Jamf Professional Services will help you create extension attributes and smart computer groups, during your engagement, using a script so that you can monitor the progress of users through the migration.

In Jamf Pro, extension attribute data for individual computers is located in the General pane of each computer record and is populated after the computer begins the migration process.

  1. These extension attributes are created via script.
