[Eric Harrison]

Hi all, 
Im new to Munki so please pardon my ignorance.  How does one assign an machine to a manifest?

thanks, 

Eric

By default (with no ClientIdentifier in ManagedInstalls.plist), the client looks for a manifest corresponding to its own hostname.

However, specifying that ClientIdentifier=Manifest will do it.  (Greg's Munki walkthru: https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Demonstration-Setup#munki-client-configuration)

To expand on that point, it follows the lookup process described here: https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/managedsoftwareupdate#operation-overview

You can see that lookup process in action during a run at the command line by adding verbose output (e.g. -vv)to the managedsoftwareupdate command line tool.

So by the manifest being in the repo(and properly formatted/accessible when hit over HTTP) it will be searched for and applied by the client.

But if I change the CID to the manifesto name, won’t it show up as the manifest name in munkireport-php?

Eric,

Changing the client identifier to a specific manifest does not change how the computer entry appears in MunkiReport-PHP other than to show which exact manifest it is using.

This may be getting a bit too detailed, but in case you're curious, MunkiReport stores the manifest in a table called munkireport with the field name manifestname, and it stores the machine name in a table called machine with the field name machine_name (there's also a separate field for the hostname).

I see.  not it’s all coming together.  thanks for the help
