Autopkg/JSSImporter : Disable the creation of Smart Group

[microservo]

Hi To All,
 I'm using Autopkg with JSSimporter to upload the package and policy to JSS.
 For the moment I don't need the creatio of SmartGroup, because I'm using another logic.
 Is there a way to avoid/disable the creation of the Smart Group ? For the moment the only workaround is create a fake/empty Group not used from the package.

 Thanks in advance for the help
 M.

Hello,

I think you'll need to make these three changes:

First, you'll want to edit your recipe override to contain an empty GROUP_TEMPLATE string:

<key>GROUP_TEMPLATE</key>

<string></string>

Next, you'll want to edit your recipe override to contain a custom POLICY_TEMPLATE file:

<key>POLICY_TEMPLATE</key>

<string>PolicyTemplate-NoSmartGroup.xml</string>

Finally, duplicate the stock PolicyTemplate.xml file into a new file called PolicyTemplate-NoSmartGroup.xml, move it to your RecipeOverrides folder, and edit the scope from this:

<scope>

    <!--Scope added by JSSImporter-->

</scope>

to this:

<scope/>

The effect of the above will be to create a policy with no scope at all. Of course you can choose to define a hard-coded scope if you prefer, as I do with my Self Service policies:

<scope>

    <all_computers>true</all_computers>

</scope>

It's all possible with the magic of XML. :-)

Great Thanks!
The answer for me was the syntax to pass an empty "Group Template" in the override policy so

<key>GROUP_TEMPLATE</key>

<string></string>

(Before your hint I've tried to remove completely this part, but of course without this it will point to the original recipe..)

I already had a scope configured in the Policy so with this changes now everything works as expected (so Policy uploade with my scope and not Group Created)

Thanks again.
