Paul,
It would be great to have some visibility on which volume license type is installed when this condition is met. I'm in the process of rolling out the Office 2021 LTSC volume licensing installer and being able to report on which license file is there would be helpful. I had a much more rudimentary script that checked between for 2016 and 2019. When I added the check for /usr/bin/grep -q "Bozo+MzVxzFzbIo+hhzTl4xkRZSjOUX8J8nIgpXuMa" it wasn't reporting that I had 2021 license installed even though the About Word GUI showed I did. I ran the newer 2021 VL installer without removing the existing licensing file. For now, I am going to remove the existing licensing file before I install the 2021 file and hope that helps get me the reporting I need. Thanks!
Mike

https://github.com/pbowden-msft/ExtensionAttributes/blob/master/MAU_CheckMethod.sh relies on Python, and in macOS 12 beta, is causing a warning to be thrown when the EA is evaluated about it (or rather, "jamf") not being supported in future OS versions.

Found https://tidbits.com/2019/06/25/apple-to-deprecate-scripting-languages-in-future-versions-of-macos/

Looks like Apple is about to drop Python from macOS.

Thoughts on switching to using "defaults"? or PlistBuddy?

Hello,

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this kind of thing.
Is it possible to detect how an office app was installed ( AppStore or via PKG )?

Cheers,
Nick

HI I am using this script but i got this error

ExtensionAttributes/MAU_Pending_Updates.sh

You should check to see if the MicrosoftRegistrationDB.reg file exists first before trying to read from it. If a user hasn't logged on and had the file created yet, it will give an error when running the script, similar to:

Error: unable to open database "/Users/user/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/MicrosoftRegistrationDB.reg": unable to open database file

I updated the code to the following:

# check if the registry file exists
if [[ -e "$HOMEPATH/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/MicrosoftRegistrationDB.reg" ]]
then
# execute some sql to get the active O365 logon, if any
local RESULT=$(/usr/bin/sqlite3 "$HOMEPATH/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/MicrosoftRegistrationDB.reg" "SELECT value from HKEY_CURRENT_USER_values WHERE name='UserDisplayName' LIMIT 1;")
# checks to see if we got a hit
if [ "$RESULT" != "" ]; then
logons+="$RESULT;"
