This Jamf Pro Extension Attribute is used to determine software deployment groups.

#!/bin/bash

# This Jamf Pro Extension Attribute is designed to calculate and set a 
# numerical identifier for individual Macs based on the Mac's machine UUID.
# This numerical identifier in turn is designed to be used to determine deployment
# groups.
#
# By default, this script is designed to set up and assign Macs to seven
# deployment groups, with the following percentage of Macs assigned to
# each group.
#
# Group		% of Macs		
# -------------------------
# 1			1
# 2			5
# 3			10
# 4			20
# 5			20
# 6			20
# 7			24
#


# Put in the name of your company, school, or institution.
# Must all be one word without spaces
#
# Examples:
#
# MyGreatCompany
# TheNewSchool
# BankofGreaterNewtown
# MikesSurfShop
