script.
Implementation
- Set up the client EDF values as necessary per client.
- Set any location-level exclusions here.
- Set any computer-level exclusions here.
- Import and run the new script.
Dependencies
- Cisco must continue to support and update their .json file.
